Hacking Devolution Speculation thread

Maxternal: Backing it up, formatting it, and copying all my stuff back will take hours. It's not something I want to do.

Cluster size is mostly irrelevant, especially if the files aren't fragmented.

So is that a no on the "Will it require 32KB (or smaller) clusters?"

 

[tmv_josue]

No

Ok, I see your point.
There should be some app out there that can change your cluster size but I can't say I already know of any specifically. Oh well.

I believe Paragon may do that.... Not sure, though, never heard of it til yesterday

Yes Zero it will change your cluster size without losing any DATA.. xd

I tell you what, this project looks amazing, and even more amazing that only 1 guy is doing it. I know better to ask for a release date, but I thought it might be cool to know just what issues or features need to be overcome before the author would feel the program is ready for release?

You should try to find/write/buy/whatever a small, ARM compatible, FOSS, non-copyleft library for NTFS support.

Why not copyleft?

Because tueidj doesn't want to open source his program, and so cannot use any copyleft library (e.g. GPL licensed library etc.)

devolution is on google code dont it have to be open source?

 

[tueidj]

That's news to me.

 

[Maxternal]

devolution is on google code dont it have to be open source?

So, where is this supposed GoogleCode page?
[member='tueidj'] has actually been one to report people who misuse GoogleCode for stuff like that so I kinda doubt it but if you link I might be less skeptical.

 

[Maxternal]

hmm, found it but it's empty
https://code.google.com/p/devolution/
I get the feeling someone is impersonating [member='tueidj'] or something.

 

[tueidj]

Yeah, not me.

 

[EnigmaXtreme]

Yeah, not me.

Looks like someones getting impatient....or is just an ass

 

[mike1]

Yeah, not me.

sorry just saw it on google code

It'd be nice to have this when it comes out! I miss my Wavebird so I guess the Classic is all I got.

Will Devolution support, or have some way to convert, save files created by NMM in DIOS-MIOS? Or will we have to start games from the start?

 

[tueidj]

It will not support it.

 

[Jman69]

It will not support it.

I thought this might be the case. I didn't want to get too far into Eternal Darkness only to have to start over. Waiting for Devolution for audio streaming support.

Last update was that you were checking the FAT code to ensure no drives were screwed. Is this still the case?

 

[Anon10W1z]

It will not support it.

Then how will we be able to use saves w/o a memory card? Does Devo use a proprietary .*** file extension for saves?
