Hacking Nintendont

[pedro702]

oh, phew, got woried for a moment. I'll buy another cable/case tomorrow then. Thanks for all the help.

is your hdd self powered or usb powered? if so the usb cables are preety easy to find if its self powered then that is another story.

 

[RFVasco]

Don't know what's a self powered hdd, but even so I'm almost sure mine is usb powered

Don't know what's a self powered hdd, but even so I'm almost sure mine is usb powered

self powered means it has its own power cord to connect to the wall/outlet, the wiiu hdds either require a y cable or a self powered one becuase wiiu usb power is crap nintendo made an error on the voltage output from usb doors on wiiu thats why i have a selfpowered hdd becuase wiiu and i prefer self powered to y cable , but on a wii you dont have any problems with the power from a single usb door.

Oh, got it. Then mine's usb powered for sure. Glad to know it's easier. haha (:

Alright, thank you for the information. I will update the lists accordingly.

Hmm... Is there a feasible alternative then?

It appears that Swiss' widescreen patches has non-stretched sprites and text.

Speaking of which, I'm sorry if this seems like pestering, but @FIX94 might want to take at the source for Swiss before the Google Code shutdown, if he hasn't already: https://code.google.com/p/swiss-gc/source/browse/

Nah, I meant a setting like Wii U widescreen that switches from 4:3 to 16:11.2. GC and Nintendont render games in 16:11.2. This was because CRT TVs stretch the image so it would look correct afterwards.

Yeah, Idk. I'm writing down other people's wishes too. Someone wanted wired Xbox 360 controller support and another person wanted Dualshock 2.

I added the question mark because I'd like to see an alternative if it couldn't be done. I'll fix it so it's better.

Neat, thanks for the quick lesson!

Isn't the Swiss 16:9 method applied on 'Devolution' where you can change from a 4:3 aspect ratio to a 16:9 aspect ratio & vice versa on the fly by pressing a button combination in any game? I believe it was (-) + (Left-Dpad) on the Wiimote. If so, that would be a fantastic feature for Nintendon't...or something along those lines.

No it doesn't, why else would FIX94 have had to implement all of those timer fixes if Nintendont slowed down the CPU/GPU speeds?

That's what the timer fixes do... they delay the code execution to make it take the same time that it did on the older Gamecube processor. That is the point I was trying to make. There isn't a "Gamecube mode" that the console gets set to for compatibility.

I didn't mean there was a CPU setting to "set clock to X speed."

seriously guys I have the feeling people in this forum get noobier every day. there IS an actual GC Mode which is some sort of processor flag added by nintendo, that flag sets the processor into GC mode, meaning the processor underclocks itself and basically redirects all devices to the original location thus perfectly emulating the illusion of it being a real GC. Nintendont does NOT touch the processor in one bit. ALSO, we do NOT delay any code execution, I do actually modify the ingame code so the game has a proper perspective of time, alot of games did calculate its time by checking how many ticks the processor already did using various reference variables the games decided to use. I analyzed game code over all these months to gradually modify their reference variables to be accurate to the wii processor ticks time so now all games again know the proper times.

How DARE you, guys, not know that stuff Fix94 just mentioned? Shame on you, you should know better that.... and... which is why I feel ashamed of even knowing you guys, seriously, GC mode, what a joke.

It's not that Fix expects them to know everything he explained. He wants them to stop acting like they know stuff when they really don't know sh*t and it's the exact opposite. It may make you look intelligent at first, guys, but it just makes you look like a bunch of fools in the end.

Whenever I try to load nintendont through usb loader gx I get this message on screen.

It worked fine up until I updated to the latest version of nintendont. Sadly I don't know which version it was, so I can't go back to it. Can someone help me?

 

[Cyan]

update nintendont and/or update USBLoaderGX.

Latest version of USBLoaderGX available from the internal update (r1239) will work with all nintendont version.
There's also a newer revision available (r1246) located in my signature, but you need to copy the file manually if you want that version.

USBLoaderGX can't update nintendont anymore, since it's hosted on a SSL server and I didn't add SSL compatibility yet.
Update nintendont manually, or from the nintendont own update menu.

Hey, kinda off-topic:
Have you had the chance to work on that "Wii Back-up Manager" like for GCN games?
Is the original WBM open source? If so, wouldn't it be possible to recompile it adding GCN functionality?

 

[ole]

Question, is it possible to have Nintendont/nintendont fork, to launch Wii games so one could use the controller support of nintendont? (like using an Wii u controller to be emulated as an classic controller or as an sideways wii remote.)

Half the work is already done > http://www.wiibackupmanager.co.uk/gcit.html

Yeah, but I'm talking about redump verifying, GAMETDB renaming etc...

 

[MSR914]

I'm pretty sure I already have the xml file...is that the one that is supposed to be in the nintendont folder? Or do I need anther one? Thanks

Another question I have is I have the nintendont file on my ad card and my games folder in a usb, however I can't find how to access the usb through the wii

 

[MSR914]

now when i try to load the app it says "faild to load kernel from NAND"

 

[pedro702]

now when i try to load the app it says "faild to load kernel from NAND"

if you read the troubleshooting on the first page

Kernel failed to load NAND
This is probably an issue with your IOS58 too. you currently have either a bad or a patched version.
Follow the same procedure than the previous IOS58 question/answer just above.
DO NOT REINSTALL OR MODIFY YOUR IOS IF YOU ARE ON WiiU!

 

[Valkerion]

i hate when people say newest and latest version, just say the version number even the last page someone has having issues becuase he said he had the latest version but he didnt he had the latest one from google code not from when it passed to github the latest is 344 check your number on top of nintendont, Also check to see if you have a good dump(md5 checked) and what forced settings you are using.

Calm down, I was asking in the general sense if there has been a known update/version release that killed the compatibility of this game. Not that big of a deal. I know about that other stuff hence why I did not include it. And no forced settings, yes its a clean version, and of course its 344. It was a yes or not question is all.

It should be done in a week or two... And no, I've never found any source code for Wii Backup Manager. I will probably start adding Wii title support to the tool after I've released it with GC support.

I know, right? I feel foolish for not having read the code documentation... oh, wait...
