Hacking Nintendont

[ccfman2004]

Sure,

the Version is v3.330 (Wii U)
Built Apr 20 2015 23:10:11
Firmware: 58.25.32

I have the gamecube controller in the slot on the far left when looking at it from the top.

Why don't you use the option inside Nintendont to download the controller ini files. Should work without it but you never know.

Out of curiosity is you Gamecube adapter an Official Nintendo one or a 3rd party. Shouldn't make a difference but you never know.

I did this originally upon first install. I ran the update for the controllers.ini zip again as you suggested and restarted nintendont. Upon restart it still doesn't work.

I am using an official Nintendo adapter. It is brand new. (I just received it yesterday)

Which USB plug are you using or are you using both?

I have the black cable plugged into the left usb port and the grey in the right on the front of the console (seen from the top)

Most 3rd party Wii U Pro controllers don't work properly with Nintendont and they most likely never will.

Nah its good, its just the normal wii u pro controller configuration, and the controller i have, has the buttons on different positions. So my question is rather, if i can configure wii u pro controller settings somehow ?

All you can do is press the "minus" button to shift the button layout either counter-clockwise or reverse it. Bluetooth controllers can't be changed without modifying the source code and recompiling it. A lot of use wish there was a controller config menu for Bluetooth controllers but no dev seems interested in doing one so oh well.

Pressing "-/select" on Bluetooth controllers makes the button configuration rotate once clockwise, pressing it again makes it rotate back

Is Maxpads set to 1? If it is you'll have to set it to at least 2 for a two player game (I just leave it on 4)

yes! tinkering with the settings fixed both my issues! It makes me wonder why they aren't default options though.

By the way, another thing I've been wondering about:

Since Nintendont doesnt support the gba link cable and doesn't have support for online capabilities of some games, is it possible to use Nintendont and Devolution side by side on the Wii? Using Nintendont for regular games and Devolution for games like Four Swords Adventure, Phantasy Star Online, Pac-Man vs. etc.?

Nintendont normally defaults to 4 when you use it for the first time launching it from the HBC. Launching it from another loader is another story.

Yes, you can if you're using a loader. Put each app in its correct place on your USB/SD card and set Nintendont as the default GameCube loader in your USB loader. Then in individual game settings of the games you want to use Devolution's features for, set the loader as Devolution

Alright! I'll head to the Devolution thread for the best strategy to make it work (Finding/burning lots of DVDs for 1 use seems wasteful).

Since Nintendont doesnt support the gba link cable

its usable with native controls enabled in the settings, that'll basically make only gc controllers work, just like it works normally on a gamecube.

Nintendont has partial support for the GBA link cable BUT you must use the Native Controls On setting and you must use a GameCube controller as bluetooth and HID will be disabled. This is only for Wii's with GameCube ports. Also return to loader is disabled. This does not work using the USB GameCube Controller adapter or on Wii's with no GameCube ports or the Wii U.

Dangit. Ninja'd by the master.

gbalink cable does work btw, but only for the wii

edit: hmm double ninja, i should hve cheked first for new posts

I think the reason people say gba-link doesn't work is because it says that on the google code page.

you do know devolution only works with official discs right? burned stuff wont work, devolution has an anti-piracy check so if you dont use an official gc disc on a wii you cant regist it to play it.

Haha, happy to debunk that myth, huh guys?

I remember digging around for a better alternative to GCOS back in 2011, DM, Devolution and Nintendont were in kids shoes back then.. not to mention that there wasn't all that much activity on the forums on this topic. I'm glad people kept developing now that I've revisited.

I kinda feel like I should contribute to this stuff since it's helped me out so much!

Ouch! That complicates things if I ever wanna try the custom PSO server... I do know someone who I remember had a PSO disc, maybe I should ring him up

Nintendont wasn't in development until 2013

But Nintendont has the best compatibility of the three

Considering it could barely play Windwaker (Which I still have yet to play on my Wii U) and it was played with a PS3 controller to boot.

Just imagine how tiny its shoes would be in 2011!
