Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
The newest version uses NAND as a means for virtual memory for a performance boost, as I just found out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since NAND has a limited no. of reads and writes, this will only serve to wear out the limited no. of read/write times that much faster, would it not?. Is there a performance gain in Hybrid Heaven, what about the ladder climbing bug?

Don't turn on your Wii, you'll wear out the NAND.

How does just turning on your Wii write anything to the NAND?Extrems wrote:Don't turn on your Wii, you'll wear out the NAND.
Anyway, I'm somewhat confused about what this new function does. Does it load large roms into the NAND due to a lack of RAM on the Wii?

Previously, large ROMs were swapped out from the source.Nintendo Maniac 64 wrote:Anyway, I'm somewhat confused about what this new function does. Does it load large roms into the NAND due to a lack of RAM on the Wii?
Using NAND reduces latency and improves reliability.
It also allow for larger compressed ROMs.

Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
So uh... it is impossible to read from the rom directly on USB and/or SD?
Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
If this has already been addresssed, please point me in the right direction. There has been an issue going on with the D-Pad emulation on the Classic Controller. The Right direction also activates the bottom C button when pressed. Is there a fix for this? It's been going on since the official release of Wii64 and it makes any game that requires the D pad nearly impossible to play. A fix for this would be greatly appreciated since I now only own a Wii-U and no longer have the option of using a GC controller. Thanks!

Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
In the name of almost every Not64 user, I thank you, Extrems, for keeping this emulator alive and tgrying to depure and polish the code to make more games a little more playable.
Since the official one seems to be in an hibernation state, this one is the only updates we get, and I am really thankful for that.
Keep up the good work, Extrems.

Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
Seconded!
Thanks to extrems (and the wii64 team) for all the progress they have accomplished so far.

That "and the wii64 team" bit was a joke right? They haven't updated the damn thing in over two years. Surely, all your credit should go to extrems and not the Wii64 team.

Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
No, i'm not joking. It would be disrespectful (from my part at least) not to recognize their original work. They provided the foundation, which Extrems has done a stellar job improving so far.

Let me write it down on the Book of Extrems, Chapter 13, Versicle 23.
"And the fans and people of the Wii community were outraged, furious without the word of their Gods, and so their same Gods answered back with fuel to the fire, invigorating their rage and igniting an awful war."

Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
So I presume that applies to WiiSX as well, and therefore that means Classic Controller Pro support hasn't been fixed yet?emu_kidid wrote:we've made improvements, just nothing worthy of a release, you know how it goes!
Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
CC Pro support being the joystick issues? Those were fixed in libOGC so that's automatically "fixed" by definition when we make a new release.
WiiSX received improvements behind the scenes but not nearly as many as wii64 has.

Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
Yes, the joystick issues. To me that would seem like enough to make a bugfix release, like x.x.1 release.
Re: Not64 - an experimental modification
True, the problem is our changes were made in bulk and a few things would be less stable than the released code/etc.
