Okay, thank you. Guess it's time to start ripping my Gamecube games!
calm yourself, i was just pointing out the differences between the two approaches. it's too bad Nintendo didn't think this all the way through (or maybe they did and decided against it?) when they designed the Wii U.
Nope and nope.
Yeah. Its 1am here so I will post it tomorrow unless someone else does
Remember, usb loader gx has nintendont support. You get a nice screen with all the boxart then.

Does this need a custom ios?
I use configurable usb loader. I'll see if it recognizes Nintendont. Thx!
Only a modded release of cfg does afaik, but the main app may have been updated to support it by now

Rogue Squadron on the gamepad is too good to pass up.

It doesn't look like the original CFG has been updated in years. You need the "nightly" build of CFG mod for Nintendont support, the most recent "stable" one is still over a year old.
I don't have Gamecube component cables(yet) but I want to do screenshots using Nintendon't.
You can access them via the nintendont menu. Press B (I think, it says at the top of the screen) as it loads up the iso.
All homebrew apps don't (and never will unless Nintendo adds gamepad support to Wii mode) support the gamepad.

Does third party PS3 controllers works?
Edit: Ups, Baten Kaitos seems to have sound issues, that's a shame. It was the game I was more interested in my collection. Since it has problems in dolphin emulation too.
Wasn't some group about to hack the gamepad? Maybe that way it will work, GC games playable on the gamepad would be awesome.

I'm in the process of dumping all my games, I'll give it a shot (probably won't play very well though). You could always track down an original Classic Controller, it has the same shoulder buttons that Gamecube controller did. Another option is Mayflash's adapter that plugs a GC controller into the bottom of a Wiimote.
No. It's impossible without Nintendo allowing it (aside from a Wii U side hack, of course). Long story short, the way that the gamepad talks to the system is much different than the simple bluetooth that Wiimotes use. It uses a wifi signal that the Wii flat out cannot read and since the Wii U literally becomes a Wii when entering Wii Mode, it can never be read. Homebrews will never be able to access it, unless something is changed on the Wii U side when entering Wii Mode.
This, however, is fine! Several non-Wii controllers can be used by homebrews, like PS3 controllers, PS4 controllers, and the Wii U Pro Controller,

WOW I can't believe how easy that was
Only took about 15 minutes total
Wii U Pro worked perfectly also
This is so awesome...thank you OP!

Okay, was this a Wii or WiiU? Was it bricked? Disk read errors? Technically couldn't you just delete the channels and remove the SD card and then it would look unmodded?
How is this possible if the games aren't emulated? Not asking you, just anyone who can answer this
I see the option only to force widescreen.
Thanks. My settings aren't saving after I stop playing a game and then restart. I'm probably missing a save prompt somewhere, but I don't see it in the UI after I select my settings. Is there a way to save the settings so I don't have to manually set them each time I boot a game?

It played just fine, I just tried the game a minute ago. But yeah, it triggers it at full power basically.
I followed above steps but don't see nintendont
Edit: Ok. Made an apps folder in root. Now I see nintendont, but it runs HackMii when I click it
[Quick note: When I initially ran the homebrew channel install, I think it the second item on list that was tested was red and not installed. Something about the OS]
To clarify. I had nintendont installed in privae>wii>app when I didn't see the nintendont and Hidtest options. So then I added an apps folder to root, now the above is happening.
Edit 2: NVM. Upon deleting every folder (no HiD folder) but the nintendont folder I got it working.

i've tried to run this for ages on my wii u, i got it working once but every other time the homebrew channel freezes whenever i try to run any homebrew and i have to unplug the wii u, so i just stick to my wii to play gamecube and wii games. i wish i could figure out why it freezes, would be super handy to be able to pack my wii away.

If that is the case, I don't see how that's just fine; how do you run while squirting to chase after Shadow Mario?
No, once you mod it you can't remove all traces of the homebrew and it adds entries to the uid.sys file. I did some research and it seems they don't always scan the system for homebrew depending on the repair but they do check the uid.sys file for entries that are out of place.
That letter came from a wii u that would not power on.
If you use a controller with analog triggers (PS3, PS4, OG Classic Controller or GC controller via an adapter) the game works perfectly fine.

Well I meant it the triggers work lol. As in, it's not disabled or something weird just because the GameCube triggers were analog and the Wii U uses digital. I have no idea how that will work though, I only played a couple levels before quitting. I know you can setup a config file for the controller you use though so I'm sure the button layout can be adjusted for instances like that.
I think you're better off setting the resolution to 480p to get that.

Thank you for this! I guess I got them confused, too.

It's posts like this one that make me want to install Nintendon't on my Wii U. That looks so neat.WOW I can't believe how easy that was

Wii U Pro worked perfectly also
This is so awesome...thank you OP!
Just to add to the similar question above. What about games like Metroid Prime the make use of the clickable R button? Is it just a case of R1 and R2 on the pro controller instead?

As stated before in this thread the Gamepad only acts as a TV in Wii mode. Buttons are not registered. Gamecube games display on the gamepad of course but need a pro controller or other controller to play.
There is no fixing that. Its a limitation of Wii Mode.

Thanks OP, this is the best news ever! My friend gave me a bunch of GC games I missed out on a few months ago... Eternal Darkness, Luigis Mansion, Pikmin and some others, but my Wii lags like shit on my HDTV even with the component cables. Thought the only option was to play them on my tiny old CRT but I just couldn't get into it... I'm glad I waited!
