The private trackers in on all only had Wii or PAL GC… success is found at both Vimm and archive tho!

Teach me these Vimm and archive ways?

I can just download the .iso and it'll work with this project, I take it?

I’m not at my computer but I searched something like “dusk twilight princess gc dump” and found dumps in two different formats on the front page of DDG! One was at archive.org and one at Vimm’s Lair. They both booted up totally fine in Dusk!

Someone else also said “you can find the correct image on Minerva archive” and another said they found a site called cdromance that was surprisingly clean (no fake download ad links, etc) so I’m gonna look around those later to see if I can get one that matches the checksum, just to be safe!

Edit: cdromance is the same version as Archive, wrong hash. OR I’M CHECKING HASHES WRONG?! It says SHA1 so in running

Get-FileHash -Path “R:\Dusk\twiprin.rvz” -Algorithm SHA1

I wonder if that’s not correct? Cuz it’s not giving me any errors when I use it…

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Are you running that command and getting the correct hash on any download? Test it with some other known, safe download as a control test. 😁 Ubuntu iso or something.

Or just generate a new hash with a short string, like "Hello, world!".

I get the correct hash on all my Linux ISOs, prolly like eight of them in my Medicat drive, so yeeeah D:

Not a bad plan tho. I had a weird external HDD and all tests came up correct and fine. I deduced the drive was the issue when my machines would come up with a different hash for the same exact file run twice in a row. A few months left on warranty, but it was replaced!

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Phew!

Anyway, thanks for all the help! I was playing some Twilight Princess today and it was a good hit of nostalgia!

Although I had to turn down the resolution to just 2x, otherwise it was too crisp and the nostalgia didn't activate. 😅

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

O heck yeah, I’m glad you got it running! Were you able to get the correct hash from any of the places we talked about? If so, what command did ya use? I can test the hash on Windows, OSX, or any flavor of Linux.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I downloaded the rvz iso from Vimm's lair, but I couldn't get the hash to verify either. I don't know which file to check against. Neither the zip nor extracted content (rvz file) matched the hash checksums. The file name is also different in the download page, than the one you're getting on your disk. So I'm thinking maybe you need to recreate the iso and then chan against that?

Either way, it worked 🥲 Not sure how to verify, it what to verify, at this point.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Ooo I renamed mine, it was probably the same as yours hahaha. It was the full name with capitalization and stuff.

The hash is on the Dusk GitHub download page! There’s a US and EUR hash, but I haven’t had any of my downloads match it, at least with the command I used.. but they all boot fine!

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

The hash is on the Dusk GitHub download page!

Weird, those hashes are different from the ones on Vimm's lair. But none of them match the actual download lol...

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 6 days ago

Ahhh thank you, then I’m not crazy! Hahaha

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah very strange. And also the hashes on Vimm's lair can't even be copied correctly. The little box is too narrow for its content and the overflow is set to ellipsis, so it's truncated and you can't copy it unless you go into the HTML with the web tools. 😆 Not the best user experience.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

I think Vimm gets a pass for existing since the ‘90s hahahaha

I can’t believe they’re still around. I downloaded stuff from Vimm’s for NESticle wayyyy back when!

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Definitely 😄👍 It boots up and I'm good with that lol
