Button combination for closing GC titles on Wii U Tiramisu

[Willicious]

Hi all, I’ve noticed that when playing injected GC titles on Wii U Tiramisu, a certain button combo will close the title and return to the menu.

Whilst this is a good feature, it affects titles like SSX Tricky, where a lot of the time the game requires various button combinations to be pressed. As a result, it’s much easier than it should be to accidentally exit a game you’re in the middle of playing.

My question is:

a) can this button combination be modded/reconfigured at all, and if so, how?

b) if not, does anyone know which software injected GC games use to run, and are the devs of this software still active?

Bump. Anyone know anything about this?

Reset/Power off via button combo (R + Z + Start) (R + Z + B + D-Pad Down) (home button on gamepad and pro controllers)

Right, thanks. Is there a way to make it so only R + Z + Start works, and not the other one? The second of these combinations is very regularly pressed during gameplay when playing a game like SSX Tricky, Tony Hawk PS4, etc

Nintendont. And yes, devs are still active.

OK, I'm finally getting around to having a look at forking Nintendont so I can fix this button combo. Does anyone happen to know wherabouts in the code this is handled?

Need some help compling Nintendont.

Does anyone know of a proper step-by-step compiling guide (i.e. from having nothing on your system to having a successfully built boot.dol)?

OK, here's what worked:

How to build your own copy of Nintendont on Windows - a step-by-step guide

1) If you haven't already, Clone the Nintendont GitHub repo
2) Install the latest version of devkitPro (you'll replace some folders later)
3) Download the folders from the mediafile like on Nintendont's GitHub page
4) Go to C:\devkitPro\ and rename the following folders:

devkitARM - rename to "devkitARM-original"
devkitPPC - rename to "devkitPPC-original"
libogc - rename to "libogc-original"

5) Paste the replacement folders from Nintendont - make sure they're named devkitARM, devkitPRO and devkitPPC respectively (you have to unzip everything to get to the actual folder itself)
- NOTE that the mediafire link contains 2 devkitPPC versions. The one called devkitPPC r35-2 is the latest. Copy the other one in first (it should simply be called devkitPPC), then paste the one called devkitPPC r35-2 over it, choosing to replace any duplicate files

6) Once you're sure the above folders have been correctly replaced, go ahead and open your cloned copy of Nintendont
7) In the root directory, run Build.bat - if all went well, it should build a brand new copy of loader.dol in the "loader" folder (check the timestamp to make sure it's the one you just built)
8) Go ahead and make any changes you want to Nintendont!

When I've fixed the button combo, I'll upload a pull request. That way, even if the devs never get around to merging it, the code will be available for those that want to set their own button combo.

Managed to find the relevant code (here's the promised pull request for anyone interested) and remapped the combos to the following:

Exit is now L, R, Start
Reset is now A, Y, Start
