Yeah that's true, no problems from my experience so far.

I'm getting my refurb unit on Monday - it comes with a one year warranty. Do folks suggest I wait until that one year is at least no good until I do this? I don't want to have a refurb unit without that year cushion from the start, but I really want to have my GCN games available to play on the gamepad.

You don't have a folder called "root" do you?
The root of a drive is just the baseline window, like the desktop of the card. As soon as you open the card in your computer you should see the apps folder immediately.

how come the analog triggers dont work when the gamecube controller is hooked up as a classic controller when the classic controller has analog triggers??

Since you already answered the root question, you're probably missing a meta.XML file (which is important to Hbc since dol file doesn't contain some Wii specific information).
I've never used the meta file. Its not needed.
I suspect it may be your SD card. Give another one a try. Is it definitely FAT32 formatted?
If you are using the discex compressed format then thats why. Use the clean ISO instead.
Thanks, I didn't realize discex corrupted some games

I don't think so. I believe Nintendo wants to make their emulators in house to ensure 99% accurate emulation to the hardware. Though there's one exception since M2 did the GBA emulator for Wii U.
Nintendo won't release GBA virtual console titles on 3DS as they use DS mode instead of native to 3DS, so it's doubtful they'd do something similar here. They would want a GC emulator native on Wii U, not via Wii. Though there was whatever they were thinking with ambassador titles.
My monitor can't force 4:3 so I guess I'm not using this til they add in the ability to force it. Ruins an otherwise perfect thing.
Yep. I actually only play Project M on my Wii U at the moment, been playing it on there for months. I use a Mayflash GC to Wii Remote adapter so I can use a GC controller. Not perfect but it'll do while I lack a Wii to use.
Correct. Just buy it and sell it afterwards.
Or buy it for £12 from GAME and then sell for £8 to CEX.
After installing the hack, you can use the ntsc copy of course.

I still don't quite understand what to do with the GCMM raw files to get them working with Nintendon't :/
Also, a group of my Wii games is missing, which annoyingly includes my copy of Smash Bros Brawl.

lol, encountered my first nintendont related glitch today.
In Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3, the music tracks carry on playing even when paused or when you end your run and looking at your stats. They don't stop until you start playing a level again at which point it changes
however, it's actually awesome. It means you actually hear the full versions of the tracks rather than the music being cut off at the 2 minute mark, and it adds a bit of variety to the menus that would otherwise have silence!

richisawesome, thanks for the guide. I've got my copy of Animal Crossing on my SDcard, backed up my old town save (with all the NES games too 
) and now all I need is a copy of Brawl (seem to have lost mine to setup homebrew on my Wiiu). It's going to be awesome visiting the town I haven't been to in years
) and now all I need is a copy of Brawl (seem to have lost mine to setup homebrew on my Wiiu). It's going to be awesome visiting the town I haven't been to in years Weird issue here. Installed the Homebrew Channel just fine (I modded my original Wii years ago, so this was no problem), and I used CleanRip to backup a few games, which are now ISOs, onto my USB external (plugged into the top USB port in the back of the console). After starting the HBC and Nintendont, I select USB and the app freezes then crashes, usually after about a second.
Is it folder structure? When using an SD, I know it's supposed to be the root folder, then games/whatever/game.iso. Is this the same when loading from USB?
Also, I used GCMM to back up some original GC saves from my old memory card, and now have them on the SD. Any way to use these for the GC games on Nintendont?

Finally got around to doing this, playing my old copies of SA1/2 and Soul Calibur 2 with Link just...brightened my day.
Now if I can just find a copy of Mario Sunshine at one of my local game shops.

It literally just works. Just press a button in the nintendont menu and it assigns it automatically.

Thanks to this thread I started the process of homebrew on my Wii U.
Got most of it working, but I have no idea how to set up Nintendont with USB Loader GX. Seems like there's no acknowledgement of it anywhere in settings.
Can anyone tell me how to get it running on USB loader GX... Or any other launcher? Thanks!

Pretty sure you have to install cIOS to get USB Loader GX to work.
Sorry to seem dumb but I can't figure out how to do this. Is there a special option in the settings or something? TS2 and 3 don't recognise any button presses on the wiimote or nunchuk.

Looking at the smash stack/ boot mii info now, and it says there's different versions depending on if you use NTSC-U NTSC-J or PAL/KOR. Is that the same with vWii on Wii U or is there just one homebrew channel installer for that? I'm European PAL region.
EDIT - Nvm, I get now that the region thing is referrring specifically to smash stack and your version of smash.
Double Edit - having said *that*, the PAL/KOR link for smash stackdoesn't seem to work. So I'm back to square one.

there a solution to this or are those games fucked?
hey there, I had the same problem but managed to find it on this page which has a link at the bottom for all regions Smash Stack
Has anyone gotten Eternal Darkness to load past the first screen with the Edgar Allan Poe quote? Mine freezes on this screen, and I have to turn off my Wii using the power button on the console. The controllers won't do anything. I checked the compatibility list, and the game shows green in all categories. I'm on the latest build of Nintendont. Other games work fine.
Edit: NVM. I saw the earlier post about the DiscEx format causing it. Added the big iso, and it works fine now. This sucks though, because I've spent the past couple of days ripping isos and converting them into DiscEx. Is there a compatibility list specific to DiscEx formated games? I don't want to go back and rip the 40+ isos I just deleted after formatting to DiscEx!

The "latest version" is whenever he commits new source updates.
Well then. Thanks for the update. I'll have to look into it again. My Wii U's already softmodded with a USB Loader.
I just finished modding it. First and only game I tried so far is Luigi's Mansion. Definitely works.
They should work absolutely fine. I have finished Luigis Mansion on mine. And I discex compressed it. Kirby should be the same, others confirm it works.
It's likely a bad rip.
