Hacking Devolution - Public Release

[Dimensio]

Is there a way to convert saves from a memory card to Devolution's memory card emulation?

I used GCMM. I used the raw backup option, then I renamed the resulting file (which was some long string that ended in .RAW) to "memcard.bin" and I replaced the Devolution-generated memcard.bin file with it. All of my saves seem to be intact.

EDIT: If a game does not work on Wii U, delete the .dvv file on the usb drive in the apps folder coresponding to the game you are trying to load. It's how I got Melee and Heroes to work.

I deleted the Resident Evil DVV file. The game still will not load on my Wii U.

Thanks for the Memory Card tip!
And about the loading, you'll have to verify it again to make it work.

Is there currently any way to force run Mega Man X collection on TVs that don't support 240p natively? I know Dios Mios shows a black screen (well, the splash screen is 480i, but the games themselves are 240p) with this game unless I have a TV that can scale the signal. So far, only my parent's Sony Bravia HDTV runs it. Can anyone confirm this?

Unless, Vizio TVs don't support this game at all....?

Any chance to have this (or any other app) working on non-retrocompatible Gamecube Wii's?

It needs to be a FAT partition

I did nothing different and it managed to load for me, but the button mapping didn't change at all.

Your Plug-In that defaults the display to Widescreen does work for me though.

where do you get the latest rXXX version of Devolution? is tueidj's link at the beginning of this thread being updated? my rogue squadron 3 isn't working. the compatibility list says it should with r197. how do i make sure that is what i'm using?

And it worked. Thanks. Now all of my GC games are playable on my Wii U.

The link in the first post always link to the latest version.

It depends on your modchip. Very few modchips works with devolution. You need to try to see if it works, users can't tell you.

I don't have any modchips, all I have is a softmod.

As I own the newer version of the Wii, the one that has no compatibility of GameCube games, I know that it still has a GC controller port, if you unscrew it at the back. If I do so, and insert my GC controller, will it work? When I boot Devolution, I'm asked to press GameCube buttons to proceed on and blah blah blah.

Later model Wiis (Family Edition, but not the WiiMini) have the space on the PCB for a GameCube controller port but lack the controllers. If you solder a controller port onto the board it'll work but there's no panel with a port hiding behind it.

Even the first Wii that has no GC compatibility?

No. Why would they? The whole reason for eliminating backwards compatibility is that you save money by decreasing component costs. Why would they include all the hardware but disable the features if it still cost the same amount to manufacture?

Hi, i am very new here and my english is bad. My question is: This system is compatible with Classic Controller pro?

Bueno me gustaría poder hacer una pregunta mas elaborada pero mi nivel de ingles es bastante bajo, Ojala alguien me pueda aclarar la respuesta por que vengo de una pagina anexa y decía que a futuro seria compatible con Wiimotes y eso. Con mi poco conocimiento de ingles intente leer los comentarios anteriores y se mencionaba el CC Pro varias veces y solo quiero verificar si esto es verdad. Eso y gracias. Bye

Yes, with the latest rev (r200) Classic controller and classic controller pro are compatible with devolution.
Si, con la ultima versión los controles clásicos pro y no pro son compatibles con Devolution.

You need a Classic controller connected to the Wiimote or a PS3 or Wii U Pro controller connected in order to play. You'll notice the light on the Wiimote just flashes. That means it's not activated (so you can't play any actual games with those buttons) and it won't let you switch to being activated without one of those controllers connected.

DANG IT! I thought this topic was just being inactive, but I just found out that I'm not getting email notification again, and it's not just getting marked as spam like last time. >_< Now I have a 4 to 5-page backlog to read...

ANYWAY, as someone that does not own a Wii U nor has even touched a Wii U, I was wondering if the Wii U's 720p/1080p upscaling still applies to GameCube games in Devolution that didn't support progressive scan, such as TimeSplitters 2.

 

[drakorex]

Random thought. Has anyone tried any other peripherals with devo? (fight stick, logitech wheel, etc)

Does this happen with composite, aka the yellow video cable?
