The first public version of Devolution is finally ready!

Devolution is an SD/USB gamecube game loader for the wii.
This one will ask you to insert your original game to verify that you own it!!

Image unavailable (removed by its host) How to use it
Devolution requires 1:1 disc images (use cleanrip for best results).
the .Iso file must be placed in the /games.
directory. Use a gamecube controller in port 1 and choose whether you want to use the USB or SD port, then press up and down on the D-PAD to scroll through the available ISO files..
Press A to launch a game
When the slot blinks twice, it means it wants the original disc to be inserted.
Once the correct disc is inserted, it will be verified, the slot will blink 5 times and shortly after, the game will start. You only need to verify each disc once, after that you should be able to start the game without needing the disc.

Thanks, but against DIOS MIOS the fight is lost in advance for Devolution, unless compatibility with games is 100% and we know how to tweak it to bypass the disc check, frankly for a homebrew I don't see the point of the check.

Edit: a few clarifications

You'll be able to launch games from the launcher or use the very latest SVN version of Open-wiiflow-mod (accompanied by the loader.bin module provided by tueidj in a separate archive), which already integrates Devolution support.

Note that on the first launch of a game, you'll be asked for the original. This is a protection to counter as much as possible any illegal use of the loader. A database will remember each original so you don't need to insert the game every time you start it up (the generated files are probably encrypted with your wii's unique keys to counter the smart guys who would share the databases around)
Oh darn :(

Future planned developments for this loader: - Wiimote support - Broad Band Adapter emulation - USB microphone support (instead of GC mics) - Wifi connection

- (maybe) GBA connectivity (emulator) via TCP/IP

The potential is there and there'll be more in the coming releases, but what puts me off is the disc check, well ok it's only once but still, we could hope for a merge between DIOS MIOS and Devolution :p

Devolution is at R200 and compatible with vWii (according to the changelog, not tested)

for it to be functional on vWii you need to own a Wii for the dump and the check

or else share the (hidden) protection files located in the GC-devo folder on USB if the Gamecube games are on USB, or on SD if the games are installed on SD

it is nonetheless necessary to verify the MD5 of the ISO

the MD5 and the name of the game are saved in the hidden file (a specific file for each game)

hoping you followed along because I'm not great at explaining :D
