Is the mobile version of this app still being worked on? Would love to install Gcn games, don't have a Pc, can't find any online. (maybe someone could start a megathread somewhere?)

The mobile app receives fewer updates than the desktop application since it's by far less used.
In any case, it will not be possible to make gamecube injections on mobile since the process requires tools which are desktop only.

Just to make sure, what version of the application are you using?

I just donated and tried to enter my donation key... But the app didn't care!
I clicked "I have a donate key" and it just took my word for it.

Anyway, doesn't really matter to me just thought you might like to know.

I think if you have copied the donate key into memory the app retrieves it automatically when you click "I have a donate key", as it now has a message thanking me for my donation, but more importantly knows the email address the donation was made using. It must have retrieved the email address via the key code automatically, as I didn't enter it myself.

Thanks again for a smashing app. Well worth the donation. :)

Hi! Probably a dumb question, but I've tried installing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Downloading the games go smoothly, so does the install, but when I go to launch it, it shows the Nintendont screen and says "failed to create memory card file."

I did some research- do I have to install these injects on vWii? I also installed Nintendont, and set an option to emulate the memory card, but that didn't fix anything. Sorry if this is a dumb question- I'm a complete noob when it comes to technology.

I too am receiving this error when trying to create Gamecube installable titles.

Aside from that, this application is really top notch. I really appreciate all your hard work!

If I use this to install RetroArch will it pull an update should one come along?
The channel provided in USB Helper is just a forwarder so you'll still have to update the binaries on your sd.
I'm not sure but perhaps you can update them directly from the loader?

Is your sd card write protected?

Does this happen on all gamecube games? Someone else appears to have the same issue but I'm unable to reproduce it on my end.

The games it appears to be affecting for me are:
1) TLoZ Four Swords Adventures
2) Pikmin
3) MGS: Twin Snakes
4) OoT Master-Quest

I will test the others that have worked for me in the past and see if they are affected as well.

Edit 1: I just tested Animal Crossing (which had worked previously) and it has failed to work, it prompted the same error I attached previously.
Edit 2: Just to be proactive, I uninstalled the previous version and reinstalled and went through a fresh setup, but the error still persists. I will keep trying to fix, thanks for your help and patience thus far!

I'm having the same issue (500 internal server error) for gamecube games.

The response was returned for the requests in the uploaded picture.

Thank you for the details. It's normal for those three request to return Error 500, since the title does not have additional parameters.
Does the error in the application occur when the popup with the spinning disc is displayed?
In that case it must be another resource since those three urls are checked before the injection begins.
If someone with the error would like to let me have a look at it with TeamViewer it would really help me understand what's going on since, as far as I can tell, all the resources are available given that I can complete the injection process without any problem on my machines.

The requests in the picture have returns of 500 error when injection started (disc spinning).

Alright thanks.
I think one of the resources was not properly cached across all the edge servers. I tried flushing the cache. Can you tell me if the issue persists?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
