Coding and making is great fun. At Bytes N Bits I'll show you how to code your own games and build your own electronic projects. I want to make it fun to learn so I don't use standard 'lessons' where you simply study a single topic. Each project leads you through the complete process of programming or making a real game or device. On the way you'll learn all the tips and techniques you need so that you can start creating your own masterpieces.

Make sure you also check out my website at bytesnbits.co.uk for more information and help.

Excelente video, it's so well explained that who is watching can also understand what is happening and why, and not just follow the instructions. You've done a very good job in making that guide into a tutorial video!! I just hacked my DSi following this tutorial and it works great, but there is only one game that I tested that is not working, even with Unlaunch, that is Donkey Kong Country (USA) for SNES. I tested other SNES games (such as Super Mario World and Chrono Trigger) that works good, so I wonder if it's just a DK ROM issue.

@BytesNBits
@BytesNBits 4 дня назад
It sounds like you've got a mismatch between your Mame version and romset version. Make sure you download a romset where you know what version it is. When you install through Launchbox make sure it's got the right version number selected. Things should work much better. Good luck!

You can remove the X Clamp far more gently by placing a small, 3mm flat head screw driver, from above, between the post and the outer edge of the clamp and carefully levering it away from the post. Just pay close attention to how the clamp moves away from the post. You only need to do two sides then the opposite two sides will easily slide out.

Very tidy introduction. I am having an issue getting it to install. The system keeps freezing almost immediately when starting up. Usually between the two Batocera spash screens furthest I have gotten was opening the settings menu and moving down the menu a few clicks. I have tried on two different USB sticks (one very cheap and one expensive but old). I have in the past been able to run Ubuntu and a couple other OSs off them without issues like this. Is Batocera particularly demanding of read/write speeds to the point it freezes the system before I can install the ISO onto the SSD or might there be some other reason for my issue?
@BytesNBits
@BytesNBits 4 дня назад
You do need to have a reasonable USB stick for it to run smoothly, but I'm not sure if a slow drive would cause it to crash. It might be the drives have some errors on them. If you can try another drive that should answer the drive question.

These tutorials are Gold but with this one I ran into a couple of issues: 1)- Nintendont didn't save the edited settings as shown in the vide. 2)- I had issues launching the GC games from USBLoaderGX even tho I closely followed the instructions step by step (spoiler: it was because of that). So, the fixes that worked for me: 1)- if Nintendont doesnt save the setting once you edit them in the menu --> After changing the settings do not exit Nintendont! You must select a GC game without exiting Nintendont (so from it's menu), open it and start playing. Play a few minutes of it and then you can exit. If you go and check on the settings, they should not have reverted back to default. If they are back to default, just repeat the process, maybe increase the playtime. After a while it should save the new settings. If you just follow the video (12:01) the edited settings will revert back as soon as you exit Nintendont, apparently it's an issue (or feature?) that goes back a long time. 2)- if UsbloaderGX crashed after loading GC game from Nintendont --> go back into in "Loader Setting" (in the "Gamecube setting" section) and set the "Progressive Patch" to OFF, not ON (14:46). At least this is what solved it for me, if you are having a similar issue give it a try.

​​@@lorenzor7993 Sorry to hear about that, I can try but I'll need more info, without a detailed account of your exact situation I'm even more in the dark than you are. ▪︎ Did you follow step by step this guide withoud deviating from it (I need to know if we are on the same page) ? ▪︎ Have you tried running a bunch of different GC games from USBLoader or just one? It's a big maybe but there's a slim chance that one specific game is corrupted. If, instead, you tried with multiple GC games and all crashed, we can cross out that possibility. ▪︎ Do the GC games work if you run them from Nintendont ? Access Nintendont and try to play the games from there, no USBLoader involved. if they play fine that means that the issue is between USBloaderGX and Nintendont (best case scenario). Otherwise, if the games crash / won't start even when launched just from Nintendont, well that could be caused by a number of things.

@metalstorm1027 4 дня назад
​​@@lorenzor7993Yeah, it seems the issue is with USBLoaderGX ▪︎Are you using a USB drive, a USB stick or an SD Card? I've read that, for many people, similar issues were related to the kind of storage unit they were using. Some fixed it by switching from an HDD or SSD to a flash drive, others the exact opposite. I can't verify those claims as I've only ever used an SD card but it's worth keeping in mind that it may have something to do with the support you're using. Back to USBLoaderGX setting... ▪︎You can try going in the USBLoader settings, find the Custom Paths section, scroll down and check that all the relavant paths are correct, SAME exact name as your folders, no Capital letters where there shouldn't be. Set these Paths manually (by clicking on them and navigating your folders), even if they appear correct on the preview: - Homebrew Apps Path > sd:/apps/ - Main GameCibe Path > sd:/games/ - SD GameCube Path > sd:/games/ - Nintendont Loader Path > sd:/apps/Nintendont/ I use an SD Card but if you are using a USB Device I think it will be mostly the same, probably instead of the prefix "sd:" there will be a "usb:" or something similar. You can also try to: ▪︎ Turn off nintendont auto boot in USBloader gx settings. ▪︎ Change "Video Mode" in USBloader gx settings, try to select the other 2 options (force NTSC or force PAL) ▪︎ Reinstall the cIOS (but if you followed BytesNBits tutorials this should not be the issue).
