Hacking Nintendont

[Kaneco]

Just reporting in to say that the Pokemon Colosseum Nintendo Special (Japanese) Bonus Disc with the free Celebi 'black screens' when choosing the 'Celebi' option in the main menu where all the promotional videos happen to be....this doesn't happen in Dolphin, so I know it's not a bad dump.

The Jirachi NA Colosseum Bonus Disc works just fine, as long as you don't 'trim' the ISO down from what I saw.

i think this fixes the sound issues we had left.

Eh, not quite, Sonic Mega Collection still has the audio delay the first time you run a game, you can get around it by pressing the Z button once after starting the game, not sure if it's worth looking at but nevertheless it should be mentioned in the compatibility list!

Ugh.... I've got flash backs from the game cube broadband adapter loader....

Streaming large files over the network in an environment with any kind of time demand is laughable. Even if your network setup is actually really good, the results you get are going to be about on par with 15 year old disc technology in terms of speed. Even if network latency is measured in microseconds, the bandwidth is still a terrible bottleneck. Even if you make it workable, it's still better to just read off a local storage device.

A nice, cheap flash drive gives super speed by comparison, and most load times (of GCN games, which are at most 1.35 GB in size) zip by in a good, compatible environment.

yes its still a thing and probably will always be, so you have to work around that yourself with your siblings.

Right. Is loading Nintendont from a SD an alternative?

Actually, in an ideal world we could use WiiUs file system format to run our backups etc.
What is it? exFAT? FAT32? a mod of any of those? I'm guessing something similar to ext?

Well, maybe we'll know with the future exploit.
Atm I would settle for partitions. It's still a pain I'll have to buy a 500GB/1TB HDD just for the Wii U knowing I'll never use that much space.

Hmm, cant get the halfway down modifier to work, on the first page it says "L", but thats button already mapped, and ZL doesnt do anything for me.

that means your 3rd party controller says its a normal classic controller, thats the problem. Easiest way to fix this is to just buy a proper classic controller pro or a wiiu pro controller which I can only recommend.

Thanks.
Well that kinda sucks, is there anyway I can verify what you are saying? Then Im going to open a ticket in ebay and ask for a refund. 3. party or not, if they sell me a "classic pro" controller I expect to get that, not an gimped classic controller without analogue triggers and a different shape.

If I'm not mistaken, the Classic Controller Pro doesn't have analog triggers.

Attached is what the Genuine Classic Controller Pro should look like. The L and R should be on top and the zL and zR should be on bottom.

EDIT: Just checked and the Classic Controller Pro DOES NOT have analog triggers. They were removed since they were rarely used and the controller couldn't be used for GameCube Games normally.

I been wondering, now since compatibility is almost perfect, how about adding support to run gcz format? I'm not sure if this would be ideal though as it might cause more issues and crashes, someone with technical understanding can probably answer that, but it would be nice to save more space on the hard drive as I admit to say my GC library is rather big and I usually don't compress isos.

whats gcz? never heard of that.

 

[uyjulian]

zipped iso

 

[FIX94]

zipped iso

zipped? that sounds not doable then, we at max would have like 16mb ram for decompressing which I'm sure is not close to enough since zip needs quite alot of ram.

 

[ShadowOne333]

I think we are just fine with the already supported formats.
Otherwise we will end up asking for .000-.094 compressed file formats. XD

Give the man a break.
I bet whatever plans he has for Nintendont in the future after this will be amazing for sure.

Lol, found an explanation of a GCZ file from another thread (which FIX94 replied to too)
https://gbatemp.net/threads/gcz-fil...ion-without-dolphin-tool.316877/#post-4035354
It is indeed basically a compressed ISO format but generated by Dolphin.

4 years ago, no wonder I have no memory of it, that is like 3 years too much for my memory

 

[Sheimi]

Oh cool, Metroid Prime 1 & 2 has widescreen patch. Now if I can get the randomizer the right seed.

Easy, just call the_randomizer

I know that the classic controller pro doesnt have analog triggers.
That why I said what I said.

btw if you really want to keep your controller you can always just grab the source and change this:
https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont/blob/master/kernel/BT.c#L359
to always detect a classic controller pro.

Dont have much experience compiling Wii homebrew, but I could always try. What build environment do you recommend? (Windows/linux?) (Going to install in a VM instead of cluttering up my main computer)

you just need to use the "devkitpro installer" and use the included "Build" file to compile everything, its simple.
