Homebrew Trouble with Nintendont

[yusuo]

Ok some i'm trying to get this up and running and well im having nothing but headaches

First thing i've tried is to get the VC GC injector going, this always results in either a black screen or a "failed to create ememory card file" error.

I've tried 3 different SD's (1 64GB, 2 32GB) formatted in a mixture of default cluster allocation and 32kb cluster allocation and still the same error.

I assume i have the correct ios installed as prior to trying the VC injector it worked fine through wiiflow with iso files, now it does not.

I have gone into nintendont via vWii homebrew channel and even now that fails to see the SD://games folder although it is definitely there.

Everytime i have formatted the card I am using built in windows formatter, but im at the point of giving up now, anyone with any ideas on how I can get this resolved.

As would like all the games running off my HDD

For the problem with your SD card you can try to wipe off all partition information and then format it again
In Windows open a command prompt and type in diskpart
Type list and note down the number of the disk you want to format.
Type select disk <the number you noted in the step before>
Type clean Attention: this will delete all your files on your disk so make sure backed up all your files
Type create partition primary
Then use the build in windows formatter to format the disk properly

For the problem with Nintendont
Did you name your file properly? Like SD:/games/<GameName>/game.iso
The iso file must be named game.iso. The only thing you are free to choose is the name of the folder where the game.iso lies in.

Yes I know the games are named properly as before I tried the VC inject they worked fine via wiiflow so they are fine.

I have used disk management to format one of the sd's but there is no problem with the sd itself as it is able to load homebrew off it such as the Nintendont app

Anyone has any further insight into the above

Go on WiiU USB Helper and download the Nintendont Channel (Not the one that is labeled "Forwarder"). There are 2 versions of Nintendont on USB Helper, the Forwarder version and the Channel version, download the Channel Version for WiiU (NOT vWii).

Install the Nintendont Channel with WUP Installer. There is no need to do anything in vWii either.

Now on the root of your SD Card, create a folder named "games".

Example:

SD:/games/

Then you can put all of your gamecube ISO's in that folder. The folder names don't matter once they are in the "games" folder.

Example:

SD:/games/Name of Game 1/game.iso
SD:/games/Name of Game 2/game.iso

And for multi-disc games, the first disc must be named "game.iso", and the second disc must be named "disc2.iso". When the game asks you to change discs, Nintendont will load the disc for you, if the ISO's are named correctly.

Example:

SD:/games/Name of Game/game.iso
SD:/games/Name of Game/disc2.iso

And since you are using the WiiU Nintendont Channel, you can use the Gamepad as the screen AND controller. This is how I use Nintendont, I have ALL of the old Resident Evil games on my SD Card, and they all run perfectly. I even have cheats enabled when I play.

I think this is a lot better then having the games installed as Injects on the Home Screen. Because this way all your games are in one place, inside Nintendont, and this way you can change any of the settings each time you play, if you want to. I have been playing Nintendont this way for awhile now, and its awesome. The old resident evil games are the best in my opinion (RE1, RE2, RE3, RE0, RE Code Veronica), and I just downloaded Zelda Ocarina of Time, which is my favorite Zelda game next to BOTW. I think this is a lot better then having a bunch of Gamecube Game Icons on the Home Screen. But that is just my opinion.

If you need anymore help with Nintendont, please send me a PM, and I can try to help you with what ever I can. I am pretty experienced with Nintendont at this point. lol.

NOTE: You may need to "Prepare your SD Card" for use with Nintendont. WiiU USB Helper has an option to prepare your SD for Nintendont though. Try to search for a gamecube inject in USB Helper and try to download it, USB Helper should pop up with a small window asking you to select the ISO for the injection. I dont think you need to select the ISO, instead there should be a button that says something like "Prepare SD Card", or something like that. It will download and put the files on your SD Card that is needed to run Nintendont. I don't know if that is necessary to run the Nintendont WiiU Channel, but that is what I did, and it works fine.
