Hacking Nintendont

[huma_dawii]

you cant use it in normal wii stuff so you cant actually connect it but doing this will SYNC it with the internal wii buffer that has a list of synced controllers, now in nintendont itself it will be able to connect.

It doesn't work. I'm telling you

that unfortunely is not regular wii bt signals its hid bt wich would require an enterely new bt code same goes for ps3 and ps4 controllers, thats why we dont have bt hid for those.

USB?

It doesn't work. I'm telling you

it does im telling you lol

just press sync on home menu of the wii an sync on the wiiu pro

it will flash like 3 or 4 times then shutdown

this means it worked so dont touch it...

now launch nintendont and then press A on the wiiupro and it will sync once its ingame ...

It doesn't work. I'm telling you

you start your console, in wii system menu, after the health screen, you press the sync button on the wii console itself under the cover, you press the sync button on the wiiu pro controller backside, you wait a couple of seconds. If you turn your wii off, you should be able to now power it on with your wiiu pro controller and then after starting homebrew use it in nintendont. If not, your wii sync buffer is broken and you have to clear it.

USB?

switch pro controller only sues usb to power and doesnt send data its a pure bt hid controller same way wiiu pro was, even tough they sharge trough usb doesnt mean they send data lol.

I am doing that, it just keeps blinking and nothing happens

did it shutdown when you synced it on home menu?

or you kept pushing sync several times and it never synced?

There was a Switch firmware update that allows you to use it while it's connected. In other words, we'll probably need custom drivers to get it to work.

Not true, the Switch Pro controller actually can be used as a USB controller on both the Switch and PC

My Wii whatever think Bluetooth it's fine... I mean, I can sync any real Wii Motes to it

Here's Nintendont v5.462-MChax3: https://github.com/GerbilSoft/Nintendont/raw/v5.462-MChax3/loader/loader.dol

Basically the same as v5.460-MChax2, but rebased to v5.462. Also has a bunch of fixes from Coverity Scan.

Memory card hack for enabling Slot B?

I was doing some other memory card-related stuff in this branch, hence the name 'hax'.

Slot B support, optimized card saving, and some other stuff.

Thanks a lot for Nintendont, seriously.
It is a god send, works perfectly, and now that we can use the gamepad I have everything I need to spend hours comfortably playing nonstop when I have time for it.

Thanks a lot again, you guys did a great job and I'm glad you shared it with us. Hope you have a great day.

Question @FIX94 what is the problem with Nintendont and SD card again?

 

[PegLegs]

Two games i'm havving trouble with,

First one is Ace Golf (Swingerz Golf in USA), the game runs fine but the c-stick doesn't register and you need it to swing the golf club, this happens on Dolphin too when using a controller, but if you set the c-stick to keyboard keys it works? not sure

Second game is The Urbz - Sims in the City, the game doesn't run at all, just a black screen on both Nintendont and Dolphin

Anyone else having problems with these games? any solution?

make sure you got md5 checked isos and your not forcing any settings.

if that is true why cant you see it on hid test? if it was a standard hid controller it would have been one long time ago.

I did merge it in, cant believe somebody actually cared enough to implement something that has so little use.

It's important for moving stuff between towns in Animal Crossing. Other than that, I don't know of anything else that really needs it.

That's a fantastic question that I don't know the answer to
