[grossaffe]

And 3 years later Nintendont is the de facto standard for GC loading and Devolution and tuedji faded into obscurity. Way to go bro hahaha

Don't be that guy.

Despite that being true, there's still things that devolution can do that nintendont can't.

Does Devolution have the games at the same place as Nintendont? Devolution doesn't detect my games, though they are modded. I'll try unmodded versions and see if that works.

Devolution is dead; use Nintendont

@julialy But Devolution has BBA support, and I wanna try that with Xlink Kai.

i believe you didn't read the first post?

How to use it
Devolution requires clean 1:1 disc images (use cleanrip for best results). For the example loader to find them, they must have a .iso file extension and be placed in the /games directory. Use a gamecube controller in port 1 to choose whether to use USB or SD, then press up and down on the D-PAD to cycle through the available .ISO files. Press A to launch a game and after a little while the disc slot should start periodically doing 2 flashes.

When the slot is doing 2 flashes it means it wants the original disc inserted. If you put the wrong disc in it will spit it out. Once the correct disc is inserted it will be verified, the slot will flash 5 times and hopefully a short time later the game will start. You only need to verify each disc once, after that you should be able to start the game without needing the disc at all. If it keeps looping over the read/verify disc->five flashes procedure then the .ISO file probably doesn't match the disc properly - re-rip it making sure it's a 1:1 image.
If the game uses multiple discs, do not attempt to load disc 2 directly - Devolution will always start the game using disc 1 only.

not to mention you require the original discs to verify, devolution has a anti piracy thing, which requires you to own the original disc and it verifies it in the first boot

Oh. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for Nintendont to support it (which they won't).

@migles hey, I found my copy of MKDD. Can I use Devolution now?

which is?

sure, make a copy using cleanrip, launch devolution and it will verify and let you play the backup version
the verification is only needed in the first launch...

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

Currently, Nintendont doesn't have BBA emulation. @naddel81

@migles CleanRip keeps giving me a "Unrecovered read error" for no reason. I don't know if it's my disc (even know it seems to work fine) or is it the gc.dat I have in the root of my USB.

did you tried to update the gc.dat? its a known issue that trying to update it will break the program.
you can ignore that file IIRC it's just the md5 list to check if you got a good dump. you can always use later a pc to verify it was dumped correctly

try to dump to other device, you can dump it to the front sd card or usb, i recomend front sd if you got the room

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

So I don't need it? Ok.

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

@migles CleanRIp keeps giving me "Unrecovered read error" and "Write Error". I don't know what's wrong.

do you have those old wiis that can read gc discs?

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

@pedro702 Yea, lol.

 

[pedro702]

@pedro702 Yea, lol.

well for some reason cleanrip cant rip it, maybe you have a crappy sd card or maybe the dol itself is bad.

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

@pedro702 I don't even dump games to SD(, it's only 2 gigs). And the dol itself can't be bad either because then it wouldn't even work.

Like FancyNintendoGamer567 said it is missing BBA emulation. It is also missing wired xbox 360 controller support which devolution also has.
