Hacking Nintendont

[MrTea]

I updated from 301 to 302 and although everything is working great the boot time when you first load the dol seems to have increased by about 15 seconds (on vwii using 32gb sdhc card)?

Because Nintendont is now booting the kernel before you pick your game

Hey fellow nerds. Been ages since i was on here. Just need to know... is the game 007 Agent Under Fire on the list of games that still need fixing because everytime i finish the second stage the screen goes black with sort of mild-green fuzzy lines? Not sure if it's the game or my usb drive.

compare your hashes on redump.org

I don't know what that means.

I don't know what that means.

It's how to tell if your iso is corrupt/compressed

That reminds me. I still have issues with this game.
PAL Machine
PAL Rip
No other settings than single 59block mem card emulation and using save from original memory card.
Sound is present, video not there up until press start screen. Is cut off at the bottom but not a game breaker. (Can provide picture if necassary). I can load the first mission and plays okay but when I try to load the mission "Dangerous Pursuit" Video disappears again....

I don't know what that means.

Look up the game on redump.org, and find the MD5 hash that page. Then download a program that you can use to find the MD5 hash of a file (just look up MD5 checker and you'll find something for sure)

 

[ilikegoldengrahams]

Mine matches up fine.

Everything you said was spot on, I have a PAL Wii U and a PAL copy. I have no minor sound or video issues - it works perfectly up until i finish Precious Cargo and then that black fuzzy screen comes up after the video at the end of that stage. I can't even get to Dangerous Pursuit.

The video disappearing during cutscenes is a known issue (not gamebreaking though)

Lines appearing is a known compression issue with many games

Feel free to try with a different region and post results

What's this thing meant to be?

 

[ilikegoldengrahams]

Might be me, I didn't know what it means until I posted a few issue here.
From what I understand every disk that contains data has a particular set of characters relating to that data. If there is anything wrong with a rip of the disk, those characters will be wrong and can be compared to verified dump information from redump.org. I know there is a lot more to it than than but that seems to be the gist. Correct me if I'm wrong though poeple.

What about changing the major revision number to 3 instead of 2?
I think the MAJOR USB/HDD overhaul deserves it

 

[the_randomizer]

Please oh please try your HDD out now the_randomizer, there has never been a better time. Your testing input is invaluable we need u!!

I'll test it when I get back home, at my parent's house right now

 

[pedro702]

this second mission bugs arent you guys using force progressive? becuase it sure seems like a force progressive or force pal60 bug.

 

[FIX94]

Basic rule: Never use an umlaut.

check out r303:
-updated the nintendont kernel to support all the characters in the filenames that the loader supports, this way you cant get sudden error messages about nonexistant files anymore

I wanted todo that after finishing my next idea, supporting usb controllers directly starting from the loader and making them hotswappable so you dont need to always have hid enabled, similar to how bluetooth is.

That would be great!! Nintendont 3.0 hype!
