Hacking Nintendont

[steviebwoy]

You're spelling it wrong, that's why It's IOS 58, not ISO 58. Try that instead and you should come up with some tutorials

haha, cheers! I wondered whether I was getting confused with Apple for a moment, so thought "it must be ISO rather than IOS"

 

[steviebwoy]

If you already have IOS58, you don't need to install it over your existing one.
Just run Hackmii installer and re-install The Homebrew Channel, it will use IOS58.

If your current IOS58 is patched (pimpmywii?) use this homebrew to install a proper version:
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/IOS58_Installer

I don't know/remember if that version is now working with nintendont, but at least you will have a good IOS to install HBC.

edit:
if this version still doesn't work with nintendont, you will have to use NUSD to download latest version, pack it to wad and install it to your console.

I'm currently using IOS61 v21.29, so I'm trying to work out whether this could be what is causing the "Failed to load kernel from NAND!" error I'm suffering from. I guess I just need to know how to replace ISO61 with ISO58, can I just use the installer you linked to? (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/IOS58_Installer)

simple, install the homebrew channel before installing IOS58 will do it, IOS58 is a relative new IOS that was introduced with FW 4.3.

The Homebrew Channel used to be installed with IOS61 prior to IO58, when FW 4.3 was introduced a new homebrew channel installer was released to support use IOS58.

I've no idea to be honest! Everything else seems to work perfectly apart from Nintendont. I've not got Wiiflow installed either - does this grant me any additional benefits?

For Apple it's iOS not IOS.

Thanks wozniack!

 

[steviebwoy]

Woohoo, I've finally got this to work! In case anyone else ever has the "Failed to load kernel from NAND!" error message when starting Nintendont, try upgrading your IOS to IOS58. I was on IOS61 before and that's what caused the problem.

MASSIVE thanks to everyone for helping me!

Is it possible to install Nintendont to my Wii homescreen, rather than running it via the HBC every time? Just a small thing really, I'll be happy either way

Thanks again guys, I really do appreciate your help!

Depends. Do you want to use a forwarder channel, or through a USB loader?

 

[steviebwoy]

Oh gosh, sorry mate, I don't really know what you mean? What's the difference between the two options?

I guess I just want a little box on my Home screen so that I just click that and it goes directly to Nintendont.. sorry for being a bit n00b! !

Nice one, thanks Pedro. I'm not aware of all these fancy terms ("forwarder") - I've been away from the scene for quite a while! !

Thanks again guys, you've got a great community here!

When using Nintendont, my Wiimote stays on after starting the GCN game and has all four blue LEDs lit. It stays on the entire time I'm playing and wastes a lot of battery power. Is there a way to disable this or is there another version of Nintendont that shuts the Wiimote off when not in use? If I accidentally hit a button on a second Wiimote the same thing happens, all four LEDs come on and the controller stays on.

It will shut off after 20 seconds.

What version of Nintendont are you using?

Couldn't get this to install yesterday, I have the boot.dol but can't find the loader.dol on the first page post? Do I have to get this from somewhere else?

the fowarder is a wad file like the e shop titles you need to install the wad with wad manager or something.

Yeah that's what I tried, but it wouldn't install - the install instructions on the first page say the following, but I can't find the loader.dol in the Zip file:
The forwarder looks for: apps/nintendont/boot.dol and apps/nintendont/Loader.dol
