Hacking Devolution - Public Release

[Taleweaver]

EDIT: forgot to mention: once ingame, there are some video glitches as well. Parts of the level that become uncolored as you get past, the scoreboard is pretty much unreadable, and things like that (I mentioned it on the compatability list).

It's because your TV doesn't support non-interlaced mode over component cables, nothing to do with Devolution. Not sure why you'd put it on the compatibility list when the disc channel has the exact same behaviour...

I'm mentioning the video glitches. Those don't happen if I play the game plain old retail-style.

notes = Issues with component cable. With regular cable, it has some drawing issues

 

[Taleweaver]

Point taken. I've changed it to

Issues with component cable (on a TV that doesn't support non-interlaced mode -> not devolution-related). With regular cable, it has some drawing issues


That better?

@[member='tueidj']: Where do I get R104? The Link in the first post gives me a version of Monday 23rd July - at least according to the timestamp in the ZIP. The XML states V1.0

 

[tueidj]

Ignore the XML, I can't be bothered updating it all the time. The loader shows the revision number when it starts.

Devolution is a good pieces of software :
I can play again Super Mario Sunshine.

My Super Mario CD was striped.
By downloading a rip, and after the devolution's check, I can play it again.

I've also been able to rip my GC card (official, 251 blocks) and implement it on memcard.bin

Great job

Ap or not Ap that's the question!

 

[lex luthor]

Devolution is a great application and I love it. Thanks Tueidj for it.

Most of my friends lend me their GC games most of them with Audio Stream. I ripped them, verified them and gave them back. Thanks to Devolution now I can play those games on my HDD whenever I want and with the full feautures! Thanks Tueidj for this!

Ap or not Ap that's the question!

No it's not. There is AP in Devolution. It is not to be discussed in this thread (there is another one for that). There is no question at all.

 

[jos90]

Maybe is just a stupid question, but how is the wiimote's support proceeding?

 

[AppleCrow]

I believe that in some way, it's a GC controller emulation that runs on background.

By accessing wii hardware, GC games can gain access to wiimote hardware.
Wii pad can be mapped to emulate GC pad.

In the "easiest way" Wii classic controller can be mapped (enough buttons and sticks, similar positions, ...).

In a long long time, we can pray for wiimote + nunchuk + gyro mapping (ex.: geist playable as metroid prime 3, Zelda WindWaker : sword slash by wiimote swapping, ...).
Easy to type, harder to code ...

Does anybody know if Smuggler's Run Warzones works with Devolution?

Do certain HDDs still get corrupted sectors/clusters from using this?

No is not working properly it has sound issues and the game runs faster than normal.
oh by the way tried it with the latest r104

 

[the_randomizer]

Guess I'll look for an answer elsewhere.

Stop trolling, bugging me you come here at every turn wondering the same thing.

I only know 2 people to which "supposedly" Devo corrupted their HDDs, one came here and throw an image of dubious origin, without even going into details of how it happened which means (for me) he was just lying, the other person not even reported the issue in this thread, and even he is a programmer and knowing how this works not even worry to give details here of how it happened. At least for me it's like they never happened.

 

[Etheboss]

Oh right. The sample loader now initializes the network (which is causing the extra delay) and sends logs over wifi if a USB gecko isn't found (other loaders won't do it unless they add support for it - see the source code). If you want to receive the logs on your PC, get something like netcat and listen for UDP broadcast traffic on port 64444. So for example the netcat command line you would use would be "nc -l -p 64444 -u". If your wii's IP address changes regularly you'll need to restart netcat each time, since once it receives a message it will only show other messages from that same IP address.

Please can you post this also on the first page, i had a hard time finding this instruction..again..

I also would like to report a game: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 (G5TP69)

I tried it with the sample loader R104)
It loads, but when you see the EA logo, the sound is garbled.
The game also lets me create a savegame (emulated).
After that it is stuck on the screen where it says loading...i pressed the power button after waiting a few minutes.

[Bryon15]

Had you set GC mode to Devolution instead of DIOS MIOS?
Do you use Memory Card Emulation ("On" or "Individual")?
Which are the games that don't work (with Region Information, please)?

for example: "Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life" works perfect in the Devolution Sample Loader, but in USB Loader GX it only resets the Wii and didn't play

That's okay man. This is too much trouble. I tried a few more games and some were asking to be verified again. I just went back to using the sample loader. I also had to go back to USB loader GX r1191 because r1200 doesn't load games from DML without there being a disc in. Don't know why.
