Hacking Devolution - Public Release

[wiismodrome]

Is network logging only enabled with the standalone Devolution loader or does it log to the network when using other USB loaders as well?

It won't automatically work with other loaders, they have to add support for it I believe. But other loaders will be able to use it if they implement the code.

I asked because, in terms of security, it is not a good idea to have such information being sent out on the network. If network logging is to be used, I would prefer if it were restricted to only the standalone Devolution loader and used solely for debugging purposes.

If you can't trust the people on your local network you have bigger issues then worrying about what your wii is transmitting.

I can report that with devolution r100 MGS Twin Snakes has different USB Gecko output. It hangs on a black screen now after choosing if you want progressive video mode. but if you hit reset, it'll boot to the konami logo and hang.

When I insert Wind Waker disc after 2 blinks the Wii blinks 5 times, but then it just repeats blinking 5 times over and over again. Black screen.

Any tips?

All I would like to know is if Devolution is transmitting information over the network when not using the standalone loader, yes or no?

It'll create a blank one on startup if you use the sample loader, in /apps/gc_devo, if you don't have one already, called memcard.bin.

Yep, I find it =)
I tried with Rogue Leader, but after input my name to create the save it kick me out to HBC =/

Thanks. Same result I had....

Can you not read?

The sample loader now initializes the network (which is causing the extra delay) and sends logs over wifi if a USB gecko isn't found (other loaders won't do it unless they add support for it - see the source code).

Can you not read?

Yes, I can, quite well actually, well enough to earn a graduate degree. Thanks for asking. However, I have not read absolutely everything that is possible to read in this thread, so perhaps I might be forgiven for missing a thing or two along the way. I did ask specific questions earlier which could have clarified this issue already.

 

[tueidj]

So you don't read other people posts but expect everyone to pay full attention to yours?

No, that's not what I said. I said that perhaps I might be forgiven for the fact that I may have missed reading a few posts. On a side note, the group dynamic around here is fascinating....

Anyway... back to debugging....

"Your .ISO file isn't a clean 1:1 copy. "


Thanks for your answer. I put in the retail GC discs and used USB Loader GX to install the .ISO files on my HDD. Starfox Adventures and Luigi's Mansion work, Wind Waker doesn't.

I can try installing the game again, if you think that will do the trick. Thanks for your hard work!

Tueidj, why Devolution can not recognize original MC cards?Is it a known issue or my bad luck?

Probably because you're being a . First you tried to blame your non-working games on the AP, even though you didn't have any logs because you don't have a USB gecko. Then when I provide an alternative logging method, you claim it's a security risk even though I've already explained it won't send information outside your local network. You are not helping improve the app at all, you are simply trolling this thread.

The sample loader doesn't support real memory cards in slot A by default, unless it somehow fails to create memcard.bin. You'll need to use another loader for that(or the sample loader slightly edited.).

Did you try the loader SifJar posted?

How helpful is it when when a user of an application tells a developer that the application does not work for a certain game and the developer replies with nothing more than "the game works"? I even offered to send you the problematic disc. I have also added a number of other reports and offered assistance to a number of other users in this thread.

I'm not going to get into this much more, but I wonder, if degree of helpfulness is under scrutiny, might a mirror might be beneficial here?

Except that the only one who can actually improve this app is you and by ignoring suggestions and questions you are not helping improve the app at all, you are simply trolling people who wants to help.

With regard to security, would you allow someone else's application with complete network and security access on your own personal Wii?
