Hacking Nintendont

[sonictopfan]

now it seems that ntsc 1.0 used yet another __CARDUnlock...
-added yet another __CARDUnlock IPL patch
edit: another correction, this now hopefully works?
-ipl patch correction, its more complex than I thought

I will test and report... "Now Loading..."

Nope, sorry I still get the same results, my third party MC works fine but the first party MCs I have only work if I take them off and reinsert them after the game starts.

Hi,

How force progressive scan work for pal games? Every time I tried to force progressive in a way or another (i.e. force progressive and/or force pal/ntsc 480p) I got a freeze with every game.

I managed to get progressive mode with Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance PAL on a PAL Wii connected to my TV (Samsung TV UE40ES6000) with component cables and with the Wii’s menu set to 480p:

1. If I run it without any forced option, my TV will report 720×576 / 50i when the game starts. If I had the B button pressed at boot, the prompt for choosing 60Hz or 50Hz will come up, and if I select 60Hz my TV will change to report 720×480 / 60i. The edges of letters and other fine details are not crisp, as expected from an interlaced image.
2. If I only enable "Force Progressive", my TV will report 720×480 / 60p right from the moment the game boots, and it will remain like that irrespective of whether, having had the B button pressed at boot, I choose 60Hz or 50Hz. Even though the TV reports 480p, the edges of letters and other fine details are still not crisp, though. As a matter of fact, it looks the same as 1.
3. If I enable "Force Progressive", "Video: Forced", "Videomode: NTSC" my TV will report 720×480 / 60p right from the moment the game boots too. Having had the B button pressed at boot, a prompt asking whether to run the game in progressive mode will come up. Only if I choose yes, the edges of letters and other fine details will be noticeable crispier that with the previous attempts. The TV will be reporting 720×480 / 60p irrespective of whether I choose Yes or No, but the crispiness is definitely different.

At neither point did the game freeze, though. I have not tried this with other games.

I do not know if this is the expected way of obtaining progressive in PAL, but if it is, I find it rather cumbersome. I would have expected step 2 to give me the results of step 3 without even having to have the B button pressed at boot and choose progressive output (i.e. if I activate Force Progressive, that is the mode I expect without requiring further interaction). Is requiring all 3 options PLUS having the B button pressed at boot time a design decision? If so, why? Or it even working is an unexpected behavior?

My PS2 controller works in the HID test but it doesn't work with nintendont I have the controller.ini in the root of the sd card and the root of my usb hdd

I do not know if this is the expected way of obtaining progressive in PAL

keep in mind 99% of the PAL games dont have any handling code for progressive so its just a luck game if you activate some remaining code for that.

Then why have the option at all?

Because I asked for it back.
Having it optional is the best part.

Most games that I know of have no issue with it.

I wanted to make sure; for Triforce saves, it's a .bin and a .raw, right? Also, I added a "Return to..." setting to the wishlist, and also re-ordered and cleaned it up. (It was a mess in the BB Code Editor)

I see. I was surprised to see a dialog with the game’s own typography that no PAL console will ever display.

I found that this list identifies which GameCube PAL games can be forced into progressive mode, and Fire Emblem is indeed there.

[darkstalker]

there are many fake white wiiremotes and third party ones, if its not the official nintendo wii remote its likely it wont work, nintendont is very iffy with fake/3rd party wii remotes.

 

[darkstalker]

too bad((( maybe the creators will fix that?)))

you dont need memory cards just turn Memory card emulation On and it will save on the SD/usb whatever device you use for your isos.

 

[darkstalker]

But i need to have the original memory card)))
I know nintendont can emulate the GC memory card, and i use it)))

if you can provide a photo of your white wiimote because it might not be third party and you just did something wrong
