Hacking Nintendont

[darkseekerliu]

Man, is there any way to make Nintendont compatible with ntfs, I would be happy with my wbfs and games folders in the same hdd. Oh, and greetings and many many thanks.

Man just use fat32. Format you hard drive with a 32kb cluster, set it as primary and active partition. Create a folder called "wbfs" and put you wii games there. Create a folder called "GAMES" and put your gamecube games there. Simple like that.

Well, actually, not at all. I use my Hdd for more than only wii isos, and ntfs support files bigger than 4GB, so that's not a possibility.

The wii wbfs files can be "split" to fit in a FAT32 HDD and still work perfectly, so that's not a problem at all (I use it like that). So what else can you have in the HDD that's over 4GB and can't be used in a FAT32 HDD? I'm sorry, but IMO that kind of reason isn't enough to ask the devs to put time into adding ntfs support when there are more important things like compatibility, MC support, etc.

Fine just create 02 partitions on your hdd, create a first and primary and active fat32 partition for all you gamecube/wii games and another NTFS partition for other stuff. Just like fakul1810 said, the wii backup managers can split the games that are 4+GB and they work fine with no problems at all.

Is this how a drive needs to be set to prevent the error 12 message I've been getting?

Was not sure how to specifically set up the drive to work with Nintendont and now maybe I'll try this.

I've never seen this error, but my HDD is set up this way and it is working perfect on my wii / wii u - if you setup your hardrive this way, you also will be able to use Dios Mios on real wii and wii usb loaders will work as well since they look for gamecubes on GAMES folder and Wii games at wbfs folder.

Give it a try and repport back.

I've never heard of an error 12 (except in post you made before) so I don't know what exactly might be the cause.. If I'm right though, it should happen after it's reached the point of Init CARD.. so maybe it's an issue with your memory card, like read/write permissions or something.. Does this happen even if you disable MCEmu?

Maybe it would help to know what else do you see besides that error number.

A new diosmios version is out.. 2.11. The fatFs is the addon for make dm fast like nin? A wii is a very good gamecube! Thank i very much coder!
Any chance for more triiforce compatibility? Or make quadforce like nin? Iam talking about speed . Mariokart gp1 is 2x fast on n nin. But on quadforce we can save!g

I think Crediar got a triforce hardware and he's trying to understand how it works properly before doing any anything about that games. Meanwhile, keep using quadforce if you can.
About DM, yes, the loading times are way quicker in almost games.

Seriously?
Watch the Google Code page, Nintendon't is already compatible with Mario Kart GP1, GP2 also boots but hangs at the camera
screen. F-Zero AX is compatible with cheat codes in F-Zero GX.

Read what he said.. GP1 works but it's twice as fast in nintendont, and apparently you can't save in those games yet, but in quadforce you can but it works at half the speed... So I guess he's asking if they can add save support to nintendont, or more speed to quadforce. Something like that.

He did say something about more Triforce, whatother games are there but those 3 and VT?

He said "more triforce compatibility", not exactly "more games"; so he might have been talking about the speed and save support, the freezing in GP2, all that stuff falls into "compatibility issues". Edit: Also, in Dolphin's wiki, the Triforce page has a list with a few more games, though most of them seem to be Japan only.

Fine just create 02 partitions on your hdd, create a first and primary and active fat32 partition for all you gamecube/wii games and another NTFS partition for other stuff. Just like fakul1810 said, the wii backup managers can split the games that are 4+GB and they work fine with no problems at all.

Hmmm, you won, I'll gotta try it.

I was trying to avoid that option, but having nothing else...

umm... use the edit option on your first post instead of double posting..

 

[zombieman]

I remember fix94 saying something about an updater tool. Did he release it yet?

check out the newest version of usb loader gx it has update nintendont option in the features section

 

[ShadowOne333]

???
There is no need for such thing.
I have all my Wii, NGC games and personal documents in the same partition as FAT32 I think.

I had to do the same thing (PS3 games are big). For best results, use easus partition manager or some other fancier partition manager to shift the ntfs partition over and create the fat32 partition at the front of the disk (and don't lose power/unplug during the process).
