Hacking Nintendont

[Shiranui-san]

Hi, I'm on v3.355 (wii) and got this "issue": I use usb loader gx to load my wii and gamecube games, on v3.350 gamecube games loaded straight up after selecting them in ULGX, now after selecting them nintendont launch (as before) BUT asks " SD, USB" then I have to launch the game by pressing A. Basically the process isn't automated anymore and nintendont is acting like I'm launching it from the HBC.

Go to USB Loader GX settings and enable the option called "Autoboot".

@Shiranui-san already done...

Then report it into GX's own topic and Cyan will look into it, this doesn't look like a problem on Nintendont's side. Which version of GX are you using?

 

[marchrius]

I'll check it tomorrow and report it in usb loader gx thread as well I'd say "latest" but here you kinda hate this word hahahah, all I remember is the latest in the sense that I tried to update it from the loader itself and it said 'no updates found'

Ok, a moment ago I had USB Loader GX v1251 and Nintendont v353, autoboot was working.
Now I have USB Loader GX v1251 and Nintendont v355, autoboot failed just like you described, lol.
Something changed in Nintendont v354 or v355 that prevents autoboot when using it together with GX. MAybe a new detection is needed or something.

Try deleting your config?

Try deleting your config?

Deleted nincfg.bin from both SD and USB, still not working.

Did you try different USB Cables?

 

[ganons]

Did you try different USB Cables?

On the Wii U, 3 different cables. It worked only once during the first time using nintendont then never again. Bought a Wii U pro controller which works in the menu but not working ingame

Has anyone tried Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3(NTSC) recently?. The game itself works fine, but the only ANNOYING issue is that when any movie plays i get a blackscreen (sound still plays), I have a verified ISO on redump and im using 3.352 with default settings on a wii.

I think the videos use XFB (external framebuffer), at least on Dolphin, that, and I think they're encoded at 240p. I could be wrong though. Have you tried this on other TVs/monitors?

I have a couple of questions, so here we go:
My girlfriend sent her wii to repair, and when it came back the guys had installed USBLoader GX with some Wii games she didn't had in wbfs format. After some weeks I bought a Wii of my own, and revived my old game cube games when I discovered Nintendont, and it worked perfectly fine for me, so I decided to do the same on my girlfriend's Wii, so:
1- The guys had installed two USBLoader GX's channels into her Wii, and after I got Nintendont to her HDD I noticed that one of the two channels would only recognize Wii guys, while the other one recognized both Wii and CMG games. Can someone explain this to me?
2- When loading a GMC game via USBLoader GX using Nintendont, I get the following message "USBloaderGX couldn't verify Nintendont boot.dol file. Launch this boot.dol anyway?", and then I can click either "Yes" or "Cancel". If I choose Yes the game goes without any trouble, but since I never got this message with my Wii, could someone explain to me why does it happen and how to remove it?

Oh I was kidding. Knowing you are a Sonic fan I said that in case you would be angry at me xD

I'm not, honestly everyone is entitled to like and dislike what he wants

The guys at the store most likely installed very outdated versions of both Nintendont and USB Loader GX, they do the same over here and if you ask them they probably don't even know.

Has anyone played Space Raiders? I have played a lot of this stupid game today just fine, and the auto saves was working well (aparently). Then, when I quited the game and change some config on in game options, the game crashed while saving options change(turn the system off and see the manual blablabla). The save corrupted, and the game tells me to exclude them from the system mc manager, but there is no sav file from the game there!!!(I'm not using mc emu, I always use official nitendo 251 memory card). I haven't tested with mc emu or other memory card yet.

if button dont chnage on hid test then whatever is happening your controller is no sending hid signals for some reason, its ether your cables that are all charge only or your controllers, if hid test doesnt detect hid signals for sure nintendont wont either.

seems it might be the same case as the agent under fire opening cutscene but someone needs to confirm if this was working before or not, werent there some ppl that played tony hawks pro skater 3 long ago?

use the latest usb loader dol and nintendont dol, also make sure the loader.dol from nintendont is renamed to boot.dol

i think you will find it extremely hard to find anyone using real MCs let alone playing that game to test stuff for that game, try again? or try with mcemu?

 

[almmiron]

I think so... I wil edit this post when I find solution. No one even play this game anyways....

Test 1253 usb loader gx.

Someone can try this? I'm not at home right now.

At least we know something changed in nintendont, is no usb loader GX fault.

if button dont chnage on hid test then whatever is happening your controller is no sending hid signals for some reason, its ether your cables that are all charge only or your controllers, if hid test doesnt detect hid signals for sure nintendont wont either.

Aren't all cables charge only? How do you find a HID compliant one? What do you do when the HID app is launched to known it's working? Why isn't the Pro controller working in game?
