Hacking Nintendont

[FIX94]

new version, found more stuff:
-added a security check for the EXIDMA callback value, this fixes billy hatcher memcard emulation waiting forever because of a wrong value
-did some small memcard emu patch cleanup
-added memcard patch for the japanese version of pokemon colosseum

sonictopfan I guess now you can enjoy billy hatcher the way it is meant to be...

Thanks fix94 once again!

Thank you fix94 ! your work is always appreciated.

OK, then I would like to ask kindly to take a look at the Lord of the Rings games (Two Towers, Return of the King and Third Age). All of them have speed up gameplay. Return of the King and Third Age have also speed up cutscenes. In Two Towers the cutscenes are OK. Take your time for those, it's not urgent. But nonetheless I would love to have those working one day.

that issue is well known and I've looked at it multiple times and so far I did not find the ingame timer which does that.

OK, seems to be a tougher one then. Anyway, thanks for our great work!

Holey crap fix94 I need a in console way to update to the newest loader.dol it's becoming a pain to attach my HDD every time a new version pops up.

Not really a complain but an in app updater would be super.

Has anybody tested PSO 1&2? I can't test it right now and I'd like to know if the black screen is due to a memory card check ... if nobody tested it, I'll test it tomorrow and report (even if my hopes are not so high )
Once again, great job FIX94

It's missing patches that it needs to work (the log reports that it failed to apply some, if I remember correctly), so currently it doesn't work in any version of Ndont.

I have a way to update it from within Wiiflow, provided the loader could be named boot.dol, instead of loader.dol. As it is now, it downloads to the correct place, but I always have to rename it.

EDIT: So can anyone yet tell me if the changes that enable support for GBA link cable, etc. will be added to future builds with an option to toggle between, or somehow combined with bluetooth support, or if Fix94 is waiting for someone else to do it?

EDIT 2: FIX94 is there anything that cam be done about BMX XXX's "pickiness" in only working with certain wiis? I tried a friend's SD card, HDD and Wii, and it boots and plays. But when I hook his HDD and SD up to my Wii, it blackscreens. BTW, I'm not sure how it was before, but in game music plays at 2X speed using 2.170.

Nintendont 2.169 and 2.170:

- My Wii shuts down just after loading Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon xD and Pokemon Channel (all of them PAL version).

- Tried using real Memory Cards (grey 59 blocks and black 251 blocks, both official), but after any game is loaded it says "Memory Card is damaged and cannot be used", not given the option to format them. Both Memory Cards work great with retail discs, Dios Mios and Devolution.

Most people uses loaders anyways, and i think nintendont was thought to work like that, hence the simplicity of the ui and the quick integration of autoboot features. So adding an updater isn't really top priority imo, you can always use loadergx to update it.

And cfg has a nintendont updater as well, i think. Not sure if it was updated to the new repo.

Wait, there's already a way to update from Wiiflow?

I added that after reading your post, since you said you update it from within wiiflow. Asumming drakorex and Drak0rex are the same person lol.

 

[Drak0rex]

Not from Wiiflow itself, but a downloader plugin. It isn't public because no one seems interested in it.

I've edited my post, i'm sure at some point they could add an updater to the loader itself, just like cyan did with loadergx.

I'd still love a basic homebrew app that updated to the latest Nintendont. I'm sure it would be very easy quick work for someone who know what they're doing with making homebrew apps, and it would be much appreciated by me and some others by the looks of it.

if you would read the previous posts most of the loaders support updating, i use usb loader gx and it supports updating and also having multiple versions to use for dif games that have better support on one version but not the latest

Even if you did use a loader that updates don't you still have to delete your nintendont config.bin file on a PC to make sure there are no issues?

Just tried Big Air Freestyle. The colors seem right, but it freezes with a loud BEEEEEEP when you try to enter a race. Confirm?

iv never had any issues without connecting to a pc, i dont think if connected mine to a pc in a while, most the time i just update via usb loader gx and use wiiflow for ftp to send a game to it if i want to
