Hacking Nintendont

[pedro702]

Right. Gonna try it when I get back home!

And about iso files?

I use ISO to WBFS program that transforms isos into wbfs and can even split them if you activate the bigger than 4gb option for fat32.

GX works out of the box with /wbfs/TitleID.wbfs or /wbfs/folder name/TitleID.wbfs

All major loaders have that path support for wii games.. if i remember right they use the same paths as Wii Backup Manager uses to look for Wii games.

Untill now, everything is working fine with this 8gb stick, except the fmv's on Baten Kaitos and FF CC. The rest, 100% fine.
Now I want to test wii games... That's it...

Not sure if you know, but USB 3.0 Flash drives work great and you can get a fast class 10 cheap. I'm using a 256GB USB 3.0 Class 10 and I think I paid about $100 on Amazon for it.

that's not totally true. Wii games don't allow all possible paths.
/wbfs/Folder name/ is not a compatible path format.
the loader need the GameID in the folder name.
/wbfs/Title [ID]/ID.wbfs
or
/wbfs/ID_Title/ID.wbfs
or
/wbfs/ID/ID.wbfs <-- no reason to do that, just do /wbfs/ID.wbfs in that case if you don't want game title.

just use WiiBackupManager to "install" the game on your hard drive and it will automatically create and name the folder correctly. Don't do it manually.


note: for nintendont, you can use /games/Title/ path format.

Wait.. nintendont play wii games??

 

[VinsCool]

No. USB loaders does.

 

[fariasluciano]

No. USB loaders does.

Okay...

 

[Cyan]

wii games go to /wbfs/
gc games go to /games/

if you put all games in the same "games" folder, that's why USBLoaderGX didn't see your wii games.

• GBA-link controller support (Wii only)

This doesn't works for vWii?

How would it?

 

[Jazzist]

How would it?

I'unno, Gamecube Controller Adapter?

 

[ShadowOne333]

I'unno, Gamecube Controller Adapter?

The gamecube controller adapter is not capable of trasmitting that kind of information from vWii to a GBA because it is not a HID device.
It just doesn't work.

 

[TotalInsanity4]

I'unno, Gamecube Controller Adapter?

The GameBoy Advance doesn't put out an HID signal, unfortunately, so it's so far the only GameCube native controller that is 100% incompatible with the Wii U controller adapter :T

Well, just did it.
Put the game fragile dreams via wii backup manager into my usb, so is usb/wbfs/fragile dreams Gameid/gameid.wbfs
Wiiflow ( the only that mounts my usb ) can recognize the game, even downloaded the cover for it. I can enter on options before launching the game. I do it, and wiiflow takes me back to system menu...

What I'm doing wrong this time?

Is there any way to get the GBA Link cable working on either the vWii or Wii? I can't use discs on my Wii as my Wii can't really read discs. (Replacing it is not an option, since it was something else that died inside the Wii, not the lens)

In both instances, "gameid" should be the six character id code for the Wii game. The one in the folder name should be in brackets [gameid6] <- like those

So it won't even read from USB? Is the disk drive hooked up?

It reads from USB. Won't take physical discs.

 

[TotalInsanity4]

It reads from USB. Won't take discs.

So why not run the GameCube games off of USB?

You can use the GBA Link cable in an original Wii by enabling the Native COntroller option.
That way, your Real Memory Card and the real GC ports will be used instead of BT/HID controllers.
You can use the GBA cable just fine that way, but only on a Wii and not on vWii.

PS: You can still use your USB in your Wii too.
