Good day, GBATemp team.
This is my first post and I'm glad to bring a quick tutorial about how to setup Wiiflow along with Devolution, and also how to setup up multi-disc games and the memory card dump.
First things first.
1) You need a softmodded Wii U vWii (or Wii) with Homebrew Channel and the respective cIOS for the console.
2) A SD card.
3) Wiiflow app
4) Devolution app.
PART 1: ENABLING DEVOLUTION IN WIIFLOW.
I will start by assuming you have Wiiflow and Devolution working separately.
Just one quick reminder, if Devolution (alone) is not reading your GC isos, be sure they are in the "usb:/games" folder, and NOT under a sub-folder. I'll get deeper into this in a while.
Download the source package from this link:
http://www.tueidj.net/gc_devo_src.zip
After download, go into the "data" folder and copy the "loader.bin" file to the following location:
"sd:/wiiflow"
After this, load Wiiflow and go to Settings. Once there, change the GC loader from Auto MIOS to Devolution. After this change, the GC games icon along any games you had in the games folder of your HDD should appear right now.
Now you should be able to run your GC games from Wiiflow.
PART 2: MULTI-DISCS GAMECUBE GAMES IN DEVOLUTION.
Remember I mentioned putting the isos into the /games folder?
Now we are explaining this in detail.
You see, if you put the isos in sub folders, Devolution by itself will not recognize them and will throw an error.
Only if you put them in the usb:/games directory strictly, they will appear in Devolution, BUT if you have Devolution enabled in Wiiflow, any games put into subfolders will appear in the Wiiflow menu.
To make multi-disc games work, you must put the disc 1 iso in the games directory, leaving the disc 2 iso in a folder (i.e. Resident Evil folder with just the disc2.iso file, while the disc 1 iso or "game.iso" file is in usb:/games).
It doesn't matter if you rename the isos, Devolution will still detect them as long as they are in the right directory. Just be sure to leave all the disc2 isos untouched and each one inside a different folder, meaning that you should NOT rename any disc 2 iso or have two of them in the same folder (as one iso would replace the other due to name match).
Now that all the disc 1 isos are in the 'games' folder, start validating them as you would with any other Gamecube game, multi-disc games require only verification of the first disc, not both.
Don't forget to move back the disc 1 iso to the folder where disc 2 iso is before, since both isos need to be in the same folder to load properly.
Once verified, launch Wiiflow, both discs should appear now.
Now play all the way up to where a disc switch is asked, and when it does, you have two options to switch discs:
a) Press the eject button on the console.
b) Press Minus+D-Pad Up on the Wiimote.
Doing any of the two should change the game disc automatically.
But how do I get to the disc swap part of the game without saving?
This is where memory card emulation comes into play.
PART 3: MEMORY CARD EMULATION.
Download GCMM 1.4b from the following link:
http://code.google.com/p/gcmm/downloads/list
Download the latest revision (v1.4b) into your apps folder.
Insert your Gamecube memory card in slot A and run GCMM. Select SD by pressing A and now you want to perform a Raw Dump of the memcard. Press B+Minus to perform the dump.
Once done, a file will be created inside the folder "MCBACKUP" in the SD root with a file as .raw as its extension.
This is the file we want.
Copy this file to the following directory:
"usb:/apps/gc-devo"
Note that the directory is in the USB and NOT in the SD card if you are playing from a HDD.
To finish this, open Wiiflow once again and click on any GC game, go to its Settings and enable Devolution Memcard Emulation. That should do the trick!
THAT'S IT!
You're ready to enjoy your Gamecube games, being them multi-disc or not, with Widescreen options and Memcard emulation!
Any questions about any step, don't forget to ask.
NOTE: I made this tutorial from the Wii U Pad, so when I get the chance to use a PC, I'll update it properly
