Hacking Devolution - Public Release

[raulpica]

Off-topic removed. This thread is about Devolution, guys.

 

[Etheboss]

Thanks again for this program. Just checked the latest build and all of my games work great except for Tiger Woods 95.

Here is the log for it, and if that doesn't help I can send you a copy if it makes a difference. I have two.

Yep, i already added that game to the Devo compatibility list and mentioned it way back here in the thread.
And also with a log. Thanx for confirming it.

 

[tueidj]

2005 makes a bit more sense than 95.

 

[Etheboss]

Yeah, just noticed 95, helaciouscrumb must have meant 2005.

 

[helaciouscrumb]

Oops....

As a side note, I was just playing Star Wars Rogue Leader and at the beginning of the Hoth mission it will reboot me back to the Homebrew Channel. I'll try and rerip it tonight as I see the wiki says it works and if that doesn't help I'll get a log of that. Thanks again!

 

[Disorarara]

EDIT: Nevermind, I took the time to read the thread and realized my question was already answered.

 

[thevoiceover]

I haven't been reading much of the thread because it's quite a doozy, but I understand it supports modem emulation and thus online play. There is a piece of Gamecube homebrew out there that you may have heard of, it's from 'Fuzziqer Software' and it allowed for some Gamecube games to be played online (originally this homebrew needed a modem adapter which rendered it useless on the Wii) You can find videos of it being used on YouTube, the most common game being played was SSBM (It supports about 6 games) I would like to know if there's anyway to load Gamecube homebrew on Devolution, and if so it's very likely this progra m will work and might revitalize online gamecube play.

I've requested this a couple of times and no reply, so I m assuming the answer is no... Many people want to have GC items running atfull wii speed, this would make for things to be way more interesting, NGC on some roids (musclenerd come this way..)

Looks like we're stuck with strictly gaming from HDD only.. Cheers.

 

[tueidj]

I already said homebrew won't work due to it talking to the GC hardware in completely different ways than what Devolution can handle.

 

[Disorarara]

Wouldn't something like SDload work in theory? I'm kind of confused on how games work but homebrew doesn't

Whoops, I meant SD media launcher

He just said, homebrew talks to the hardware completely differently to commercial software. I would be led to assume from that that the homebrew SDK was very different to the official SDK, and hardware was accessed in different ways, and so Devolution only supports the methods used in the official SDK, not the homebrew one.

That still evades my comprehension, I would think the way programs access the hardware would be irrelevant so long as it was the same hardware being accessed.

Nevermind, I thought it over and I guess it makes sense when you consider how Gamecube games are even running under Wii mode to begin with.

 

[tueidj]

So I started out today trying to fix Pokemon XD, managed to find the problem but not the cause but at the same time it also pinpointed the issue causing the random lock-ups in Super Mario Sunshine, so I can at least add a workaround for that.

 

[EzekielRage]

Alright, now THAT is fantastic news. Maybe tha also helps F-Zero

 

[tueidj]

Also started looking into a reported memory card emulation issue with WTA Tour Tennis and found this: http://www.nintendo....orycard1019.jsp

WTA Tour Tennis:
The game does not recognize the Memory Card 1019 properly, and should not be used. We suggest using a Memory Card 59 or 251 with this game.

Also relevant:

Disney Sports: Skate Boarding:
The game does not recognize the Memory Card 1019 properly, and should not be used. We suggest using a Memory Card 59 or 251 with this game.

I tested WTA Tour Tennis with an emulated 59 block card and it worked without any issues. I have updated the list to reflect this.

 

[biolizard89]

Am I correct in inferring from your statement that emulating the USB Gecko via a TCP socket (similar to how Dolphin handles it) would thus be impossible? It would be quite nice to debug GameCube games over WiiRd without needing a USB Gecko. Oh well....

Ah, that explains it... I was trying it with a third party 2043 block (x32) memory card.

With regard to the whole off-topic "WiiU has a Power7/Enhanced Broadway CPU" thing that was mostly removed: https://twitter.com/...820933618442240

Pardon the error. It's a custom chip built on Power Architecture base

IBMWatson admitted it was a mistake saying it was Power7, basically confirms it's a modified Broadway CPU, cites the original PR release.

 

[KingMuk]

Didn't even know this was released already....O___O Must of been over the Wii U hype
