There's no music fix, but there is a patched sound plugin that makes the music last much longer before it breaks. You can get it here:

^ Pssst, if you're gonna try to run Ikaruga... It runs so much better on any Dreamcast Emulator, virtually any PC can do it too... at full speed

Jads should have an Endless Ocean guide up by the end of the day and Nabs and I hope to have a Super Mario Galaxy 2 guide up in the next couple days. I might have some screens up later tonight.
Background
Dive into tropical waters and discover an underwater paradise that has to be seen to be believed. Endless Ocean puts you in the role of a
diver exploring a tranquil sea teeming with marine life and stunning seascapes. More of an experience than a game, Endless Ocean offers
you the freedom to explore underwater locations by taking a relaxing swim among the inhabitants of the sea or searching for unusual fish
to photograph and record in your journal.

- Completion: 100%

Issues
There is one tiny little "bug" that is quite annoying. The draw distance is small so sometimes fish or vegetation will just pop in out of
nowhere. Nothing major though.
- Sound may crackle during vocal songs, for example hayley's prayer, using non-vocal songs semi fixes it.
- Anything involving SD-cards, loading and saving to SD for pictures and MP3s doesn't work. Online is also not working.
- I had one crash during my playtrough, which occurred in Mermaid Grotto.

Anyone had any problems with some sound effects being played too fast? I think it started happening after I used StallionFree config, but I can't pint point what option is actually causing it.

No, I don't want stuff from other forums in here. It's lame stealing peoples pics and reposting them other places.besiktas1 said:
Background
My Life as a King is a downloadable Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles game for WiiWare, but it doesn't play like your typical Final Fantasy
RPG. Instead of adventuring out into the countryside, slaying monsters, and exploring dungeons, players remain in the safe confines of
their castle while they send their subjects out to do the dirty work. If you pick the right citizens for the job they'll bring back money and
materials you can use to build up your kingdom. My Life as a King is a management/city-building game rather than an RPG.

Issues
There are no graphical issues with this game. However, it sometimes runs slow when a lot of stuff is happening on screen. This is
especially noticeable on the city overview and during some cutscenes.
- Sound crackles a lot under the default settings. Using the OpenAL audio backend seems to fix the crackling.
- Buying DLC obviously doesn't work. It is however possible to dump your DLC + save game from your own Wii. Installing DLC is
pretty easy, right click on the DLC on the Dolphin main screen then select "Install to System Menu."

Thanks. And yeah I tried that. Starting to think it's actually a bug with the revision I'm using and not the config it self.
Anyone has anything for No more heroes 2 ? After playing the ports, I am very interested in the 2nd one. Ripping the game to play on PC might be the reason for me to buy a Wii.
edit: Uhh, ok, watched the 720p footage on Youtube and it looks pretty fine, but there are occasional stuttering here an there. Still fine.

its too bad there is a sound issue...otherwise looks like the game runs fine...
Does the wireless sensor bar have anything to do with bluetooth? I just ripped my SMG1 and am trying to play it, I setup my wireless sensor bar in front of my screen like I would on my TV and turned it on. I paired up my wiimote with the emu and that works fine but I can't get the pointer to work.
Any advice?

(referring to youtube video) The eggshell on back of the boss isnt suppose to be pure white, there's a lot of detail when playing on actual Wii, also framerate fluctuates a bit vs. the constant 60fps on Wii, not sure what other discrepancies there is.nolookjones said:
I just played a level in SMG2 called Beat Block galaxy where the music plays a big part of the level, certain platforms disappear when a certain part of the music plays, pretty fun level actually.

The wireless sensor bar has nothing to do with bluetooth, if you are having issues with it, trying giving yourself some distance from it. My wiimote gets kind of janky unless I am 3 feet away or more from the sensor bar and up close, it won't even show the cursor. If you can't make grab stars in SMG, make sure you have CPU to EFB Access enabled.

Oh wow, the screens without the sepia look crazy nice. Care to do some more?jediyoshi said:

If you didn't say otherwise I would have thought that you were comparing the Wii with the PS360 version. Maybe tell someone on the Dolphin team or in the rev build section so someone could try and work a way to remove the filter and keep the HUD?
The difference is nuts.

Hang on, did you permanently remove that filter by changing a setting in Dolphin or is this just some kind of temporary technical glitch with the emulator? The difference is just astonishing.

How did I do?
