<p>Visit the <a target="_blank" href="index.html">main site</a> and select your game version from the dropdown

<p>Note: JP 1.0 and JP 1.1 both use the same ID (GMSJ01). To identify if you own JP 1.0 or 1.1 check the back

|
|
|
|
|
<p>This is not a practice code related issue. You have the following options if that happens to you:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Restart Nintendont until the game launches (usually takes a few attempts).</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Connect your Wii to the internet before launching Nintendont.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Wait around 30 seconds on the game selection screen before booting the disc.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Reinstalling homebrew may fix this issue permanently.</li>

|
|
|
<h3 id="3.3"><a href="#3.3">3.3 The game launches but the codes don't work</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This can have multiple reasons:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>You don't have cheats enabled: See <a href="#2.3">2.3</a> for details.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>You're using an obsolete version of Nintendont. Make sure you use version 4.434 or newer.</li>
|
2019-04-19 07:56:25 +09:00
|
|
|
<li>Your cheatfile has the wrong name: Make sure the file is named "GMSE01.gct", "GMSJ01.gct" or "GMSP01.gct".
|
|
|
|
|
It won't work with names like "GMSE01 (1).gct". Nintendont is very picky!</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Your cheatfile is at the wrong location: Make sure the file is in the "codes" folder of your SD Card.
|
2020-02-16 08:42:56 +09:00
|
|
|
Again, the folder has to be named "codes" (See sample folder structure in <a href="#2.2">section 2.2</a>).
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a "games"
|
2019-04-19 07:56:25 +09:00
|
|
|
folder, make sure there's no file with the same name in it or its subfolders.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Your cheatfile is too big: Using too many codes at once can cause Nintendont to disable them since the used
|
|
|
|
|
space in the game is limited. Make sure you don't have two incompatible codes selected when downloading the
|
|
|
|
|
cheatfile (for example "Level Select", "Fast Any%" and the Stage loader cannot be used
|
|
|
|
|
simultaneously).<br /><br /><i><b>Note: If you're using Nintendont 4.434 or newer you don't have to worry
|
|
|
|
|
unless your file is bigger than 8KB.</b></i></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>If you have a USB drive connected and use disc, make sure you select the device that contains the cheats
|
|
|
|
|
for your disc.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>If you use an ISO your cheat file and ISO must be on the same device (both on the SD card or both on the
|
|
|
|
|
USB drive).</li>

<p>The Cheat Manager is a homebrew application that allows you to generate GCTs on your Wii. This way you don't
|
|
|
|
|
have to redownload your cheatfile everytime you want a different combination. However, you're gonna have to use
|
|
|
|
|
a Wiimote to control the application</p>

2018-01-20 05:18:18 +09:00

<h3 id="4.1"><a href="#4.1">4.1 Setup</a></h3>
|
2019-04-19 07:56:25 +09:00
|
|
|
<p>You can download the Cheat Manager from <a target="_blank" href="http://wiibrew.org/wiki/CheatManager"
|
|
|
|
|
title="CheatManager - WiiBrew">WiiBrew</a>. Unzip the archive and copy the contents into the "<i>apps</i>"
|
|
|
|
|
folder of your SD card.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Using the generator on the <a target="_blank" href="index.html">main site</a>, select all the codes you want to
|
|
|
|
|
have available on the cheat manager and choose "<i>Cheat Manager TXT</i>" as file format instead of
|
|
|
|
|
"<i>GCT</i>" to download a text file formatted for use with the cheat manager. Create a "<i>txtcodes</i>"
|
|
|
|
|
folder in the root of your SD card if there is none and copy the generated text file into that folder. The name
|
|
|
|
|
of the text file doesn't matter if you use this application, since the games ID is stored in the textfile.</p>
|
2018-01-20 05:18:18 +09:00
|
|
|
<h3 id="4.2"><a href="#4.2">4.2 Using the Cheat Manager</a></h3>
|
2019-04-19 07:56:25 +09:00
|
|
|
<p>Launch the cheat manager and grab your Wiimote. Navigate to your textfile using the DPad and select it with
|
|
|
|
|
"<i>A</i>". On the following screen press "<i>+</i>" to activate and "<i>-</i>" to deactivate a cheat.</p>
|
2018-01-20 05:18:18 +09:00
|
|
|
<br />
|
2019-04-19 07:56:25 +09:00
|
|
|
<p>After activating your desired codes press "<i>1</i>" to generate the GCT file. The cheatmanager then creates
|
|
|
|
|
the GCT file in your "<i>codes</i>" folder, overwriting the old one if there's already a GCT with the same
|
|
|
|
|
name. If you now launch the game with cheats active the new codes will be loaded.</p>

<p>Select the "<i>Gecko-Codes</i>" tab in the game properties and check all the codes you want to be active.
|
2019-04-19 07:56:25 +09:00
|
|
|
Most (but not all codes) will work with Dolphin. However, Dolphin has a code limit which is reached rather
|
|
|
|
|
quickly. So if your game crashes right after it starts, you probably have too many codes active simultaneously.
