Wii U Nintendont Forwarder

A quick modification of MrNick666's forwarder channel for use on the Wii U (vWii).I simply used ShowMiiWads to replace the 00000001.app file inside the WAD with the vWii compatible version and changed the title ID from SCUM to ECUM so that the vWii loads ScummVM in the proper 4:3 Aspect Ratio. This way your games can be played the way they were designed (All the games I own were designed for 4:3 at least).I take zero credit for this. Credit goes to MrNick666 for his original Forwarder, and to FIX94 for the legwork that allows Forwarders to exist on the vWii. I just put two and two together.Links to both of the posts that made this possible:- Usage instructions can be found here also.Hopefully someone will find this useful. I made an account to post this only because I couldn't find a ScummVM vWii Forwarder anywhere else hahaEdit Protip:To get rid of the black borders surrounding all sides of your games, add the following to the scummvm section of your scummvm.ini file.
That file is located in SD:/Apps/ScummVM/.
Edit: A workaround has been found, I explained it here:I've been having this problem as soon as I've tried the forwarder. When I launch it, it'll boot into vWii and show the wii logo, then just black screen where buttons don't do anything. Yet if I manually boot vWii then exit back to wiiu and run the nintendont forwarder, it'll work just fine until I shut down the console.
I can press Home which reboots to the wiiu home menu, and still be able to launch the nintendont forwarder, as long as the system hasn't been shut down.I've tried many different workarounds and different versions of Nintendont, including the latest version. There's no clear explanation as to why it's having issues booting Nintendont from the forwarder.I've even tried different SD cards.Update: I want to confirm further testing. So I installed the Wiisxr and Not64 overclocked injects on the wiiu menu. I ran an overclock app called signc2wpatcher which is what overclocks vWii when you launch wiisxr, and surprisingly Wiisxr loaded up just fine and with gamepad support.
So I turned off the system, turned it on and loaded up signc2wpatcher and ran Nintendont. Of course it black screens. This confirms that Nintendont specifically has problems because other vWii homebrew app injects work just fine on Wiiu.
What's odd is that I can still do the button combo to increase/decrease the screen brightness (Start + dpad up and down). Mashing A doesn't do anything and nor do the other buttons do anything. I can confirm that this issue is specifically related to Nintendont, because I can launch other vWii homebrew apps such as Wiisxr and not64 from the wiiu menu. Even when I try to launch Nintendont with signc2wpatcher (Which is silly), I get a black screen.Both Nintendont fowarder and indivisual GC injects result the same. It's completely odd because I can match someone else's setup as much as possible but I can't pinpoint what's different about my system or SD files. With so many different combinations I've tried, I just gave up and simply use the solution instead, which is to launch vWii, exit then launch a GC inject. Hmm the strange part is that I can normally use Nintendont from vWii, and always have been with no problems whatsoever.
The Wiiu is having a hard time rebooting to vWii and loading up Nintendont. Perhaps I should try putting the nintendont app files on a USB flash drive and seeing if that offers any better bootup. I've tried three different SD's. Maybe some Wiiu's have different vWii nand chips, Im absolutely sure nothing is corrupted in vWii because everything works in vWii.Literally launching vWii, exiting then running Nintendont in wiiu menu shows that my SD card definitely works just fine, as it successfully boots Nintendont that way.
This problem only happens with Nintendont. I got rid of the black screen after launching the game by doing the following steps; deleting the 'nincfg.bin' in the root of the SD, not sure why but my GCVC injects didn't want to load, then going through vwii and running nintendont loader to update by pressing 1. I'm using haxchi, with the config command 'default=sysmenu' and I got the Nintendont loader v5.471 and go about 10 games in the SD card working and the GameCube VC injects from WiiU USB Helper of Mario Sunshine and MKDD to work.
But I still can't get Pokemon XD to load though, I keep getting the black screen of death. I was having the same issue as everyone else.Black screen sometimes after Wii logo comes on GC injects and on Nintendont forwarder i would get sometimes a black screen with the number 3. But i would still be able to select things and start a game.I then proceeded to do the steps as stated above.
By Deleting the 'nincfg.bin' file and updating Nintedont everything seems to work fine for now. But i wouldn't be surprised if it stopped working, since before when i would change something, it would seem it would work at first with no black screen and then the black screen issues would start to pop up again a bit later.I will report back if i have any issues again. There's now a solution to this black screen issue with Nintendont! This is thanks to the Wii VC inject of Homebrew Channel.
Install the HBC Wii VC inject on the wiiu side (With CFW enabled) and launch it. It will reboot to vWii and boot up Homebrew Channel, but it has gamepad support. Now launch Nintendont and it will literally work like normal, with gamepad support.It seems that booting HBC first gives you that vWii boot you needed to make nintendont work. Remember on my original post how I said that booting vWii first, exiting to wiiu and running nintendont made it work. This relates to that.(Links removed) You'll need a Wii VC inject of HBC, and have FIX94's HBC installed in vWii.It seems like Fix94 unintentionally created a workaround to our unique problem.
You still can't boot Gamecube injects as expected, but you can still essentially boot Nintendont and play with the gamepad just as you wanted to. The day has finally come when we can play Nitnendont with the gamepad, now there's a workaround that works just good as launching the nintendont wiiu forwarder. It did matter what HBC I have installed, because I installed the HBC inject on the wiiu side and I launched it. It just resulted in a dsi exception error. So Im like hmm I must really need to install FIX94's HBC with it's unique game ID. If this doesn't exist, you cannot launch HBC from the inject.
The inject looks for a specific game ID installed in vWii and I know this because it was made using FIX94's Wii VC channel booter which you can enter an ID into a txt file. As soon as I installed FIX94's HBC 1.1.4, the inject then worked as expected. And from there, Nintendont was launchable. Hi!After trying for some days now I finally fixed this. Probably it's not the same solution for you all but maybe it will help someone.What finally fixed it for me:I put the SDcard in my computer, under the Saves-folder there was a lot off files and folders with strange symbols. I could not delete, move or do anything.
I opened Properties for my SD card and made the choice to 'check now.' Under Tools tab. Checked 'Automatically fix file system errors'.When I looked at the SD card again the Saves folder was gone. Instead there was a Saves-file which I then deleted. I then created the saves folder again.Thats all!
Nintendont Forwarder Wii U Gamepad
Now I can start up Gamecube injects =))I have checked some off my Wii U games and the saves seem to be there and working. Maybe all the strange saves was from when I was using loadiine?
Wii U Nintendont Forwarder List
I don't know but most importantly everything is 100% ok now =)Sorry, I spoke to soon. Today I have the same problem again. I don't understand how. Yesterday I tried several games and also restarted the console. All was working.
I even tested another SD-card (with the exact same content) and it also worked.This is really strange. Maybe someone else here has an idea? I had the same problem with black screen with nintendont games threw wii u vc injecs but i couls launch from vwii the fix was the easyist thing ever i launched vwii went into nintendont settings and changed vidio width to auto now i have black lines on the side of my screen in nintendont loader but they go away when i launch my games with wiiu widescreen on so i can live with the black lines in my loader and full screen games better then full screen loader and all black screen games lol hope this helps some people.
