Exactly, thats even the second usb loader for gamecube games, now we have Devolution and DIOS-MIOS.

With a tiny "little" difference:

This one requires always that you have the game disc you want to play in the drive.

























right?

right?

No, only the first time you run the iso, for verification. after that you dont need the disc.

Borrow and varify, then give back to mates

So, everytime I try to play a new game, I must have it on disc?
Well, still is too late sinve I already burned a dvd in order to try that game...

 

[KiiWii]

Burned copies wont work. You need originals. use the original once for verification. It's an anti piracy measure.

Sonic Mega Collection verified correctly and runs beautifully.
Super Smash Bros. Melee loops on the 5 lights.

 

[Keylogger]

An anti-piracy measure for GameCube (or any old video game console) is useless! Because we can't find NGC games anymore and Nintendo doesn't make any profit

 

[KiiWii]

Just buy the ones you want for audio streaming

[KiiWii]

Are .DVV files perconsole? what is to stop people sharing them?

 

[wiismodrome]

Any ideas on why Rogue Leader wouldn't work?

 

[tueidj]

Rogue Leader does work.

 

[daxtsu]

I can confirm SSBM 1.0 NTSC now works with the r94 build of devolution. Thanks Tueidj!

@[member='tueidj'],
Just curious, are you able\willing to share your plans to eventually support the horizontal Wii's (i.e. how to verify images without being able to read GC discs)? Is it safe to assume that users would need to verify the games on an older model Wii before being able to play them on a horizontal Wii? Thanks again dude.

Thanks for asking, i was thinking about the same thing and was gonna ask

Can anyone answer my question?

really dude? you demand an answer after no one answering you for 20 minutes?

Horizontal wii can read GC games just like all other wii's, they are just lacking the memory card and controller ports.

I think it would be cool to see a different method of AP. For the new drives that spit out gamecube discs, and for other wiis with failed drives.

They can read gc games just fine. failed drives .....well they are broken so get them fixed.

The point of a USB/SD solution is to become independent from disc drives and physical media, and thus avoid the problems associated with them (like disc drives breaking and discs becoming unreadable). Why would I seek out somebody to fix my drive and pay them money, spend time learning to fix it myself and buy parts, or buy a new Wii; just so that I can use the very solution to my problem (which, if I fixed it, would no longer be a problem needing a solution).

Devolution is not intended to be a solution to broken drives.

But it just as easily could be, to no inconvenience for the author, which is why I was knocking his poor decision to limit the functionality of his program.

Hmmm... will try again.... Star Fox Adventures, Eternal Darkness, etc... were working fine... but not Rogue Leader. Will try again with the new build. Using 1:1 CleanRip v1.0.5.

I ripped it directly with WiiFlow, like I did with Sonic Mega Collection.
