Hacking Nintendont

[CactusCake]

if you plan on using nintendont i advice getting a real controller, a gc controller(wiis/wiius without gc ports need gc adapter), a wiiu pro or a CC.

nunchuck and wiimote were basicaly made for simple games or fps the current configs are hardcoded and to do a custom config you would need to recompile nintendont.

I'm gonna pick up a CC Pro but until I do I was hoping wiimote-chuck would work. I'm lazy so I'll just push through until I can get my CC.

Thanks for your speedy response

Preety sure nintendont can only mount a single device at a time or else it wouldnt work since the processor cant mount an sd and an usb at the same time and use them consecutively.

Sure it can. I save to emunand on SD from Wii games running from USB.

Question

If I had 2 Wii classic controllers plugged in to 2 Wiimotes, would the second one (activated as the player 2 wiimote) work as player two in the GameCube games (playing Mario Kart Double Dash with my little sister and stuff)?

did the restart / exit buttons change?
I just updated after no using it for a bit and can't get them to work

Yes

For some reason, every now and then I get an error through Nintendont. If it looks on the wrong media (SD or USB) I get an error and a crash, and more often than not everything on my USB stick is trashed. This time I got the "this drive is not recognized and cannot be opened or recovered" or whatever. I removed it and replaced it, and ran the scan/fix thing and now it shows the right free/total space but it says there's nothing on the drive. Should I just quit trying to use Nintendont because this has happened about 5 times now and it's getting old having to format and replace everything that's on the drive..

nintendont runs on a much slower processor than wii games, thats why nintendont cant even support big usb librarys like ntfs, even the fat32 library was butched up so it could run on nintendont.

That doesn't sound right...
Nintendon't is running in Wiimode and should have access to the same resources that a Wii has. I also doubt processor speed would be the limiting factor. Surely the limiting factor is available RAM for the Nintendon't application itself?

Yes

Sweet thanks

Indeed, but I think it still stands that the RAM is then main issue as opposed to the processor.

Nintendont's kernel runs on the Starlet the same as the IOS does when you're running a Wii game. The PPC loader portion doesn't do anything after the kernel has been started and control handed over to it. That issue comment is in reference to using different filesystems from FAT32.

I just use my wavebird wireless controllers with the USB gc adaptoter thing for nintendont. Works legit.

When using the vWii forwarder in OPs post and exiting the app, the screen doesnt go back to the vwii lobby, instead it goes to a black screen and the console freezes.
Anyone got a workaround for this or other forwarder that works good? Thanks

Use a loader (like USB Loader GX) to launch the games instead. The forwarders aren't properly setup for Nintendont to know where to return you to.

Hi eveyone, is anyone having issues with "Knights of the Temple: Infernal Crusade"? when I try to load it, it runs as a Triforce game and then get an Error 21 "This game is not acceptable by main board. I am running latest Nintendont version (3.382). I thought it was a regular Pal gamecube game etc. Did check the compatilbility list and its suppose to be working since ver 2.277. Thank you for any feedback. (Running it from an American Wii U (vWii)

Warmest regards
Pepois

I guess that is the best choice then.
I couldnt however manage to set it up so that cfg USB loader(the one im using) would launch nintendont through my sd card, and the wii games though my usb drive.
I guess the best fix here would be to buy a bigger storage device to carry everything on instead of having two separate devices.

Question

I'm being told that you can't use the Wii Classic Controller Pro wirelessly (plugged in to a wireless Wiimote) with Nintendont. Can I or can't I?

USB Loader GX works just fine for me with that setup. It runs Nintendont from the SD card and my ISOs from my HDD.
