Any chance you could send them to me as well? I attempted and docker just wouldn't function properly for me. I'd appreciate it. I'm just trying to see if a gamecube style controller I have that doesn't work with nintendont will give me some results with this.
What is that controller/what does it show up as/how does it connect? Devo's controller support is a lot more limited than Nintendont's, but it does support USB Xinput and the official Wii U GC adapter. If it doesn't show up as either of those, it probably won't work.

It shows up in Windows as an Xbox 360 wired controller with pid/vid 045e/028e. I attempted to use the xbox360 version of nintendont but that didn't seem to work as the buttons don't seem to match the controller profile that is in there. I tried to create one myself but was unsuccessful in any attempt. I really have no idea what brand this actually is as I bought it used for 5 dollars a couple of years ago.

It looks just like this one without the Nyko logo.

I would love to try this but I use Windows 7 and Docker no longer supports it.

Is there any other way to do this besides using Linux? Has anyone thought about an xdelta patch for the original loader boot.dol?

That could actually work then.

Am I the only one secretly hoping to see tueidj comment on this thread? I got no idea what kind of response he would have, but I got a feeling it would be entertaining, lol
he hasnt logged in since 2017 so i doubt he will ever see this lol or even care, i guess he moved on with life.

I did get the program working but the sadly the controller I believe is actually detected by the wii as a switch pro controller so it doesn't appear to work properly with either this or nintendont. On another note I did get this to launch isos from the app itself but using a forwarder such as usb loader gx and it is still requesting the game disk. I did run the iso through the keygen and the dvv file is in gc_devo folder but didn't help. Not sure if I have something misconfigured on my sd card or what might be the cause.

I'm sure it would. Now I'm bummed that he probably won't. I would really rub it in how so much of his precious code was opened up against his will and there's nothing he can do about it.
I don't get why people are still scarred of him.

Well, I have a problem with certain groups compromising a system's drm with their own, wannabe devs and hackers hiding information or not releasing relevant files in order to make themselves seem superior, and massive leeching and entitlement. Those are the three biggest problems with the scenes imo.

what can devolution do, that Nintendont cant do.
Bluetooth connection of dualshock controllers (from Pair my DS3/DS4 homebrew) that can and should be integrated with a Pull request into Nintendont but no one seems to care enough.

Besides that one Feature Nintendont does everything better than Devolution. The main purpose of cracking it is to undermine the Anti-Piracy that Tueidj was so fond of in all his apps.

Along with the controller stuff, slightly better handling of the memory card slots, e.g. using an emulated memory card with a real GC mic (and iirc doesn't Nintendont also prefer smaller virtual memory cards? devo handles the full 16MB kind no problem).

im sowwy im still a bit confuse how to install with docker, im kinda new with dis
How to install docker? It probably works with just normal windows, but I think docker requires wsl version 2, which you can enable in powershell. You can even have all wsl be version 2 by default. I think windows 11 already does this or so I've heard. Then, enable it under wsl integration. In both cases, windows and Linux, I think you need to setup devkitpro.
