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.

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

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.


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. :P

Yeah, well disc verification can fuck off :creep:

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:lol:

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

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

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.

  • 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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
