Hacking Nintendont

[TotalInsanity4]

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.

Nope, that's controlled by memory card emulation, as long as that is on saves will still load from the device the games are on

Everything else is correct though

Really?
I thought Native enabled the memory card slots too instead of the MCEmu. O.o

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

wii backup manager made it. That's how it is...

Thank you both for replying so quick!

That's awesome to hear, but...

Nintendont works great on my vWii, but it pops up an error regarding the NAND on my Wii. "Failed to load kernel NAND"

Native Controls is for Real Gamecube Controllers only. It has nothing to do with Memory Cards.

Metroid prime widescreen patch works beautifully!

Here, stick this in in place of "gameid": R2GP99
Remember that the one in the name of the folder needs brackets around it.

Wut?!
O.O

I never saw that error before!
Try doing a fresh install once again and only run NIntendont from the Homebrew, not from any USB Loader.

Thanks for the correction.
I haven't used my original Wii in years since I changed my main gaming machine to the Wii U.

Same error. Which Nintendont should I put in my apps folder? I know there are several versions, not sure which is the last one right now.

Nintendont v3.336 is the last one that I know of.
Be sure that you also put the xml and the png files in the same folder.

I still don't get why Nintendont says it can't load the NAND>
I'd be worried. XD

Have you modified your NAND in any way?
Do you have any issues running Nintendont in vWii?

Didn't work. :[

It works on vWii. That's what I use to play GC on the Wii U.

Well, I did load a NAND Backup from before the Wii to Wii U transfer.

The Wii itself is highly modded: It has bootmii, priiloader, plenty cIOS(s), DIOS MIOS (Which isn't taking GC controllers either; Game loads fine though. Seems the fix to this is to load a GC game through the official launcher, but I have no lens to try it, w/e). Can't recall what else.

Is there any way to just factory reset it? I wouldn't mind doing that if it'd help.

The gameid is different.
Mine:

USB/wbfs/FRAGILE DREAMS [R2GEXJ]/R2GEXJ.wbfs

Gonna try your id.

EDIT: Same thing...

The NAND backup after the System Transfer should NOT be an issue.
I did the same thing when I trasferred my Wii-Wii U, restored my Wii's NAND and Nintendont worked fine on it last time I tried.
cIOS should not be an issue neither, as the Gamecube games work on MIOS and not CIOS. CIOS is strictly for Wii games and other stuff.

Since you have DIOS MIOS, I bet maybe you have the modified cMIOS that is used for DIOS MIOS running in your Wii, which might be why you are getting a NAND problem.
Try installing a clean WAD for the RVL-MIOS v10 and try again, perhaps that's the issue.

Clean WAD for the RVL-MIOS v10? Where'd I get that? Not sure what it means. You mean the one this guy has here? https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-play-ngc-backups-on-the-wii.293854/

Well you said you have DIOS MIOS in your Wii and that you can run games through it, which means that you installed a custom version of MIOS (cMIOS).
When you install cMIOS in your Wii, you can't play GC games through the Disc Channel, meaning you cannot use GC discs anymore until you restore the original MIOS that the Wii had.

By what I can see in that thread, the MediaFire file DOES include the RVL MIOS v10.
Download that WAD file and install it with whatever WAD installer you have in your Wii.
After that, try booting Nintendont again and let me know what happens.

Judging by the guide, the guy is telling people to install that .wad, so I just downloaded it myself from NUSDownloader.

Still the same NAND error when booting the new Nintendont version.

Yep the NUS WAD should be the legit one.
Although I don't know why you keep getting the NAND error. :/

Never happened before nor knew of someone who had that issue.
Wish I could be of more help, but I can't tell what else could be the problem.

What about BootMii/Priiloader?
Do you have some hard-hacks enabled in Priiloader or something similar?

If not then maybe a System Format might do, but I can't recall if the Wii had such option or not.
It's been more than 2 years since I last used my Wii. D:

I'd assume updating to 4.3U would restore it from hacks? If so, which method would I use to install HBC? I had been using the Brawl Stage Builder all this time, but I know I used a method through the Wii Channel that also worked seldom times.

Some of them but not all.
What version are you currently on?

Going up to 4.3U and installing the hack again should not be difficult, Smash Stack might be sufficient to reinstall Homebrew Channel once again.
