To build on Windows, you might need to set the "windows" variable so the build process can find zip.exe:

$ windows=1 make

You'll also want to make sure the devkitpro folder with libwinpthread-1.dll is in your PATH.

.dol files (if any) are in the Releases section on GitHub.

What Nintendont will never support:

Quick Installation:

1. Get the loader.dol, rename it to boot.dol and put it in /apps/Nintendont/ along with the files meta.xml and icon.png.
2. Copy your GameCube games to the /games/ directory. Subdirectories are optional for 1-disc games in ISO/GCM and CISO format.
   • For 2-disc games, you should create a subdirectory /games/MYGAME/ (where MYGAME can be anything), then name disc 1 as "game.iso" and disc 2 as "disc2.iso".
   • For extracted FST, the FST must be located in a subdirectory, e.g. /games/FSTgame/sys/boot.bin .
3. Connect your storage device to your Wii or Wii U and start The Homebrew Channel.
4. Select Nintendont.

Compiling:

For compile Nintendont yourself, get the following versions of the toolchain compiling PPC tools:

• devkitARM r53-1
• devkitPPC r35-2
• libOGC 1.8.23-1

These versions can be downloaded here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/j0juqb5vvd6z5/devkitPro_archives

On Windows, run the "Build.bat" batch script for build Nintendont.

On Unix, run the "Build.sh" script.

Please use these specific versions for compiling Nintendont, because if you try to compile them on latest dkARM/dkPPC/libOGC, you'll get a lot of compiler warnings and your build will crash when attemping to return to Nintendont menu, so be warned about that.

Notes

• The Wii and Wii U SD card slot is known to be slow. If you're using an SD card and are having performance issues, consider either using a USB SD reader or a USB hard drive.
• USB flash drives are known to be problematic.
• Nintendont runs best with storage devices formatted with 32 KB clusters. (Use either FAT32 or exFAT.)

Nintendont with XBOX360 controller support

• Only XBOX360 wired version is supported (VID=0x045e, PID=0x028e)
• You control player 1.
• Tested on Wii with Super Mario Sunshine on SD card.
• If the button layout is not perfect, try L+Back to turn buttons quarter clockwise. (Nintendont feature.)

HOWTO

• Connect your XBOX360 controller then start Nintendont-XBOX360. (Order is optional.)
• The XBOX360 LED 1 should now light up and the gamepad should react.
  If you start a game the WiiMote LED says player 2.
• If your controller doesn't work try one of these options:
  1. Restart Nintendont-XBOX360 or your Wii.
  2. Replug your controller.
  3. Plug in your controller after you have started a game.
  4. If it is still not working, try my USB gamepad tester RetrodeTest to check if your Gamepad works at all.
  5. Set EndpointOut=0 in/controller/045e_028e.ini. This will disable rumble and LED will flash.
     Also use this settings if your Wii crashes. (Rare crashes are normal, though.)

Turn on LED and rumble

• If the LED keeps flashing, this means that the LED cannot be set and also rumble will not work. Try to set EndpointOut=2 in /controller/045e_028e.ini.
  The default is EndpointOut=1 which is surprisingly correct for my controller ;-)
  There are controllers which are not compatible with these settings. You could try the values 1-8.
  Maybe check lsusb -v -d 045e:028e and grep for OUT. Example output

Debugging

• Enable Debugger and Log in Nintendont-XBOX360 settings.
• Check log file /ndebug.log.
• The log file is not always written: Best practice is to start a game, then plug in your controller, then quit.

Download

• Release
• Unpack it to your SD card.
• Put games in folder /games
• Optional: Configure button layout in /controller/045e_028e.ini.
  NEW: Fixed XBOX360 rumble for vWii
  NEW: Support 3rd party WiiMote + Nunchuk (labeled with "NEW2in1" and "Motion plus", distributed by Haiwai Consulting/Tiger-Zhou UG)

Compile

Get these versions: devkitppc r29-1, devkitarm r47 and libogc 1.8.16 and execute make.
