Hacking Why add anti-piracy measures to Devolution ?

i have a legit clean (no scratches) copy of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle that runs fine with dios mios, and devo refuses to validate it. Make Me Spagetti . On top of that, it works fine with Standard MIOS. so there is nothing wrong with the disk. :/

I cook in a jail. You sure you want my spaghetti?

how do you know the first 8 bytes or whatever aren't corrupted? maybe you spilled some spaghetti on them?

the MD5 of my rip matches the common's. Its probably just a fluke. >_> but i don't need any help- nor do i want it. I already have my Spaghetti. And It tastes delicious. He asked for a post regarding the AP hindering legit users- so i gave him one.

So it is, isn't it. My bad.
I blame Google

AFAIK devolution looks only at first 8 bits of game disc.
So maybe we can change first 8 of ISO bits to zeros (or ones I am not sure) and verify it with blank DVD.

 

[Maxternal]

I think there's more that it checks in the ISO than that, like it knows the first 8 bytes will match up to other parts of the disk, too
AND
there are ways of telling it's a DVD-R and not a retail GC disk.

It may also be reading the BCA... which does not exist on backups.

im very glad the official thread has filled with whining babys "ohhhhh it wont work! i ripped it 9000 times!"

very helpful to the scene and very convenient i may add [/sarcasm]

oh and i forgot, its contributing to sales of new gamecube games. i read a report nintendo has gained so much, they might re-release the gamecube. [/heavy sarcasm]

I know some drive chips can fool devolution (with the right settings) would they emulate the BCA as well?

More than likely check BCA and probably for patches in the iso also.

Best chance of a hardmod feeding what it wants would be a drive emu but then there's the issue of wii drive emu's are old, the devs are pretty slow and would it be worth it just for a few streaming audio games that lack sound.

One example of the above would be chips with the NSMB BCA hard coded into firmware which tells the Wii drive that the game's BCA is present (like a retail disc) and thwarts Nintendo's AP check. Not sure about Gamecube stuff.
