Your speculation is pointless. Devolution already works on the WiiU. There are only 2 issues. First off all, controllers. tueidj has already said he planned on supporting Wiimotes, we just have to wait for it to happen. Secondly, the disc verification. This is an artificial limitation to block piracy. tueidj likely won't remove that restriction without coming up with a new system of some kind, but that doesn't change the fact that Devolution works on the WiiU. This is not a matter of speculation, it is a fact.

tueidj has shown that he is interested in both the WiiU and continuing work on Devolution. That would lead me to believe that we'll see Wiimote support eventually, but it's entirely up to tueidj. The more difficult hurdle is the fact that he has always been staunchly anti-piracy, and is unlikely to publically release an update allowing games to be run on the WiiU until he has implemented a new method for authenticating the original games in a way that satisfies his wishes to avoid promoting or aiding piracy. Regardless of how you feel about the anti-piracy measures, there is little that can be done about them, and the fact that Devolution works as well as it does is reason enough for me to be willing to support the precautions taken to maintain legality in what is otherwse a very gray area. My point was that tueidj has already shown a proof-of-concept that Devolution runs on the WiiU. It obviously required some modifications for the same reasons that d2x required updates to run on the vWii (changes to the IOSes), but he's already figured it out and gotten it working, so despite needing more work to add Wiimote support, saying "It won't work" is just ignorant.

most of the discussion in this thread was before the WiiU was even released so I don't think you can call them "ignorant"

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
