Hacking Nintendont

[ccfman2004]

You'd be surprised how many people don't install CFW themselves. They buy it with CFW already installed. We've had many people here asking why Nintendont won't load from the Homebrew Loader or why it doesn't show up. This clearly shows they don't understand the difference between Wii U and vWii mode. Also people here keep asking the same questions over and over even though the first post covers these questions. Granted there are people that come here from all over the world and may not completely understand English.

Let's get back on topic please.

before we got on topic. Shouldn't the user who bought the wiiu ask about the system. I know when I'm buying a console, I usually try to check it out before I buy it. If not possible, I inquiry as much information about it. And end of conversation.

I've sold a few pre-hacked systems and the buyer would not ask any questions other than confirming they can play pirated games.

Thanks FIX94 for your hard work! I updated Nintendont and Bobobo doesn't crash anymore.

Also maybe I was a noob and didn't understand at the time. I didn't expect someone to insult me because of it. It's a simple mistake really, at least I knew that I could run Mocha through the Homebrew package. Why are you arguing about how new I am at this? English is my primary language. I'd appreciate not being insulted for not knowing something I was new two and something I said around two weeks ago. Besides, why does it matter if I said installed or loaded into memory, I was being more concise even if it's not the same thing

What's with the semantic war?

Copying something onto persistent storage is still installing it.
"Shrinking" a GC ISO is compressing it since it takes up less space. It's just not done with a dictionary algorithm.

You can't compress a GameCube ISO. Compressing a digital file means that you can reverse it and get the original file. With GameCube ISOs you are destructively removing data from the file and it can't be reversed. Just like you can't compress audio/video, you can only re-encode it with a more efficient codec.

Not everyone here is native English speaking.
You can shrink or compress a balloon, and expand or decompress a balloon.

Not to continue this but you inflate or deflate a balloon.

Anyway enough. Let's get back to praising all the great developers for this great piece of homebrew.

No it doesn't. That's lossless compression.

 

[FIX94]

No it doesn't. That's lossless compression.

and the destructive form (such as shrinking a gamecube iso) is called lossy compression. So in short yes, shrinking and compressing a gamecube iso are both valid terms to use.

I haven't had any issues using gcit. Just a heads up for anyone who wants to trim/shrink Gamecube ISOs.

until you hit a game with audiostreaming and it will crash nintendont, gcit breaks audiostreaming games and is not recomended, if you want to shrink use DiosMiosToolbox instead.

So if we used DMToolbox we won't hit a problem with audiostreaming games? Thanks pedro! DMToolbox is what I used but I haven't tested my games yet.

yes audiostreaming still works shrunken with dmtb, dmtb is only imcompatible with afew games where you need to use gcit like tales off games,kirby air ride, wretlemania DOr games and maybe afew more.

Which games are those? I haven't had a SINGLE issue with gcit. I don't get why you keep preaching this.

Why not ask Google and then try for yourself and post back? *snip*

I have Bomberman Generations trimmed and it runs fine on Nintendont.

some gaes dont crash and simply dont play the audio streaming portion, some crash, some games only have audiostreaming for like a very specific part of that game where it can crash when it reaches it, i remenber naruto clash of ninja crashing when main menu pressed start or some other game when something happened i cant recall the game, its when they bring up the streaming file wich is misaligend by gcit.

just grab starfox adventures and use gcit on it and you will see.

Roger. Now try all of the others and report back. If none crash Nintendont, then you can tell pedro to go to wherever you want him to go. Otherwise, his cautiousness stays.
