Hacking Nintendont

[quepaso]

it seems your using shrunken isos correct? and not to meantion you probably have settings on the options turned on that arent game friendly like force widescreen.

from your report im gussing you got robocop and natuto badly shrunked and on butt ugly martians you need to set video to auto.

No shrunk iso's, redump checked, no options set at all other then auto boot and bluetooth controller, using hori battle pad. So wrong on basically everything you guessed.

when narutoo freezes when pressing start its always due to bad compressed iso i know that.

So you dont have widescreen, mcemu or videomodes forced?

no. all auto.

 

[pedro702]

no. all auto.

so you dont use mcemu? you use real Memory card?

also you are on nintendont 329 right?

Im on 329, no real memory card (i have gc wii but no memory cards anymore), using default MC Emu setting. I've tried 400+ other gc games with these exact settings, every one works fine.

I'll check the CRC again later in case there is some corruption.

from what i tryed

robocop works perfectly used both hid controllers and wiiupro BT controller i didnt noticed any issue with the controls at all.

butt ugly martians donest boot you were correct it booted before so i dont know what changed for that game.

i havent been able to find a naruto 3 iso that matches redump yet.

so i got naruto from a known paradisic *cough* website(md5 didnt matched redump) and it frooze when i pressed start, nintendont osreport said the iso wasnt 32k alligned and audiostreaming games need the perfect 32k alligment so yeah are you sure you dont have this iso?

used dmtoolbox to alling this iso and i could press start but since the iso was bad in the first place the audiostreaming got garbled wich proves the issue is due to having an iso that isnt 32k alligned thats doesnt match redump.

 

[Hotabych]

I need help - Im on last nintenodont 329, Wii, wiimote+nunchuk and if I start games from CFG(Wiiflow and etc) loader and then exit GC game with home - the wii stucks and only hard reset help me, is there any solution?

 

[jameythepoet]

Could I please get someone to post their nincfg.bin file, from a working cfg loader/ nintendont usb drive only set up. All games are working. But, my cfg file is constantly corrupted it seems. No Sd card inserted, still fighting with getting autoboot on.
any help... greatly appreciated

 

[FIX94]

eh, one small thing for a game nobody cares about anyways:
-skipping __GXSetVAT patch for "butt ugly martians zoom or doom" so it doesnt blackscreen

Hey Pedro, let me ask you something.
Out of curiosity.. do ALL GCN games (1:1 copies that is) are "alligned" to 32k sectors by default?

Well audiostreaming games need to be or else the stream cant be readed, of course noone audiostreaming games dont need to be alligned so i dont know if all games are alligned by default but audiostreaming games need to be its mandatory for the GC to read the stream.

Does anyone have the PowerA Mini Pro Elite Wireless Controller working? Or does it not work?

It works in the Nintendont menu, but when loading a gamecube game it syncs to P4, then to P1, and the controls do nothing. Anyone had luck?

Tap the power button to cycle through to player one.

Otherwise it's not going to work. Some third party bluetooth controllers work and some don't

Your suggestion worked (kinda lol). I'll leave this for future reference.

Start game as P1 in Nintendont with PowerA Mini Pro Elite Wireless, and Wiimote+Nunchuk on P2. Wiimote should resync to P1, Power A to P2. Turn off Power A, switch wiimote to P2, Turn Power A on, it should sync to P1-> Use Power A Controller to play your game.

Working for me doing that.

The controller is not officially supported. You got lucky and found one bluetooth controller that works.

That's kinda why I left the note... In case someone else has one...

Yes. All files are supposed to be 32K aligned and be in multiples of 32K if I remember correctly.

 

[VinsCool]

Yes. All files are supposed to be 32K aligned and be in multiples of 32K if I remember correctly.

Does that mean that 1:1 isos aren't 32k alligned by default? Could this lead to issues?

As far as I remember they are. Nintendo still treats games like ROMs (or did) so everything is in banks and blocks. The discs are CAV so most likely the innermost tracks are 32K so all the rest of them are multiples of that.

Alignment is one of the reason game engines often use packed asset fines so a bunch of small files don't waste ROM/optical disc space.
