I have decided to make Beta 4 public. Enough people are using it now without serious issues that I think it is safe to allow the general populace to use it. Â If you already have private beta 4, don’t bother re-downloading since this is the same file.
I will release a CLI Â client for those who want to use priiloader. In addition the entirety of the code for both the CLI and GUI versions will be released under the GPLv2 very soon.
Great job with the Ncard keep up the good work.
Would exist possibility of reducing the size of the image card for forums where there is restriction in the size.
Great job!
Great app and website ! Nintendo really should have done something similar.
Now it would be nice if you could include wiiware games “covers”too.
My Ncard 0.4 doesn’t show my Ncard on HBC, even when it show properly in the website =(
This looks cool but what IS it? I just found this site out and I can’t find a page telling what it’s about
Tunalover,
does your card update? it downloads the card from the server after updating.
luke,
you are right. I will put up more information.
the website allows you to create a wii gamer card. the homebrew on the wii will automatically update the card for you like on xbox live or PSN
Minus_273,
The app doesn’t show the [b]image[/b] with my ncard, it efectively send my info to the site, no problems with that.
I have the same problem that TunaLover. The app send correctly the info to my Ncard but its’n show on my Wii
i will investigate and try to fix this in the next beta release.
Cool
I have posted this on my blog chat, ill make a blog post later!
Good day!
Hey i downloaded the beta 4 release off of the Homebrew browser. Everytime I try to enter my password and username it says ready to log in and leaves me with a code dump about 20 seconds later. Help please?
@Dimwit0
Problem is server side; it’s been doing that since yesterday at least. The client doesn’t yet handle timeouts gracefully. Should be a temporary problem.
chris is right, it is a problem with the server not responding in time. the client is still in beta after all and i am still working on a good fix for this.
Thanks guys. I was hoping that was the problem as it is temporary. Hope to be able to get online soon
Looks great.However,for me,i have a problem.I go on it,put my username and password in,it says ready to log in,i press okay,and about a min later,it pops up saying there is an execption error.What am i soposed to do?
I have a problem. I’ve made an account and do have an active internet connection, but when I try to login nothing happens and then I get a Exception (DSI) occurred!
getting the code dump also right after i put in username and password
Umm, I’m getting a problem with my NCard. I’m using the HBC app and I keep on getting the DSI Exception error after I click “Login”. Any help?
I see that I’m not the only one having the issue of getting the Code Dump error message right after you log in. Not to mention, can’t get the thing to work with cfg loader.
For people looking for a good one to work now, go here – http://www.wiinnertag.com/ – works with cfg loader!
I am currently working on a fix for this problem. keep in mind it is a beta test and finding bugs like this is the whole point of a widescale release.
Do you happen to know the right tag lines to use with USB Loaders? Because this line – http://www.messageboardchampion.com/ncard/API/?cmd=tdbupdate&key=&game= – doesn’t work no matter which setup I use!
1. i assume you are passing the right key for the user
2. the gameid is the wii game id. This should be a 6 character title id for the game. This is how it talks to the wiitdb
Well, this is the set up for the other one -
gamercard_url = http://www.wiinnertag.com/wiinnertag_scripts/update_sign.php?key={KEY}&game_id={ID6}
gamercard_key =
- plus my gamercard_key and it works like a charm but when ever I try the one for here, cfg loader freezes when it access the one for here.
warlock, email me i can help you get this working.
E-mail has been sent! Thanks!
If anybody knows off hand on how to get this Tag to work with cfg Loader, please feel free to post it here! Thank you!
HELP!!! idownloaded the N-Card beta 4 release off of the Homebrew browser. Everytime I try to enter my password and username it says ready to log in and leaves me with a code dump about 20 seconds later. And now??
A question … is that the N-Card is linked to information contained in the Wii Book on the Wii? Because I only use original games and not work with Wiinnertag (it’s complete crap, because it only links to illegal programs), I expect the N-Card to associate information from the data of gambling (by Wii Book) of the Wii.
@T-Rex: The official client reads directly from the Wii’s message board so only works with original games. The NCard API is open though so it is possible for people to write clients that read other information.
Chris… all my games are retails (originals). I’m saying that issue of N-Card appears the dump code after login. I uninstalled and reinstalled the N-Card Client, but happens the same issue!!
It’s a bug in the network code in the client. If the server is slow to respond, which it increasingly is, the client times out. It does not handle the time-out properly and you get a code dump. It does not matter what sort of games you play and re-installing will make no difference. Sometimes it will work (it worked for me just now) and sometimes it does not. We will have to see if Minus_273 will bring out an update to fix this.
Well… Doesn’t this N-Card update automatically?? Because keep updating every time i go in the N-Card app, irritates me. The other app (Wiinnertag) is updated automatically, but that only works on illegal loaders to load illegal games, It’s bad, it’s piracy, because i only use the original games!! I prefer N-Card to sincronize my updated games… but the bad is updating manually. I want the next N-Card, that you will make the new update, make the automatic synchronization, once you connect the Wii and detect the online signal presence.
Not sure how you would go about doing this. It works for the loaders because you can put code into the loaders to send the info for the games they are loading. We know of no way to have the app run in the background and update automatically in the way you suggest.
There’s a temptative date for the next release?
I’ve yet to receive any help with this!
Glad I have WiinnerTag!
Sometimes, the N-Card sync works… in others moments, it’s late to sync or dont respond. I hope the next update of N-Card will solve the issues.
T-Rex,
I am working on fixing this problem. It is an issue with the speed the server responds. I apologize for being MIA, chris thanks for fielding questions while i was gone.
Warlock,
I have replied to you. I did so weeks ago. I gave you step by step instructions on how to get it to work and how to test it with your browser. You never replied.
I have so far ignored your attempts to promote winner tag on this thread because i do not believe in censorship. I’m not trying to compete with anyone and I’m just trying to make something the community will find useful. Please do not post any more Winnertag spam.
If for some reason you didnt get my email back in september, here it is again:
===
first step is obviously getting the key
so i would do this:
http://www.messageboardchampion.com/ncard/API/?cmd=login&username=zerocrypto&password=somepass
this returns a string. use the entire string.
that string is passed into the update command. Here i specify it should use tdb and not giantbomb and there are 2 games and the game ids. try replacing with your key. this works for me. Let me know if it doesnt work. You can try it in a browser and see it should return raving rabbits and mario galalxy
http://www.messageboardchampion.com/ncard/API/?cmd=tdbupdate&key=&count=2&game1=RMGE01&game2=RY3P41
let me know if it doesnt work.
I never did get the message. I even checked my SPAM and nothing. Oh well. But from what you are trying to tell me is that I have to enter each game ID myself in order for it to update? I have a huge collection of games for my Wii and I’m not going to take the time to do all that or am I misunderstanding this?
the game should already have a unique ID. whenever you want to sync or update the card, you just make an HTTP request that will update the card.
so when you play a game in your launcher, if you want it to immediately update, start a thread that makes the HTTP request for that one game.
the way ncard client works is when you sync it, it takes the last 5 games from the wii game play logs and pushes it out.
out of curiosity, what http library are you using?
http://wiitdb.com/
The issue I have though, is when I set it up to be used with cfg Loader, it stops my games from loading.
Hello… from yesterday to today, i tried to syncronize the N-Card, but i always see the message:
“ERROR
No games to submit”
What this message mean?
I got one better, I tried this out yesterday (just for giggles) it started to work and then told there was no key! Where’s the key go? I mean, if thing is actually going to work (for once), I’ll add it with my WiinnerTag on other sites as well. Thanks.
http://www.messageboardchampion.com/ncard/API/?cmd=tdbupdate&key=(your key goes here)&count=2&game1=RMGE01&game2=RY3P41
Perhaps I should’ve explained myself a little better. All I did was run the N-Card App in Homebrew (not through cfg Loader – it still freezes) and I got some message that there was no key. Do I need to create a text file with my key on it and if so, where do I place it?
Weird, my last message isn’t showing.
The exact error I got using the app was Login was o.k. Unable to save key.
Can you explain my last message?
Anyone can answer my last message?
Any news for a future update of N-Card?
I want news about this project too, it’s the only app that you can use direct with your retailer games =(
@TunaLover – No it’s not!
