====Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont==== | Triforce BIOS is also supported and must be extracted from the appropriate game discs. Different versions can be found depending on the game: | ||
* 2.15.0 (SHA1: a2306142ad992ec204e896c65513819536c5bcf8) from the first Triforce Firmware Update Disc (GDT-0011) | |||
* 2.17.0 (SHA1: a3eabb012db09092300e796f5e2239973ce7b978) from Virtua Striker 4 (GDT-0013 and GDT-0015) | |||
* 3.01.2 (SHA1: 61aa40edbd179fe295850946639e2a4b33636b58) from Virtua Striker Ver. 2006 (GDT-0020 and GDT-0021) | |||
* 3.11.2 (SHA1: 418411ee45a96d2ce585c3940a37608c491142ce) from the second Triforce Firmware Update Disc (GDT-0022), also sometimes labeled Triforce Firmware Update For Compact Flash Box (4.01) | |||
Extracting the file differs per game, but you will need a program like GCRebuilder to extract the file from the game disc. | |||
For the first Triforce Firmware Update Disc, extract the file <code>segaboot.img01</code> and delete the first 1048576 bytes in a hex editor so the file starts with the string <code>GCAM</code>. | |||
For Virtua Striker games, extract <code>firm/segaboot.img1</code>. | |||
For the second Triforce Firmware Update Disc, extract <code>segaboot.img1</code>. | |||
Once you have this file, place it in the appropriate path: | |||
# Rename the BIOS file to <code>segaboot.bin</code>. | |||
# Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on. | |||
# Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF. | |||
=== Memory Cards === | |||
By default, games will be given their own memory cards in the <code>saves</code> folder on the storage device Nintendont is installed on. If the Memcard Multi option is enabled, every NTSC/PAL game will share one memory card named <code>ninmem.raw</code> while NTSC-J games save to <code>ninmemj.raw</code>. A second memory card can be mounted if another valid memory card file is present and appropriately named. This second card must be named <code>(game id)_b.raw</code>, <code>ninmemb.raw</code>, or <code>ninmemjb.raw</code> depending on which first-slot card would be read. If both cards combined would be above 16 megabytes, the slot B card will not be loaded. | |||
Saves can be extracted, injected, or otherwise managed in the Dolphin Emulator's memory card manager. | |||
==== Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont ==== | |||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest HIDTest] to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont. | By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers.
