Looks like Metroid Prime 1 and 2 broke after 1.63 was released (https://github.com/thedax/nintendont-mirror/commit/efe96f652d0be03267f112863e1670ffc04870a6).

Trying an internal 1 TB WD HDD in USB enclosure
Made an 80 GB FAT32/Primary/Active
Nintendont is stuck at "Checking FS"
Tried to resize to 32 GB and tried different cluster sizes (8,16,32...) and still getting the same error
Is there anything I can still try before labeling the drive as non-compatible?

try a single partition with at least 32kb if not then 64kb and report back. im using a wd digiatl 1TB and another 1.5tb all seems pretty well. but i did try using an internal hd before for an external and it just wouldnt work to well for normall wii games (never tried nintendont with it)

I'll check this later, I wish I tested before copying my 500GB to this drive

Another thing: Mario strikers ntsc still freeze with 1.67 on Dolby Digital logo so I'm still using 1.62

MGS Twin Snakes NTSC no longer boots either (hangs after the Konami screen with an error), as of v1.63:

ERROR: module 'shared/mgso.rel' is too big

Anyone having crashes 5-10 minutes into any game on v1.67? I think it may be the new caching method.

 

[daxtsu]

I've had Melee running for about 20 minutes with no hang or crash so far. What games have you seen the crashes in?

Pretty much any any game that worked before.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Super Mario Sunshine
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil Code Veronica X

It may just be a fluke on my end (i've been having some other bad luck lately with the program) but i want to be sure first. I'm sure it would do it with anything else that's worked perfect before too that i haven't tried.

PAL version doesn't boot either, gets stuck on a black screen after the logo.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

I tried SSBM, Resident Evil Code Veronica X (both NTSC) and Resident Evil 2 PAL and they didn't crash or freeze at any point. I didn't play much of any of them though, maybe I should go for more than 5 mins.

FF Crystal Chronicles, Mario Kart Double Dash, and Fire Emblem all seem to hang when an FMV plays, or shortly after one is finished playing. I'm going to stick with 1.61 (recompiled) for now, I think..

did you deleted all nintendont created files on the SD/usb? some users were having alot of problems until they deleted those

 

[daxtsu]

If you're talking about nincfg.bin, I more or less delete it before every game I boot. It didn't make a difference with those games.

 

[pedro702]

yup it seems that the if for metroid prime and friends got broken on 1.67 so i guess a dev should look into it they are still being affected by that wierd patch they dont like, i guess its a minor codding problem

 

[SwedishGojira]

had to skip 30-ish pages to catch up again

Just to check, the ustealth fix hasn't been added to the compiled googlecode builds yet, right?
(no evidence otherwise on googlecode, at least, without actually downloading and testing ... which I'll do soon)

Nope. Not as far as I can tell. I still have to use your mod to compile it for UStealth support.

just uploaded 1.69, now metroid prime should run fine again and games like melee should not randomly freeze or have sound issues.

Tested it just now, seems like MGS Twin Snakes works again; surely the issue was because of the bug you fixed in this rev. Great work!

 

[pedro702]

Rev 1.69 fixed

dreamworks over the hedje but the huge wait time to start is still there

To anyone wanting to play Dreamworks over the hedje it takes 20 seconds of black scrren to reach the progressive scan screen then it takes like 40-50 seconds of title screen for the game actually start but after that it runs well

Also Mario Strikers US works now ... thanks Fix94

1.69 on Normal wii cannot be started from homebrew channel. Gives message "please load nintendont with AHBProt disabled" It will start from wiiflow but it does'nt auto start games plus it does not save settings e.g. you have to press B every time you load to enter settings. Also Metroid Prime 1+2 do freeze but it isn't always at same points. I played MP1 up to Talon Overworld, saved then reset the game. Next time I loaded it froze on main start screen with screwed up sound. Next time it loaded ok (wierd eh). MP2 does exactly the same.
