Dolphin - Emulating Wii and Gamecube Games

Lets not derail this thread into OC stuff keep it here I guess as it would get you more results with help.

Also few pointers if you don't know already, when you OC your CPU you also OC your RAM and your BUS on your Motherboard its like trinity.

Now with your current problem have you cleared your CMOS and see if it starts up?

Remember to post in that thread.
 
MadWorld, Wesker's guide should be as soon as he checks his PMs.

Background
The events of the game are set into motion when a terrorist attack hits the water bound Jefferson Island, destroying all contact to the
outside world. The terrorist group, called The Organizers, then instates a sadistic competition for survival, which is then turned into a TV
show, called "Death Watch". The prize for the last man on the island is a ticket out of the city and a cash sum of $100 million. You play as
Jack Cayman, a bounty hunter and participant in the competition. Your goal as of now is either to win the $100 million or stop The
Organizers. That's not to say that it isn't both.

This is a screenshot.

So you're saying the game doesn't actually look this white when played on a Wii?

*dusts off Wii to check it out*
 
Not sure if it's as noticeable as in the screenshots above, but yeah, it's definitely yellow-ish.
 
Super Mario Galaxy is messing up for me when I get to Dino Piranha. Says something about color and textures missing. I save stated right before I have to fight it, but I can't move. The controls mess up or something :(

Also is there something wrong with the emulation? Music doesn't play at all :(

found the answer to the emu crashing, had to use OpenGL

If I recall correctly, the official thread was littered with people reporting a different tone for their white. Some said they had a strong yellow tinge to the whites, whereas others has a really sharp white.

I had the latter. I figure the TV plays a big part.
 
yep, check the latest revision. 5457. i'm not sure, but the game doesn't seem to be running better (speed) but it certainly looks better.

this rev also fixes certain things in sunshine, i haven't had a second to check that out yet.

edit: oh my.

 
It's so good to see how quickly Dolphin gets improved, I just hope a fix for the music in WW comes out sometime soon.

The day that happens, I want to meet and shake the hands of everyone on the Dolphin team. I would also appreciate if Nintendo would do a trilogy re-release like they did for Metroid.
 
Yea new build fixed marios eyes in galaxy, but completely destroyed Muramasa: Demon's Blade, though the 2.0 build has it running at 61FPS constant on my system except for the save menu. Looks so much better than on the wii, the way the game was meant to be played.
 
Nabs said:
how did it break muramasa? and what are your settings?
Click to expand...

Well with the Direct3D9 plugin with the same settings on both the new SVN and 2.0 on 2.0 it actually boots while on the svn it goes to a greenish screen with lines running across it with the audio completely distorted or at times it just crashes before it loads.

Where are saves kept? and can they be transfered from build to build?

Saves are in User/Wii or User/GC. Just copy those entire folders over. The games inside those folders use numbers for the folder names, so good luck guessing if you want an individual game save. They transfer from build to build just fine.
 
not sure if anybody cares but here's some SMG pics

weird not 720p but whatever.
 
I guess that may be it. Was doing other stuff while messing with Dolphin last night.

I think I need a CPU/Vid card update. My amd x3 and 4870 don't get me good enough frame rates :(

I keep hearing people talk about 'latest revisions', I have Dolphin 2.0 64bit, I'm guessing I have the latest revision yes?, or is my version upgradable in some way?

I do appear to have a couple of the GPU settings missing in my version.

Dolphin is updated every day it seems. The latest revision can be found at http://dolphin-emulator.com. It's always worth keeping your old revisions, in case a new one breaks something.

OMFG thank you!

Is there much stuttering? How does the IR perform?

Go here: http://dolphin-emulator.com/download.html

That has all the latest builds as soon as they are released. I use 2.0 as my main Dolphin build to play games on, but I usually try out builds once a week. Remember, they are just zipped up folders so you can have as many builds as you like at a time. I just recommending labeling the folder so that you can keep track easier of which build is which.

Edit: screw you Nabs. I guess I'm [2slow]

Yeah, there was quite a bit of stuttering when I tested it out, but I didn't look at any configs, I just rolled with my vanilla config. When I get around to actually playing the game in full on Dolphin, I will try to work that out.
 
Andrex said:

For me there wasn't too much stuttering, but that was probably because I'm only getting 26fps, but even then I liked that over the constant stuttering everytime you turned the corner or reloaded or something on the Wii.

also no IR at the moment, just ordered a bluetooth dongle thing so I can try that some other time, but mouse wii emulation is janky.
 
Goddamn Jads, I can't get over how nice Tales of Symphonia looks. You are making me want to buy a JRPG which is something I have only done like once before in my life.

Maybe emulating the game messes up the voiceacting and you can play it without cringing.

Right thanks mate, I was going here originally http://www.dolphin-emu.com/news.php, that link you gave me is much better, I now know what people are talking about, just tried out the latest version with your settings and F-zero is working a lot better now.

Shame about the Shadow issue in Grand Prix mode though.

Indeed, you have a problem when only two of your characters in the entire cast have tolerable voice actors in a 20-25 hour RPG. :lol (Thank god you can turn off VA) Don't buy it Stallion Free if you don't like JRPG's :D

FIXED! I was using Dolphin GCPad Plugin vs. Dolphin GCPad New in the config. settings.

Is it possible to get Mario Galaxy to run at 60fps? If so what's the configuration?

Thanks
Click to expand...

i'll post up the config tomorrow. what kind of speeds do you get now?
 
In the main menu roughly 50fps, in game, ranges from 10-25 which is really poor.

Is it possible to configure the wiimote properly? when trying to select an icon in Mario Galaxy it's nearly impossible. It's extremely jumpy and the area of movement is tiny before the hand jumps off the screen.

As I understand it you need an i3/i5/i7 clocked up to around 4GHz to get full speed on galaxy. I was running my Phenom II x6 at 4GHz and still couldnt hit full 60fps in all areas. Mostly high 40s low 50s.
