Hacking Nintendont

[XeCuTioNR]

Correct, it's a hit and miss. I suggest you to get 1:1 clean dumps. both games works fine.

Redumped and worked great without stripping dummy data on FZGX and Skies. Thanks!

ia also depends on what tool your using to compress, DMtools with 32k alligment is the best option, GCISOtool screws manny audiostreaming isos when compressing and so on, it depends on the tool.

So an odd question; if I were to use my a/v capture card, would I get better quality from my silver lunch box, nintendont on Wii, or nintendont on Wii u?

Nintendont on Wii U, as it puts out 480p through HDMI

Nintendont on Wii U, as it puts out 480p through HDMI

Unfortunately, that isn't the case. The video output from vWii through HDMI is sadly much lower quality that the analog video output by a real Wii.

I have a question, I have a real memory card (Nintendo official memory card, "58 blocks") that I used back then with Dios Mios, to play NTSC games with my Pal Wii, and now when I try to run NTSC games on Nintendont with this memory card in Slot A it asks to format the memory card; I tried various NTSC games and all ask for formating because "It's formated for another Market".

The memory card is formated fo NTSC games, and I try to play NTSC games (On a Pal Wii) so...
What is happening? Is there a way to use it with Nintendont?

That doesn't happen when I load Pal Games with another Memory Card with Pal Format, so I'm kind of lost.

For now I'll try to make what the first post says.

ntsc J is diferent from NTSC US.

 

[Maeson]

Everything is NTSC-US, sorry for not saying it.

I'm kind of stuck at the Dolphin part, is normal that when transfering saves from the old RAW to the new RAW made in GCMM, the new one doesn't seem to get the icons of each save file, and it looks empty in the Memory Card Manager?


EDIT: Okay, I solved it doing another thing: copying save file one by one in GCMM, then formatting the memory card with GCMM, and then restoring the save files on the recently formatted Memory Card.

Sorry for the inconveniences.

Wait, seriously? I thought that Nintendont output full 480p HD (or 480i when not progressive)! I do know that they axed a few things about the vWii resolution wise (Virtual Console being fickle particularly), but I thought that at least the system menu and homebrew was intact for the most part

I think (but I'm not an expert) that the problem is that for the Wii, it output a 480p signal and it was up to the TV to scale it to the right size, but the vWii must output a 1080p HDMI signal. That means that the 480p vWii output must be scaled before it's sent out through the HDMI. I think that it uses a VERY bad upscaling algorithm that means it looks really pixely. And on top of that, it must be scaled AGAIN by the TV.

Oh, nuts, that sucks :T Ok, then I suppose the answer would be "Wii, with component cables"

Maybe sometime in the future, a homebrU program can fix that.

 

[VinsCool]

I go for WiiU with hdmi for better picture quality. I saw comparisons with my bare eyes and WiiU 1080P upscales looked the best.

I personally prefer component+regular Wii. Yes, there's a tiny bit of analog noise with component, but my vWii at least has some issues with colors: http://gbatemp.net/threads/vwii-hdmi-color-issue.379602/
and vWii doesn't scale to the entire screen, I have to adjust my TV to stretch the image, which is a bit annoying when switching between different HDMI devices.

 

[Mr. Mysterio]

I don't think it's what Swiftloke wants, but for THE BEST quality Gamecube game video, I'd go with Dolphin set to 4x internal resolution with texture filtering. That makes Gamecube games look almost as good as Wii U games!

So...Nintendont's support for the GBA-Link only applies to older Wii models with the GC controller ports built in, presumably because translating the data transfer via the USB controller adapter is something nobody knows how to do? Sounds like yes but wanted to be sure.

Basically, since I'm on a WiiU I shouldn't be going out springing for a cable any time soon?

No possible on the Wii U and will probably never happen.

 

[the_muteKi]

Definitely a shame but can't say I'm surprised. Presumably nobody's building the GC-USB adapters with the idea of information getting sent back to the controllers aside from maybe rumble

The issue isn't with the adapter, it's that the GBA doesn't send or receive an HID signal, meaning that it would work with any Nintendont-compatible adapter regardless of how said adapter was designed (Nintendont only accepts HID input for USB controllers)

 

[the_muteKi]

So more like "It's possible but it's such a low priority because in the process of coding this we'd probably break compatibility with just about every controller that the program supports".

That's fair.
