Hacking Nintendont

[pedro702]

Aha, it must be a problem with the Timesplitters Future Perfect ISO I've been using I think - it was under 1GB, but the one I should be using is apparently 1.45GB.
Presumably I should get another one and shrink it?

no...
if you are on mac or some other OS that reads size diferently its 1.45gb, on windowns its 1.35gb if its 1.45gb on mac and friends its a full iso.

Wicked, thanks. Can I use a GCM file with Nintendont?

Yep, just make sure you rename the extention from gcm to iso

What Etheboss said. Also to avoid confusion, just know that .gcm, .gcn, and .gcz files are all ISO files with renamed extensions

mystery solved!
looks like the bios lag is a combination of "more patches" plus "big mc size" 321+ will lag with mc size equal or more than 4 mb while 320- will always work fine.

so ppl with lag should be the ones using multi save mc with size larger than 4 mb
thanks pedro

In case anyone is wondering ....
Memory Card 1019 = 8 MiB
Memory Card 251 = 2 MiB
Memory Card 59 = 512 KiB

Okay, new issue.

In Melee, after a span of time the game makes crackly noises in between menus for a moment until when selecting a stage the game freezes. Any ideas...?

that isnt a new issue melee makes beep noises when acessing memory card emulation, and ssbm does that all the time.

Didn't FIX94 say that the beeping was actually caused by some sound chip that Melee had?

Somehow I suspected that when Pedro mentioned the settings but then i forgot to test it when I did this, I honestly don't plan to switch to individual just for this, I think I'll stick with r320 instead, thank you!

Hi fellow Nintendonts,

I've been using 251 mc cards (2mb) I guess that explains why I haven't experienced any BIOS lag. Using all my GameCube games out of a 32gb SD card (just for reference).

Warm regards

 

[pedro702]

yeah i always said it was a nintendont setting, i always go for 251 individual mc cards and i see no reason to never give up on individuality, i dont want a random corruption to destoy all my saves

 

[steviebwoy]

Doh. I can't get Wind Waker to work at the mo. Nintendont freezes at Init CARD. I have v3.325 and IOS58. Maybe a bad ISO?

I always use individual 59 blocks.

Check it on redump.org. If it doesn't match re-rip it with CleanRip and make sure it matches. You might also try renaming or removing any existing saves and see if it boots.

Then why does my game freeze

Why does Melee freeze for me :/

Because your iso is corrupted or your drive is too slow to play that game
