Hacking Nintendont

[eyeball226]

no idea but im guessing it wont boot the game becuase bios launches the game after the boot option and it will say wrong region im betting since ntsc bios will see its a pal game.

Ah yeah, makes sense. That's what the real hardware would do at least!

depends on where you have your isos.

My isos are in the games folder on am usb stick

Then the IPL files go in the root of the USB stick.

Question: Does Bootice wipe everything from my HDD? Or are any files on it safe while using the program?

When I load GC games with CFG USB Loader the Nintendont options are reseted, all is set to OFF, including Wii U Widescreen and Mem Card Emulation. Is there a way to load from there keeping the Nintendont settings I already have configured?

Sounds like the CFG version you're using doesn't know about later Nintendont settings. This is the only version that's still being maintained as far as I know.

@FIX94 I sent you a PR for the kernel makefile.

This version is capable to load Wii games from SD as well? If it do so I can use it!

I am using exactly this version of CFG USB Loader and having this issue, it's sad but thanks :/

Let him know in that thread. He may have not updated his fork to support the newest Nintendont config version.

EDIT: I went and looked at that version's source and it's using Nintendont config v6. The latest is v8 so that's probably why it's not working properly.

Got a simple, or maybe a hard question.

Most emulators are ported to WiiU too as far as I saw, no need to softmod the Wii part on WiiU.

Nintendont only runs in vWii on WiiU now. Is a port that runs straight through the WiiU homebrew/CFW possible too in the future? As most problems on WiiU occur within the softmodded vWii part as far as I read into it, I would like to stay away from sofmodding the Wii part of WiiU. A native Nintendont for WiiU would be great, if possible ofcourse.

I aint a technical/coding guy so could talk total impossible nonsense now.... Sorry if that is the case.

nintendont is not an emulator, it cant be "ported" becuase wiiu mode has no gx processor only gx2 wich is vastly diferent nintendont does not emulate cpu or graphics its all wiis so no it cant be simply "ported" it would need an graphic emulator wich the wiiu mode probably couldnt even pull off without adding fps drops and lag.

if you mod your vwii following the correct tutorials its so easy like modding the original wii lol its preety easy.

 

[MartU]

Not saying vWii modding is not easy, softmodded my good old Wii too.

Just saying I read on this forum that if WiiU bricks happen it is often because of something going bad within modded vWii.

Anyways, yeah already read that Nintendont is no straight emulator, but was just curious if it would be a possibility. Thanks for the reply. Gotta go softmod vWii then as my Gamecube adapter needs some more action than just Super Smash Bros WiiU

I replaced my Wii HDD with an SSD now, so sometime tonight this weekend I'll post a test build that adds extra debugging for CheckForMultiGameAndRegion() errors. Instead of just saying an error occurred, it shows what error occurred and what file it's trying to load. This should help us figure out why it's failing for some users.

Also, I've received mostly positive feedback from the Slot B branch, so I might send a PR over the weekend. If you want to test it out:

• Test build: https://github.com/GerbilSoft/Nintendont/raw/v4.432-MChax1/loader/loader.dol
• GitHub issue: https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont/issues/200

Testing instructions are listed here: https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont/issues/200#issuecomment-268029254

If you look around, you might find a thread about booting from Wii U Homebrew Launcher straight to vWii Homebrew Channel via an app. You can replace the path from Homebrew Channel to Nintendont if you install a Forwarder for it. (Wad)

GUGE69 NFS Underground 2's ccar engine sound glitches randomly on latest ND. Default settings tried and still glitches. Ran from USB btw.

Hopefully someone else will test to verify...and yes, my gcm is redump. org verified.

Hi everyone, been a long time, where can I see the latest update list made to Nintendont, i miss google code for that. Github is hard for me to understand and can't see what the latest changes made are?

I guess the commit list is the closest thing to a changelog: https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont/commits/master

I dont want to backread all 1796 pages, so am just gonna ask here... i read in the first page that nintendont support USB-HID controller...does this mean i can use my ps3 controller controller on my wii using a usb-cable? can i rely on links provided to give the latest version? I donwloaded mine at wiibrew.... and according to this thread i have to download a new boot.dol once i installed nintendont? and lastly, how come the nintendont i downloaded comes with 2 folder, 1 apps and 1 controllers... should i place them on the root of my sd card?

additional question: is 1GB SD enough?

latest nintendont is on github you can get it here
https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont/raw/a1e4a337f903f5d229c658f5bcf61ab4de372ba7/loader/loader.dol

just rename it to boot.dol and replce it on your apps folder of nintendont.

you can delete the controllers folder is not needed anymore.

yes you can straight up use your ps3 controller as long as its usb connected every time.

all full gc disc dumps are 1.35 gb each so yeah 1 gb isnt really even enough, you can shrink the games but its not recomended due to some games and some toolls and even then 1gb isnt enough really.

tnx! but my gc games are in my HDD not in my SD... so is 1GB sd card enough? BTW, i dont know what a "disc dump" mean, am just assuming saving your gc games in your sd card.
