Thanks so much for both this tutorial and getting homebrew set up! My mom and I like to play Mario Party 6, and our copy that we've had for 20 years is so scratched up that the Wii was having trouble reading it. This lets us pick up where we left off using our same memory card! Thanks again!
... No words can tell how happy I am. Seriously. I have a refurbished Wii that was in Japanese. And for some reason (even after hacking it to bypass the region-lock), I couldn't play any of the games I, my siblings, and my mom have. It reads them for sure, but it never actually 'plays' them... So, having a way to actually play Gamecube games _without having to read discs_ is a *godsend* for me! Now I can play 'Mario Kart: Double Dash', 'Super Mario Sunshine', 'Bomberman Generation', 'Bomberman Jetters', 'Worms 3D', and even 'Sonic Mega Collection'! (Some of my true favorite Gamecube games. ^^) So I guess in short, what I'm saying is... Thank you for this tutorial, Scott. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! I have had a Wii with homebrew since 2015 but just recently I wondered if I could play GC games without having to burn discs, I'm glad to know it's possible!
i was able to do it at first. i got it on my wii. i put mk double dash and paper mario ttyd on it. Double dash works fine and Paper Mario TTYD Boots Up To The Title Screen. But When I Press Start It Acts Like Its Going To Load But Then It Just Stays At The Curtains Right After You Hit Start. Also When I Went To Add More Games, They Wont Show Up On There At All. Idk Whats Going On
I have yet to see this problem, But I would start from the beginning in my opinion. Otherwise you can go with using WiiFlow if you tried everything else. Btw Wii flow looks nicer but was A LOT more work for me.
That's what I'm trying to remember too! I did it successfully a couple of years ago.... but now I can't remember the website I downloaded the games from. 😭😭
So i did everything exactly for the gamecube isos, I renamed all the files just like in the video, the games folder is in the root of the sd card and the isos themselves are renamed game.iso, and the games are still not showing up at all in nintendont launcher. how can i fix this ?
Same here I have been troubleshooting this for 2 days. The only way I got it to work is when I put Paper mario ttyd which is relatively small, on the smaller part of my hard drive (which is split in two) where my homebrew apps are located but I don't have enough space on it to download more gc games. So I formatted my whole drive with 200gb of data to fat32, did exactly as in video and yet the games still don't show up in nintendont. I have them in USB loader gx but when I try to load them it tells me to copy them to the sd card and I don't have a sd card in my wii?

I was able to make them show up in USB loader gx and I even downloaded cover but when it came to loading them up, it told me to copy them to the sd card. Thing is... I don't even have a sd card in my wii???
my gamecube controller won't work for me, i plugged it into my wii and i have nintendont, do i need to enable a setting? someone help plz (my gamecube controller has a "turbo" button beside start)
Hey, got a question. I know when you are putting in games that have 2 discs you name one game.iso, and the other disc2.iso, but do you put both in the same folder, or do you put them in separate ones?
@@funkyscott47 Nvm, I figured it out it works. Is there a program that’s free to convert the files to iso? This one was only free for 2 games and now it wants me to pay to keep using it.
My meta.xml file is showing up as a Microsoft edge html doc instead of an xml document. Could that be why Nintendont keeps loading the mariokart cd in the wii when i click usb?
Followed directions step by step, and simply cannot get nintendont to appear in Homebrew channel. copied loader, renamed to boot, copied xml link. everything. The correct USB port is used, the other side is not detected. Other games run fine via postloader for wii. It's Just game cube that resets on me, and this looked so simple, not sure where to start over.
When I try to launch Nintendont with the game on my SD i get a "fat32 device not found" error. Does anyone have a fix? I've succesfully launched GC games from a USB however certain games get to "initializing" and then crash my Wii. Any help is appreciated i just want to play Gale of Darkness man :(
Due to the way Homebrew can’t detect Nintendont (at 2:33 I mean) Iassume that this means I can’t use my SD card for this. I know commenting on a year old video probably won’t result in any responses but is there a way to do this where I can use the SD card slot?
Yeah I used it just make the games folder with your games in your SD card and select sd card instead of usb. I Aldo use usb loader to extract the games and play them which works just fine. I'd you are using that it will give you a prompt when you are downloading to save to the main path or sd card path just click sd card to save it to there
@@cookiethefishy Yeah I found using my USB to SD converter works fine enough, however some things, similar to nintendont, are only detected on my SD slot, like Newer Super Mario Bros. I was wondering if I could find a way to stop one exception so that everything could be detected in one slot but I’m just glad I found a way for it to work.
@KatamariParty only certain things can run from usb. riivolution mods cannot. I only use it personally to store my wii games because wii flow sucks. And sadly usb loader doesn't detect wii games on sd card.
I've had time splitters 1 freeze and smash bros freeze on me. mario sunshine and time splitters 2, luigis mansion so far so good. Any idea why some games freeze?
I have got the homebrew and browser on Wii and Nintendont but I can't figure how to play GameCube games Edit: I'm new to downloading games I've only until now been able to get simple GBA or SNES games to work, so what am I doing wrong.
So...if I already got the homebrew channel, what I need to do is put a pen drive with this folder/archives configuration that it will apper on my Wii on the homebrew channel?
I've been trying to make it work today but the biggest issue I've had is that when Nintendont is in it makes none of my apps show up on the homebrew channel show up for me. As soon as its out of the card its fine. I think this video has been helpful because I realised I didn't save the link address when I saved meta and icon
@@funkyscott47 I did! I kinda forgot what I did to fix it but it's all good now, ever since then Nintendont has been one of my favourite things to use, revisiting all the classics has been amazing, thank you:D
My Wii Games work fine and my GameCube games show up but when I try opening the gc games it just brings me to a black screen, anyone know how to fix this or what the issue may be?
How do you connect GCN controllers to nintendont? I tried doing it from updates, but got an error screen. My adapter and controllers are off brand, though.
I try to load up Nintendont and my screen goes black and nothing happens, so I'm basically forced to plug off my Wii...... I'm very sure I did nothing wrong, did anything change since this vid came out?......
“for those who can’t get the game to pop up in nintendont, what i did and it actually worked was to rename the rom to game not game.iso just game and it should pop up” @adrielrodriguez9207 thanks bro
can someone help me every time i try booting up super mario sunshine my controller disconnects and when i reconnect it it just becomes player 4 even tough im playing alone someone please help
I didn't get it working. I have the right file type, I have it all setup right. Nintendont is working great, it's just not reading the games. the only option I get is the gamecube cd. I wonder why it's not reading the "Games" file
Ok so I have a question, I already have Nintendont on my Wii and some games on my SD Card, however I want to put more games on a USB as I have no longer memory left in my SD Card. Do I put in the USB only the games?? Or should I also put the Nintendont boot files etc, eventhough I already have them in my SD Card??? Thank you!
I’m kinda wondering the same thing. Did you ever figure it out? Because I’m thinking of putting Nintendont on my SD card and the games on the flash drive.
On the homebrew channel, when I click nintendont, it just says loading nintendont 0%. I already opened it fine but, I had to close it due to the fact that my file was named incorrectly and now it wont work, please help.
Ok, so my Wii will only read games when they're not in a folder. Still located in the Games folder, but if I make a folder with the game name then put game.iso inside of it, the Wii does not find it. Any tricks to this? Using a usb flash drive
I downloaded ciso files and I couldn’t get them to work no way shape or form until all I did was rename the game to “game”, kept the “.ciso” and the game popped up. So it would be “game.ciso” inside games folder.
My game (mario sunshine) isn't showing up i made a game folder for it and for some reason it isn't showing up. Edit: i don't see the game yet when i go into my sd card i can see the game folder with the game (& game iso) inside

Im getting the error message "No FAT device found" whilst loading Ninendont ?
I followed all the steps but the games won’t show up on the Nintendont menu
Put the ISO file of the game in a folder named after the game. Then rename the ISO file "game". Then it should work
When I boot up nintendont it says it failed to work because I don’t have iOS 58 but I do. Someone help plz
