Hacking Devolution - Public Release

[SuperrSonic]

One other quick question. The hard drive needs to be Fat 32, I read somewhere once that it needs a specific cluster size, is that still true?

No, but I'm pretty sure 32 and 64 KB are the recommended sizes. I've personally used both before and don't notice a difference.

Hi

Something odd has happened with my Devolution setup. I ripped a new game via clean rip, then moved the iso into the games folder, but when I loaded up Devolution most of my games aren't showing up. There's like 6 files listed when scrolling through on Devolution.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Use Nintendont

Use Nintendont

Eh, I guess. I'd rather work out what happened with this though. It was working ok the other day, it's odd that most the games folder just isn't showing up on the list.

You're probably using left and right to scroll through the list 5 games at a time. Use up and down instead.

lol.. Yes, thats it. I can't believe I was just using the wrong button.

Thanks.

So exactly what advantages does Devo still have over Nintendont?

Seriously, I could write a decently sized list of why devo is still superior.

Write your list.

Write your list.

some ppl also forget nintendont also has advantages over devo but some ppl wish to ignore those too.

Yeah, I call bullshit on his claim lol. Denial is a very popular thing for people to resort to.

Actually, I was more fishing for info than anything. Just want to know what features Devo is still holding onto to claim "superiority" over Nintendont.

Disc verification.

Edit: Oh no wait... That's not a "feature"

Of course, because there are no advantages over Nintendont, compatibility is near perfect and you don't have to go through that AP disc verification bullshit, which IMHO, is unnecessary.

Disc verification.

Yeah, well disc verification can fuck off

I fully support Nintendont, but here the devo-exclusive features I know of:
Wireless BT controller support for non-nintendo controllers (DS3, OUYA)
Wired/Bluetooth keyboard support (Nintendont might support wired, not certain).
Wired XBOX360 controller support without an adapter
Screenshots
Image stretching to remove the black bars on the left and right of most HDTV's
Dynamic widescreen toggling in game
Forcing wireless controllers to connect to a specific controller slot
Modem emulation
Wireless debugging
Slightly more stable than Nintendont with large 16MB/128Mb memory cards (?)
Memory card image on the Wii's internal NAND (seems like a bad idea to me, but it's a feature)

I was never able to successfully launch devolution but I run nintendont with none of the problems you're reporting at all it makes my wii feel pretty much like a gamecube. Actually better.

Nintendont has DS3 support, actually, not sure if you've been following Nintendont last year or not. But many BT controllers work just fine.
Widescreen/stretching is also supported for many games
No disc verification bullshit needed, that's a big turnoff for me
Why old no-longer-being-sold games need to be verified is beyond me.

Wireless DS3 support? As in you can sync it to the Wii and play with it without a cable?
And Nintendont still doesn't support "stretched" widescreen. Regardless of the settings, There are still pillars on the left and right of the screen ranging in width depending on the game.

Discussing this in the Devo thread is not where this should be. We need a new thread if we want to discuss which is better

Also bluetooth controllers can change controller ports using the power button on the controller

LOL you obviously haven't tried SSBM in Nintendont. Devolution definitely has its flaws, I was only responding to someone who claimed it was obsolete. Well if it runs a bunch of games better then it's not obsolete, eh? It's just logic. Also don't assume things, I'm just stating facts and I don't take sides.

I won't write a list, just use what works best for you. However if someone makes a thread for it then I will contribute to it.

Widescreen/stretching is also supported for many games.

He meant being able to toggle widescreen in-game with a wiimote, and horizontal stretching, two very different things Nintendont cannot do. The stretching is for modern TVs with lower horizontal overscan, not necessarily for wide screen TVs.
