You can run your retail games all you want. The issue is you can't use Devolution to run your backups.

Devolution is relatively new still and has bugs, why not go to the main thread and file a bug report or look for help?
1 They are retail games (well technicaly they are backups)
2 Tueidj dont believe me.

They aren't retail copies, which is what people mean when they say "retail games". If you want to pirate, use DIOS-MIOS or a cMIOS.

I am NOT trying to pirate.
My discs are retail.
Edit: added word "are"

Firstly that's an action replay, not a retail gamecube game.
Secondly in the Devolution thread you said it was always returning to HBC after flashing four times. Your video shows it is ejecting the disc (wrong disc id).
Thirdly nothing in that video proves that you don't have a modchip, which is the most likely explanation.

1. I dont think that really matters. (It does the same with every game)
2. You said it means read error so I reformated my USB and it does this now.
3. I dont have a modchip installed.

So I guess you also removed the modchip at the same time as reformatting your USB drive and you haven't re-ripped the discs?
The .ISO files have the wrong disc ID because they were ripped with the modchip's region free setting turned on. Without the chip installed, the discs no longer match the .ISO files and don't even get to the verification stage (where they used to fail because your modchip is crap).

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
