Nintendont won't keep settings if used through CFG USB Loader

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Edit settings on Nintendont
2. Play a GC game (using Nintendont, but loading it via CFG USB Loader)
3. Go back to Nintendont settings to see that everything went back to default

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Settings should be saved, but they always go back to the default

What revision of Nintendont are you using? On what system Wii/Wii U?
v2.195, but this was already happening before this last update

Please provide any additional information below.
Apparently, when I open Nintendont directly and change some settings (e. g. set 
memory card emulation to on), they will stay the way I left them even if I 
power off my Wii. But when I start a game on Nintendont via CFG USB Loader, 
settings always go back to default.

I understand this might be a problem with CFG USB Loader itself and not 
Nintendont.

P.S.: Other than that, Nintendont is working amazingly well. Congratulations, 
and thanks!

Nintendont is working as expected.
When you run a game using cfg all nintendont options are set to however they 
were set in cfg. If you want different options in nintendont when starting a 
game using cfg you need to set them in cfg.

I have been searching everywhere on this issue and finally someone that has the 
same problem as me. I have the exacly same problem but, I'm using Wiiflow and 
not CFG USB Loader. Maybe it's a connection to the same problem?

I tried deleting the cfg.bin fil > started wiiflow > started a gamecube game > 
made the settings > Loaded the game > Waited for the game menu to show up > 
return to wiiflow > tries to open a new gamecube game > same problem. After 
this process I opened the device on my computer and I could see it had saved 
the cfg.bin. For some reason it doesn't remember the changes after I open a 
gamecube game via wiiflow. If I open a game via nintendont and save the 
settings it remember the settings but those settings does not apply to the 
wiiflow settings, strange stuff.

"When you run a game using cfg all nintendont options are set to however they 
were set in cfg."

That doesn't seem to apply for all the settings. For example, when I try to run 
a PAL game on my NTSC Wii, setting CFG to "Force NTSC" have no effect and the 
game still plays in black & white. If I do force NTSC via Nintendont settings, 
then the game works correctly.

But again, now that I think about it, that seems to be a problem with CFG not 
applying its settings correctly to Nintendont, so Nintendont itself is indeed 
working as expected.

Once more, thanks for the great work! I'm finally able to play Wind Waker and 
Super Mario Sunshine on my Wii. Thank you. =)

Howard: If you want different options in nintendont when starting a game using 
wiiflow you need to set them in wiiflow.

Reply: And how exactly do I change the nintendont settings in wiiflow? Open a 
game in wiiflow and nintendont settings? Or is there some nintendont settings 
directly in the wiiflow settings? Or change something in wiiflow.ini? Plugins?

Like I said in my earlier comment If I open a GameCube game in wiiflow and 
change the settings that didn't work.

there dose not seem to be an option in wiiflow to change nintendon't settings :/

also having this problem using wiiflow/nintendont off USB (FAT32 on Partition 1)

Same problem for me
When I run Nintendont from Homebrew Channel, the changes are applied.
For example if I set Memory Card Emulation to on, "saves" folder gets created 
automatically and all work as expected.
When I run Nintendont from a loader (I try Wiiflow and CFG Loader) all changes 
are lost and settings go back to default.

Changing an option in nintendont will have no effect on wiiflow, cfg or gx.
If you want an option on when you start a game from wiiflow, cfg or gx you need 
to set those options in the program you are using to select the game. Whe an 
extrenal program tells nintendont what game to run it also tells it every 
single option to use.

@Howard: thanks, I understand...  but e.g. there is no option in cfg70r78 to 
set 'Memory Card Emulation'  ...so it is not possible to use savegames when I 
use a loader? right? (sorry for my english)

When running CFG in english the option to turn memory card emulation on is 
called NMM which is what dois mios calls memory card emulation (No More 
Memory). If your running in a different language The translator could have 
called it something different.

my main issue with this, is some loaders, like usb-cfg-mod,
do not have an option to enable shared memory cards :(

I'm experiencing the same problem with Nintendont through USB Loader GX.

What I've tried:
in USB Loader GX, going to: settings > loader settings > Nintendont section > 
auto boot ON, memory card emulation ON

Each time I try to load a GC game (with Nintendont) from USB Loader GX with 
those settings, Nintendont will start as a default session: no game ready to 
load nor USB Loader GX settings considered.

I'm out of ideas, I've updated both apps to no avail.

@#17 did you change usbloaders path to match the location of the updated 
nintendon't

Original comment by bobdot...@gmail.com on 12 Jan 2015 at 5:13

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@#18 It's still the same, and it's still configured in USB Loader GX as such 
(sd:/apps/nintendont/).

When I start the game on USB Loader GX, it does load Nintendont, but on default 
mode.

It's not really a big deal. I can still press some buttons each time I want to 
play a GC game with my saves. I just wonder what I'm missing... Maybe I should 
reinstall USB Loader GX?

The problem I'm having is that launching nintendont from CFG is that widescreen 
does not stick and buttons, at least A & B, are switched using the classic 
controller. Then when I launch nintendont by itself all my settings are reset. 
If I reset the settings and relaunch nintendont by itself the settings stick 
and buttons are fine. Pretty sure it's a CFG issue, but I don't have all the 
settings in CFG that are in nintendont's settings.

@#20, they changed the widescreen name,
it's now called 'wiiu widescreen'
I just gave up launching from cfg (mainly for no shared memory card setting)
and I now just launch from a channel loader.

@#21, thanks didnt realize they changed the name. Hopefully CFG will be updated 
at some point to reflect this. Now I'm using a channel loader too.

The solution is easy but hard for wiiflow users like me. The problem is that 
wiiflow don't have global settings for gamecube games, so you need to select 
every GC game from wiiflow, click the config icon and make all changes (nmm, 
usb hid, force ntsc, widescreen, etc), the game will load with these settings 
every time you run it, you can turn off the wii and the settings will not be 
deleted (ONLY for that game), so you need to make this procedure for every GC 
game. I hope it helps!!

I forgot to mention i´m using WiiFlow_v4.2.3_Nintendont_MasterMod_Pack_Full i 
don't know if normal version of wiiflow would be different

hi there, the problem can be solved very easy... simply edit the wiiflow.ini.

dml_nmm=1                "mount" the memorycard
wiiu_wide=yes            start the game on wiiu in fullscreen
wiiu_widescreen=yes      start the game on wiiu in fullscreen

simply copy this to section [DML]

this works global for all games ;)

^^^ Dominik wins! Thanks, man. Worked perfectly. You just saved me from 
manually changing the settings on 600 seperate GC games. Cheers.

Does anybody know how to edit the cfg loader settings to enable auto boot. It's 
not in GUI... Saw you got some of the Global for WiiFlow, any idea for Cfg??? 
Prayin, lol
