Hi y'all. I'm using nintendont on my Wii. One of my controllers has an R button without a spring (no analog input), and unfortunately nintendont reads this as constantly pressing the R button (Dios mios reads the input correctly and just disregards the analog input, but not the digital input). Is there anyway to fix this?

I figured it out. Enable "native controller support" in the game settings.

If your using a normal gamecube controller with the gamecube ports then you shouldn't be having any issues with analog triggers

all native controls does is use the actual gamecube ports instead of emulating them

Yeah, you can and its way better. Backup your games. Format you drive using windows format tool. Use fat32 with 32kb cluster. Put your games back onto your drive.
Gamecubes games inside the folder Called "GAMES\GAMENAME\game.iso"
Your wii games inside the folder called "WBFS\GAMENAME\game.wbfs"

Thanks. Formatted $14 64gb usb as fat32 using EaseUs Partition Manager. Using Wii Backup Manager to split my wii isos if they are larger than 4gb. Most are surprisingly below 4gb, even the newest zelda game. Wow, life is good without being restricted to ntfs.

To enable the Wii U GC adapter without needing to launch Smash Bros first, just send a single 0x13 byte down the adapter's out endpoint and read a full in payload. Also you can incorporate rumble with this too.

Sorry for going off-topic, but could you somehow implement nintendont HID support into Retroarch?

It would be awesome, because that way you could use arcade sticks and retro pads without destroying controllers. I mean, I had to sacrifice a perfectly good GC controller PCB to build my arcade stick, but now it's limited to Gamecube ports.

The Wii not only has Retroarch, but also some of the best arcade conversions ever and a wide array of light-gun games, so it will effectively become the perfect system to build a cheap arcade system around it.

And the WiiU will also benefit from it.

I've been skimming trough the source and it seems that you already implemented libsickaxis for PS3 controller support, but I don't know if that's enough to use other HID compatible controllers.

All in all, thank you for your efforts as always. Retroarch, Wi-Fi Connection, controller implementations... just... thanks.

Wow, great news about the Wii U Gamecube controller adapter support! :lol: I'm really looking at this.

Does this mean we may have support for Gamecube peripherals (DK Bongos, microphone) on Wii U in the future?

What's the benefit to using it in fat32? Is it required for Gamecube games on a USB?

I wouldn't be surprised; these people have worked some miracles in nintendont.

Sorry to burst your bubble but, the microphone connected through the memory card port.

From all of my testing of revisions 214-226 HID and USB loading have issues where the same tests using SD and HID run fine, even with the GC adapter. I tested each revision multiple times to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I could only get USB and HID to work on r215, r216, r218 and r222. Even still only my USB 2.0 device worked, USB 3.0 gave me the Checking FS issue. All other revisions gave me issues.

I have noticed that with games that present the Progressive Yes/No dialog, the dialog seems to only appear when McEmu is turned on. When I have it off, the dialog is not displayed. Forced Widescreen and Progressive are off.

In case anyone wanted some sort of second opinion, I also got the GC adapter to work on r222 with a USB Hard Drive in the back (powered externally), except the Y-axis for both sticks is inverted. Tried it with Forced Widescreen and progressive off, with just Widescreen on, with just Progressive on, and with both on, and they all worked (used Sunshine as a test for all of them, and had McEmu on every time). May be a bit overkill. but I just wanted to be thorough.

Edit: Tried with McEmu off and got no progressive message for the actual game when it started up as well.

Edit2: Something interesting I also found is that I can still plug both GC adapter USB cords (black and grey) into a USB hub (like one used for a computer), and plug that into the back bottom USB port and the controller still works (on r222 anyway). I was playing with the rumble settings in Sunshine, and I think I felt a (very) slight rumble when I turned the setting for it on, so maybe there's still hope for rumble after all (I could just be crazy about the rumbling, but I'm almost sure I felt at least something)?

WAIT! What?! Somebody hit me up when this solution has been implemented in Nintendont!

Right now the sixaxis support is incomplete and does not work. I might go and try generic USB HID support in the future, especially now that the Wii U GC adapter uses it.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore

    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
