he could put the post in his signature, and always update the same post. or make a blog instead of burring it in this thread (like I did)
but not everyone will remember to check his post.
Why not editing the wiki himself? it's not that difficult, and there's a preview to "try and fail" before really submitting the changes so anyone can learn and see the result before officially editing the compatibility list.
 
actually, I just tried that. The Nintendont loader from HBC does give me a black screen without any text. I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm using the latest dol file from https://nintendon-t.googlecode.com/svn-history/r80/trunk/loader/loader.dol

I guess I could try the release version...
I believe the latest is:
https://nintendon-t.googlecode.com/svn-history/r131/trunk/loader/loader.dol
current is:
https://nintendon-t.googlecode.com/svn-history/trunk/loader/loader.dol
 
There's a permanent link in the first post to the latest rev. I don't understand why people always ends up downloading a previous version.

i will try to add them to wiki soon. of course i would have only add them there but i wanted to let the members know about the current status of other unmentioned games too, that's why i'm also posting here first.
technical stuff is available inside the spoilers.
it's impressive how many games are playable now with Nintendont. A big thanks to the developers!
 
memory card emulation (saving seems to be the issue; loading works if you already have a save file) for Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean is broken in 1.131. Compatibility list says it was working as of 1.130, but I don't know if the person tested saving.

Check in your settings, if OSReport and Log is enabled. If so, disable it (This caused some problems with a few games for me). If this doesn't help, try version r125.

OSReport and Log were disabled, so that was not the issue. I know it had memory card emulation issues in the past, and even when it is working, it will always tell you your saved game is corrupted when you try to load it and you have to tell it not to delete the save and then try to load again.
Anyways, I've gone back and tried r125 and the saving is not working there, either. Any other revisions that would be good to check out for changes to memory card emulation?
 
I seriously HATE Playstation controllers...
Worse design I have stumbled upon, and this comes from someone that has played from Atari 2600 onwards.

I am struggling BIG TIME to play some platform games on the NGC because of the weird and odd analog stick response of the controller.ini
The thing is that the analog stick just gets 8-directions, and I know that the sticks are analog because the values change every time I rotate them in the HID test.

Can someone help me out to verify why is this happening?
Mario Sunshine is giving me a pain in the ass because of this 8-directional movement.

Also, I think this is happening for BOTH analog sticks, not just the left one.

Here is my controller.ini:
Code:
[Generic USB Gamepad]
VID=0079
PID=0006
Polltype=1
DPAD=1
DigitalLR=1
A=5,40
B=5,80
X=5,20
Y=5,10
Z=6,02
L=6,04
R=6,08
S=6,20
Power=6,10
Left=5,06
Down=5,04
Right=5,02
Up=5,00
RightUp=5,01
DownRight=5,03
DownLeft=5,05
UpLeft=5,07
StickX=0,0,100
StickY=1,0,100
CStickX=3,0,100
CStickY=4,0,100
RAnalog=0
LAnalog=0
 
just uploaded a new version:
-added 16 missing patches for billy hatcher, now it at least boots, you need to disable memory card emulation though for it to actually get into gameplay
-added avatar and P.N.03 onto the ARStartDMA exception list
-further optimized the emulated dk bongo values to be more precise

thought you should know that it still says v1.131 when you load it up.

Cool ! Thank you :yayu: Can I ask a question? You said "16 missing patches" Would it affect Billy Hatcher only or possibly more games?

from what i tested every game i had that has freezes/not booting problems they are still the same sadly
 
Uhm I have a usb gecko for like what, 3 years now? I dont know why you think I dont have one, how else would I do so much testing? Magic? I dont think so. You should also still know how much I praised it when I got it for wiiflow. Anyways with any donation I would get I wouldnt buy anything to be honest cause I'm quite deep in a minus moneywise irl.
