Hacking Devolution - Public Release

[Felipe_9595]

Meh, i was totally hyped until i read that i need to verify the disc via DVD :/ Sorry, going back to Dios Mios.

If you wonder, i wanted to use this to play SSB melee via usb (I still have my original disc) but my DVD drive is totally dead :/

EDIT: And seems like Melee doesnt work lol

 

[Dork]

It's working flawlessly, thank you very much!

Thanks for letting me know.
Just updated wiiflow again, now you dont need to enable any option or so to get devolution to work, just its loader.bin:
http://www.mediafire...8qjhr5wbfvdqk8d

I have two questions: Do you have a link to the mediafire storage page where you upload these new revisions? Second, is it possible for wiiflow to load from two different sources at once? I have Mario Kart Arcade GP 1 & 2 on my SD card and my GC games on my USB.

Metroid Prime 2 is working, but has rendering errors in the text.

SW RS II: Rogue Leader will not load. Devolution gives two LED flashes, then what appears to be five flashes when I insert the original GC disc. After that it just hangs with a black screen. I've tried several times, and it keeps giving the two flashes, which suggests that it has not verified the disc (which looks pretty clean).

Bug report: Devolution just exists to HBC after selecting game.

Wii serial nuber starts with LEH27. Western Digital MyPassport 500 GB usb drive. Game ripped with cleanrip.

Sorry, but this verification is not working correctly.
I have the original disc in my hand and I have the dump on my usb hdd (1:1 created with cleanrip).
But if i want to verify the original disc it always spit the disc out. -___-

edit: But in general the project is great!

That doesn't make sense. You say it hangs, but then say it keeps giving two flashes - which is it?

 

[ZombiePosessor]

Man, I'm glad to see all this shit happening with the Wii still. I'd just finished putting together my new PC, and it runs Dolphin perfectly, so I have no use for this or DML. My girl on the other hand, she'll love this. Thanks!

Does that drive show up as 2 devices on a PC? It seems to report 2 logical units but is refusing to report the sector size and capacity of the first.

Wait! you need to have the actual discs to use Devolution? I didn't see that any where in the original post and I've reread it several times because I am stuck and can't seem to get it to work and if thats the case I hope we see an update to DIOS MIOS so we can switch discs, I'm playing Baten Kaitos Origins right now and should be nearing the end of Disc 1 any day now

 

[wiismodrome]

That doesn't make sense. You say it hangs, but then say it keeps giving two flashes - which is it?

Both...

LED gives two flashes, disc is inserted for verification, then five flashes - hangs with black screen. If the Wii is powered off and Devolution reloaded, the same sequence occurs, which I repeated several times.

The disc is retail NTSC, freshly CleanRipped with v1.0.5.

Just updated wiiflow again, now you dont need to enable any option or so to get devolution to work, just its loader.bin:
http://www.mediafire...8qjhr5wbfvdqk8d

So place it where all the covers, codes, etc go in Wiiflow on the root of the SD or just on the root of the SD its self?

Where covers etc go.

I did that, the loader.bin is now where all the covers, codes, etc are for Wiiflow, I deleted the Cache folder like Fix94 said, it stooped the DSI crashing (Thanks Fix94 ) but when I try to load up a GCN game my wii just resets taking me back to the channels screen or main window when wii boots up.. So I'm not sure as to whats going on, I use both USB Loader GX and Wiiflow mod svn578, I'm using Wiiflow mod for this of course. Any hoot, I'm not sure what the problem is, all my iso's are in the games folder where they should be so I have no idea I do have DIOS MIOS installed but I don't think uninstalling it will help much based on what I'm seeing.

@Centrix:
Maybe you got the same partition problems as the other guy? You dont have a gecko to check that right?

um...can I download it? though I doubt I do because all my GCN games and Wii games run fine before this! if there was a simple way to switch discs in DIOS MIOS I wouldn't bother with Devolution than again stuff like always peeks my interest and holds my attention.

My Hard Drive has been formatted to FAT32

on the root of the hard drive I have two folders ones called "games" and the other "wbfs" I believe.

 

[tueidj]

Centrix: If you don't have the original discs you're wasting your (and our) time here anyway.

 

[Shano56]

@[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?

 

[Centrix]

ok that's all I needed to know tueidj, I didn't know I needed the original discs now that I know this thanks for all the help as usual guys...I hope DIOS MIOS will update soon at least to just add support for disc swapping and best of luck to you and your awesome project tueidj I wish you all the best!

 

[Shano56]

party

epic. PARTY

 

[LWares87]

I haven't tried this yet, but I think I might test Action Replay Max (not that there's really any point, if it isn't supported as yet and If I haven't got another game either).

 

[OriginalHamster]

Yeah here's a pick of the Disc ID: 0000000 I keep getting when I try to use Devolution on its own:

I have this same problem, I ripped my retail P.N.03 with cleanRip and store the .iso in /games on my HDD (FAT32).
BTW I have 2 partitions, FAT32 (main) and NTFS.
