This will fix us randoms who can't get Nintendon't to work.

1) Install Nintendon't to your sd card.
2) Put your games on your sd card or usb like normal.
3) Download this and install it into you vWii https://github.com/FIX94/hbc/releases/tag/1.1.4-1 using a wad manager
4) Download HBC with gamepad support here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzEB8f_rxW-oSzFRaXJEalFQZUE and install this using using wup installer GX2
5) Run Haxchi and then run "the homebrew channel" not "the homebrew launcher".
6) Enjoy! 100% Working!

Do you have a proof for the encryption issue? From my experience black screen issues are a mix of Nintendont bugs and a missconfigured Nintendont (i.E. trying to play with a HID device while the gamepad is attached to controller 1 in Nintendonts config - Ofc using vWii will work around that as the gamepad isn't beeing used there at all. Also AFAIK Nintendont devs are working to resolve such issues but take that statement with a grain of salt).

It can be from those, but i thought a while back we discovered that some wii u's vwii nand chips are different and used a different encryption method. Maybe i am remebering wrong.

I am kinda confused with the links. In the githublink there are 2 files. "Homebrew.Channel.-.OHBC.wad" and "wiiload.exe". Which file do i install? And in the google drive link there are 21 files and a folder called "WII Apps" in which are 15 files. Do i need all files or only some specific ones?

In my case, I think it was a missconfigured Nintendont.

I fixed my configuration deleting the XML file from Nintendont in my SD card.

My issue was caused by injecting a gamecube game in other computer with probably a different version of USB Helper, which I used again to prepare the SD card, probably with other Nintendont version. Then, my old XML file was incoherent with the loader. I realized that building the SD card again from scratch. The XML file is created the first time you launch your gamecube game from the Gamepad.

Does anyone have the files that were in the google Drive? It's locked now, and i am unable to make the needed file myself.

Kind regards

I've discovered that the black screen issue when using the gamepad is simply a graphical bug. This means that Nintendont is still functioning correctly beneath the surface, even though we can't see what's happening on the screen.

I use an SD card for the games, so all I need to do when it loads on the black screen is press 'A' (to select the SD card), then navigate blindly using the directional pad (sometimes a glitchy white screen appears during this process and you can actually see where the cursor is). Finally, press 'A' again to start a random game from the list.

In my case, the game loads properly, and by just turning the console off and on again, Nintendont will now load correctly without the graphical glitch.

This is not a permanent fix, so you will need to repeat this process basically everytime the black screen issue occurs.

For anybody looking into fixing this issue in 2024, using the CrisMMMod of Nintendont fixed all crash and black screen issues for my Gamecube injections: since I can't post links yet, Google Nintendont CrisMMMod and download it on Github. No more black screen issues and it gives you the Gamecube startup animation, a nice plus.

Oh thanks, I wasn't aware of that! So I guess this one should be 100% black screen free too (and up to date!). I will try it out.

Edit: it seems to work exactly as the CrisMMMod, no dreaded black screen! Thanks!

So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
