I have launch the game via wiiflow (all my games is on usb:\games\id\game.iso)
The game start and i have insert the controller on other usb port (normal wii have only 2 usb port)

...this is not the thread for that.

Besides, I have no idea - I am not a linux guru at all.

 

[naxil]

ooopppss sorry, where is the devolution support thread?

 

[Nintendo Maniac]

Oh sorry you're in the right thread, I interpreted your post meaning that you were trying to get the controller working on linux.

Regarding devolution, did you try having the controller already plugged in when you booted a game?

 

[naxil]

yes i have try all ... i have try to reconnect the controller in game.. i see the central led blink 1 time.. and stop... games say: insert 1 controller

 

[Nintendo Maniac]

...did you press the Xbox 360 guide button?

 

[naxil]

yes i have press it many times... but nothing happen... probably the problem is the 3rd party controller...

 

[Nintendo Maniac]

I know, I just wonder how it was done since it uses the Xinput API

Well I got your answer:

XInput is a windows library, it has nothing to do with how the controller communicates.

I then followed up with this comment plus a second unrelated question, and tueidj answered my question but did not state anything regarding my initial comment, so it is likely that it is correct:

Ah, so presumably you're basically reading and translating the raw USB data directly from the controller.

----------------------------------------------------------------

yes i have press it many times... but nothing happen... probably the problem is the 3rd party controller...

This is likely the case since it seems like Xinput is an OS API rather than a communication standard. To use an analogy, Xinput is like the C coding language where it runs on ARM, x86, etc, while Devolution's 360 controller support is like x86 assembly where it only runs on x86.

Ugh, that sounds like a real pain, I wish he was more specific or had some kind of documentation for reference, but there seems to be animosity/vendetta he has against Nintendont, so I doubt he'd give out more information than that...Oh well. Maybe the Nintendont developers will, who knows, but it's very, very low priority for them. It'd be nice, but I don't see it ever being a possibility.

I don't know why there are people that defend him

Hi, I just launched the app through homebrew , and everything worked well. I launched FIFA 06 through a flash drive, and it booted well. However, when I tried to launch Super smash bros mele without inserting a disk, I just got a black screen after I located the .iso. If someone could tell me what I am doing wrong, I would appreciate it.

Unless I'm wrong, the read me guide said I only needed to put in the disk once and then I just needed the ISO file.

EDIT: After reading through more of the other requests for help, (I would have read all of them, but I don't have time nor the will to read 200 pgs of this) I realized the possible answer to my problem. Do I have to register each individual game before I can just use the iso, or do I just need to do one, as I previously thought?
EDIT 2: ^Suspicions were correct. As of right now, I don't have access to the game that I want to try to emulate, however I do have a .iso file from earlier experiments. The game is at a relative's house, and I will get it back within a month. Is there any way to temporarily bypass the authorization code? If not, it would be great and a huge time saver if someone could respond saying yes or no. Thanks in advance.

You do it once per game - Devolution verifies on a per-game basis.

(this also means that you do not need to verify the second disc for multi-disc games)

 

[Joeysweden]

Just updated my reply. Thanks for answering though

 

[Joeysweden]

Reading over my reply, I guess there probably isn't a way to override the authorization part, mostly because then piracy would be a problem for people who don't actually own the game.

You are correct.

That's what Nintendont and Dios Mios are for But I digress. Sorry, but that form of DRM....

 

[Nintendo Maniac]

That's what Nintendont and Dios Mios are for

Or, you know, Dolphin.

 

[the_randomizer]

Or, you know, Dolphin.

Way ahead of ya.... DRM on games no longer being sold is....anyways. Carry on.

Nintendo Maniac what i can do with my 3rd party controller?
