Hacking Nintendont

[oji]

Thanks a lot, FIX94. I've just tested some of my GC games from the UStealthed HDD & all they are work perfectly - a GC Adapter plus a Wavebird gamepad & a Classic Controller are using analog triggers in the Super Mario Sunshine do what they supposed to.

I've also the bug report - if I connect my recently bought USB stick formatted for a Wii U demands so the Nintendont r248 is falling into an exception on autoboot. Here is a dump info if it's helps in any way.

Holy Mary, i was offline for some days and i now read that Starfox Adventures subs are fixed, Virtua Striker 4 is fixed, MKGP2 is fixed (AND whats more, with that asshat announcer muted!), Smugglers Run boots?
WOW, just wow...

Wait, Virtua Striker 4 is fixed? I wasn't aware of that O.o

Anyway I asked this a few pages ago but I think it was lost or something, does regular Phantasy Star Online work or is it only the Plus version?

i get error "BOOT/FIRM VERSION DOES NOT FULFILL THE GAME SPEC" in virtua striker 4 using the latest version of Nintendont,so its not fully working.

To the coders/developers: How difficult and/or time-consuming would it be to integrate the Gamecube bios into Nintendon-t? Simply as an aesthetic, nostalgic deal. As I'm typing this, I wonder how you'd make the bios functional for selecting games. Regardless.

Just something that crossed my mind. Everything works great, btw. I've made my donations and am very happy with the project as it stands right now.

Don't count on it, if they can't use Nintendo's logo it's highly unlikely they'll be able to use the original bios, but the good news is Abdullah sent me a costume banner for the original GC bios and I use it with USBLGX for Gamecube.

Since that's copywrited by Nintendo, there is no legal way they can use it.

Maybe devs can code nintedont in a way it can use the bios, but it is up to the users to "rip" their own gamecube bios, place it on nintendont folder
and voila... Nintedont will read it and load the intro that other users are requesting....

Similar to some psx emulators... see this: http://problemkaputt.de/psx.htm

Hi,
I've had some issues playing Super Smash Bros. Melee yesterday with the Wii U GC Adapters on vWii.
Inputs from Controller Ports 2 to 4 weren't working 100%, it wasn't interpreting the analog L/R buttons as it should, and it felt that the input delay was variable for all buttons. Port 1 on the other hand worked flawlessly.

Is this a known issue or it is just me that experienced this?
I think it has something to do with r247 fix the bongos, but I'll test later with an older revision.

Nintendont was never meant to be more than a simple loader. As it is many of the devs were angry with JoostinOnline for adding an image to the loader background.

I know that. It was just a suggestion. I dont even know if it is possible... For me Abadallah custom mods are ok... But this gamecube intro question always comes up.....

 

[OriginalHamster]

Is the Gamecube original boot up in the *.iso or is part of hardware bios?

are you using the Japanese or American version, also is the ISO shrinked or is it full?

Full NTSC-U v1.2

did you had both cables connected? since it could be becuase of the lack of power.

try using v236 and see if the same thing happens

Edit: i just tested smash on v248 and i didnt have any issues on controller ports 2 to 4. I would recommend you also try using a different ISO. It could very be that you are using a bad dump and its causing trouble.

I hope someone finds my experimenting helpful, I have a NTFS hard drive that I wanted to play GC games on. So I downloaded easeUS and converted 150GB to fat32 and made it primary, and converted the remaining 1.6tb to logical.

So now I have around 1.6 tb of NTFS for Wii games/other stuff, and 150GB fat32 for GC games. The result? Everything works flawlessly.

This is the same setup I have

I don't get why people keep a ntfs partition.

I don't get why people keep a ntfs partition.

Because, reasons. FAT32 is the most compatible and stable FS for Nintendont and pretty much every other Wii/Wii U homebrew app. It's not like Gamecube ISOs exceed the 4 GB FAT32 limitation.
