Hacking Why add anti-piracy measures to Devolution ?

He's publicly to piracy and wants to take steps to help stop it.

Or at least avoid promoting it.

Releasing software capable of playing pirated games is not the same as promoting it, especially if he explicitly stated that he did not condone it.

I know he is, and that's why I said I'd love to know why he is, especially in this Gamecube case. He didn't wake up one day and just decide "Gamecube piracy in 2012 must be stopped deterred".

Er, typo in my post, should have read "publicly against".

But that's likely a question for him, I can't answer that (as I feel putting AP on a loader for a dead console is wasted effort).

Quoted for truth!

While trying to crack the AP, I found a secret backdoor that causes devolution to not require you to verify you have the disc. You just need a blank file with a specific name in the games folder.

So then tell us the name of the necessary blank file. Who says stuff like that but then doesn't share? Sounds like someone in the PS3 scene, lol.

Somebody who wants to encourage people to explore and learn?

Anyone can provide me with DVVs from Eternal Darkness (PAL), Tales of Symphonia (PAL, German), Twilight Princess (PAL), GUN (PAL), Geist (PAL), Splinter Cell 2 (PAL)?

Proof or it didn't happen.

Better yet, proof and information or it didn't happen.

I'm a bit leary of trying devolution now seeing another user report drive wiping.

Yep. EPIC FAIL.

I'll wait for Dios Mios to support Star Fox Adventures, thank you very much.

Would not work. The files have to be generated and used on a specific Wii.

That's exactly the reason why I would like to get my hands on them.

Either KazoWAR's telling the truth, or he's trolling.

Yeah we kinda' figured out that was your opinion the first time you responded to him...

Seriously. People's hard drive's getting corrupted, retail games not verifying even when in good condition. Sounds like an excellent program to me.

Bit early to pass judgment, IMO....

Even so, this is the first Wii program I've heard of that caused a few people's hard drives to go to crap.

USB Loader GX went through a period when certain revisions were fullbricking Wiis, which is $140 more serious than a corrupted hard drive, but people continue to use it.

Maybe people are being too harsh here... what if the program is just telling you that it is time to start fresh. That's a feature, not something to whine about....
