Why supported versions matter
Dusk expects a clean, supported copy. The reimplementation maps addresses, file structures, and behaviors derived from specific original builds. If your copy doesn’t match a known SHA-1, Dusk may fail to recognize it, refuse to launch, or behave unpredictably.
Current supported versions
The following builds are currently listed by the Dusk project:
| Build | SHA-1 | Status |
|---|---|---|
| GameCube USA | 75edd3ddff41f125d1b4ce1a40378f1b565519e7 | supported |
| GameCube EUR | 2601822a488eeb86fb89db16ca8f29c2c953e1ca | supported |

What SHA-1 means
SHA-1 is a hash function that produces a 40-character fingerprint for a file. Two files that produce the same SHA-1 are byte-identical for practical purposes; two files that produce different SHA-1 values are different files, period. Dusk uses SHA-1 to confirm that a user-owned copy is one of the supported builds.
How to compare a hash safely
Compute the SHA-1 of your own file and compare the resulting string against the table above. Standard built-in tools work:
- macOS / Linux:
shasum -a 1 yourfileorsha1sum yourfile - Windows PowerShell:
Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA1 yourfile
See the dedicated SHA-1 walkthrough for screenshots and the equivalent commands on each platform.
What unsupported means
If your hash doesn’t match a listed build, Dusk will likely report an “unsupported version” error. Common reasons:
- Your copy is from a region or revision Dusk doesn’t list.
- Your file has been modified, repacked, or trimmed.
- The file is corrupt — try recomputing the hash on a fresh copy of your own file.
- You ran the wrong file through the hash command.
