Hacking Nintendont

[BARKSTAR]

FIX94,

Superb effort with Nintendont. I can't believe how quickly you are chipping away at each game, the software is becoming very stable and myself and others really appreciate all the the effort!

Thanks!

not yet. We don't know if it is even possible.

maybe creating a multi-directory function to two different folders, not sure how compliced it would be to perform that though, but thank you, hope someone tries eventually

I am having a problem with my Gamecube controller on a couple GC games (I'm on the Wii). Most work perfectly, no issues whatsoever. But two titles are causing my stick to drift upwards while I play.

It's not a calibration issue as far as I can tell (tried it) and my controller/Nintendont work flawlessly with the rest of my games. The titles in question are Killer 7 and Chibi-Robo. I also tried two different ISO files which should have been clean rips.

Anybody have any ideas?

Are the games compressed? Someone was having problems with SSBM and the adapter because it was compressed.

Just regular ISO files. Also I'm not using any sort of adapter, I'm on a regular old backwards compatible Wii.

An old Wii with gamecube ports? Try turning on Native Controls in the settings

I'm not seeing this anywhere

It's the very last option on the settings list

Not on mine it seems. I went to settings from both Nintendont itself and USB Loader GX where I load my games. My Nintendont version is 2.167 if that makes any difference.

Your Nintendont version is about 2 months old. Nintendont get a new update about every day

His usb loader may be deleting his nincfg after every game boot.

I think this is what might be causing Nintendont's settings to be reset to default when loading through CFGusbLoader and USBLoaderGX...

but if it was deleting that file, why does nintendont's settings show as if they were saved when booting Nintendont directly from the HBC. Is there any way to fix this?

I ask because This is a real pain to deal with every time I boot a game through my Loader of choice I remember that it resets all the settings as I try to load my virtual save, then i have to reboot the Loader, load the game, cancel autoboot and turn on my custom settings, with each boot...

There's an option in USB Loader GX "features" menu to "Update Nintendont." This safe to use? (I ask because you never know with this stuff.)

cyan is the main dev of usb loader gx and hes also a dev for Nintendont. Not to mention hes a global moderator here. It's safe to say gx is 100% safe for any download it does

You need to set your settings the way you want them in your loader of choice.

USBLoaderGX deletes nincfg.bin from both SD and USB before launching nintendont, because users requested it (they incorrectly thought it was what made nintendont crash, but whatever I did it to please everyone)
If you use an old version of nintendont or if you don't use autoboot, it re-creates the nincfg.bin in both loader partition+game partition.
if you use a autoboot and the new nintendont versions with arguments support, it doesn't create the nincfg.bin file at all and every settings are passed by arguments in memory at nintendont launch.

If users need an option to always write/keep the nincfg.bin to launch nintendont from HBC with the same settings than the previous launch from USBGX, I can add it.

this would be a great feature, could it also be added to maybe CFGusbLoaderv70r79?

Hmm... it turns out that doing so in USBLoaderGX does work! but CFGusbLoader has no Memory Card Emulation option, only one labeled "NMM" (for NoNoreMemory).

Okay while messing around I turned on "NMM" just to test it, and it seems to have the SAME effect as enabling Memory Card Emulation in USBLoader GX! WOW! I wonder how that works?! lol

No More Memory option label is used for Nintendont MemoryCard emulation. it both case it means "save to SD/USB", he probably re-used the existing text string instead of creating a news one.
In Wiiflow, I think it's also named NMM (which was already there for DIOSMIOS settings).

I also used some existing DM settings for Nintendont (video mode, wide screen and progressive patch option are shared)
