Thanks for the recomendation Jocchan :) but it doesnt seem to be in the american store. Did you needed to install the included drivers or did windows recognized them nativly?

I may try to set this up soon. If my motherboard already includes bluetooth support do I still need the adapter?

Can't hurt to try it. I use the onboard BT on my Asus P8P67 Deluxe and it works perfectly for Dolphin.

It included the Toshiba Bluetooth stack, and to be honest I installed that one directly, without trying out the Windows drivers first (they didn't work with my previous Bluetooth dongle, so I just didn't bother).

I think i'll go with this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...th%202.0%20USB
Anyway, i was asking because the OP seems to be making a big deal of the adapters that windows recognize nativly. The bluetooth adapter i put there absolutly needs the drivers it comes with.

Anyway i hope im not wating 12 in that thing for nothing. Im not planning in playing any Wii games but i do want the Wii remote to works as a mouse substitute.

The Azio BTD211 works fine for me. Windows 7 x64 recognized it immediately.

Well, the OP seems to be mostly suggesting to not spend money to buy BlueSoleil, as many adapters are recognized natively by Windows.

Which I agree with. My previous Bluetooth dongle came with BlueSoleil 2.0.8 or something, a very old version, and didn't work with Dolphin. So I tried just uninstalling it and using the Windows drivers, but no dice (and I was left with an ugly X on the Windows connection icon, ugh). Instead of buying a newer version of BlueSoleil, I ended up getting a new dongle for half the price, and it works perfectly.

If you aren't losing connection and aren't getting discernible input lag, you probably don't need a new dongle at all.

Nice! I've got the pro model. Should be pretty similar.

Is Super Mario Galaxy playable with a 360 controllers or you absolutely need a Wii Remote?

Deadstar · (12-01-2011, 11:56 PM)

Is there a specific page that shows how to rip my games so I can play them on dolphin? I want to play Skyward Sword. I don't want to mod my wii if I don't have to. No idea if that is part of it. It's all new to me. I just want to play skyward sword in hd.

Crunched · 12:16 AM

Ah, I just ran into my first crash in SS on Dolphin. It's happened twice now, in the same place.

End of the game, but not really a story spoiler. More sidequest-y.

After giving Batreaux 70 or more gratitude crystals, the game crashes when you try to climb back up to Skyloft on the ladder.

Uh

Third time is the charm I guess?

Or what

An error popped up this time that said "You shouldn't be here!" and gave me the options yes or no. I picked yes, then Link completely vanished.

This carries over after you load if you save following it, so be warned people! It's a pretty serious bug.

I'm playing it with a DS3, so yeah, a 360 controller should play better (native controller support, not having to deal with the awful MotionJoy program, etc). Like a gaffer said on the last page, you can map the Wiimote to your mouse aswell, and move with the 360 controller, go with whatever makes you more comfortable.

Crunched · 12:39 AM

I can bypass the crash above by enabling LLE audio, but Link continues to disappear while climbing the ladder. And that's if he climbs it at all. Most of the time he just falls right through it like it isn't there.

He reappears when you enter Batreaux's house, but with a completely depleted wooden shield. You can equip your actual shield if you like and the wooden shield will disappear.

This is a really strange bug.

Ah I know what it is. I have some cheats enabled, this must be a weird side effect of that. Testing now with them off.

Yep that fixes it. So heads up to anyone using the no low health beep/no Fi warnings cheat codes. You won't be able to climb up from Batreaux's place without some really weird shit happening.

Mit- · (12-02-2011, 12:50 AM)

So, SS works really well, the whole way through, on Dolphin?

I've never used Dolphin before, mostly because I haven't played Wii games in a while, but I'm considering it for SS... Also, does Sonic Colors work really well the whole way through?

I've got an i5 2500k, 8GB of RAM and a GeForce 560 Ti. Is the program stable enough that I'll be able to go through both games with little to no issues?

Tain · (12-02-2011, 01:09 AM)

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there any way to use Dolphin in REAL fullscreen? It seems like Dolphin uses "borderless windowed" mode for fullscreen mode, which is why leaving vsync unchecked gives no screen tearing.

The problem with this, though, is the occasional stuttering in 60fps games.

Am I missing something? Or is it really just the one option for fullscreen?

flashbandit16 · (12-02-2011, 01:15 AM)

Maan, I must be trying to play the wrong games. I finally got it set up and I can't get The Sky Crawlers Innocent Aces or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles The Crystal Bearers to work. Has anyone gotten these games to work?

In graphics, make sure to have it stretch to length of window so it fills up entire screen

I wasn't talking about the aspect ratio or anything, but instead the method used by the renderer for its fullscreen mode.

But! I kinda fixed my problem by turning off the framelimit and turning on vsync. Butter smooth.

hlhbk · (12-02-2011, 02:31 AM)

I have a question. My specs are:

Intel Core I7 950 3.0 GHZ
EVGA Nvidia GTX 570 superclocked
OCZ 4 GB PC 1600 RAM

Should these specs be enough to get 100% speed at 1080P with 2x res, in DX11, at 30 FPS on games such as Windwaker, Xenoblade Chronicles, Skyward Sword and Mario Galaxy 2?

yeah it should do the job

mine is i7 3.4 ghz
gtx 460 756mb
6gb ddr3

thats the settings i run at but with 2.5x res

Varna · (12-02-2011, 04:14 AM)

Hope this isn't against some rule. Does anyone have a cleared game SS save they could send me? I really want to give the game another shot in hero mode with some of those annoyance removing Gecko codes.

i have fraps set to take a picture every five minutes, so my shots aren't all that interesting, hence me not sharing many, but... i really like this one.

Can't wait till there's a no hud code to get rid of this letter boxing. Would also be nice since if you save before a cutscene, load it up and go through it, they have a constant skip prompt on the bottom of the screen.

I can post a few when I get home. I have a bit more than 10GB of screens so far and I'm not quite done yet. Should have something that works for you. Do you have any preference for a certain point in the story?

Thrakier · (12-02-2011, 12:57 PM)

After getting a fake wiimote first I now read that the new official WM+ ones aren't working in dolphin anymore. I really hope I get an old one but considering my luck...meh.

My gold wiimote works 100%.

I'm guessing an i5 2500K (no overclock) + HD6950 2GB + 8GB Ram is going to have no issue running SS but how far can I push native res and AA before I start getting issues?

I would guess you'd easily hit at least 3x internal res without issue.

Be glad you weren't in the "what will next gen look like"-thread where people argued that low-res vs high-res doesn't even matter for them when it comes to visuals. I really think that's a totally disingenuous thing to say.

Yep, but it's not one of the new revision. It's how it is. And the new revision doesn't work anymore. So if you don't have WM+ right now, you don't h ave the Zelda mote or buy a used one, you are probably fucked.

Absolutely, you can max it with 4x res, AA, etc. I run 4x res and 2xAA and the game runs without a hitch, and my system doesn't touch yours.

I'm having a few problems getting my Wiimote synced up properly. My first obstacle, pressing the sync button on the wiimote doesn't keep it on long enough for the detection process to complete. It's the gold Wiimote+ from the SS bundle, btw. Any suggestions?

Hold the sync button pressed.

Tried it. It'll sync up, show up as a device, then I let go of the button and the lights turn off and the wiimote disappears from the list. Batteries are fine.

Maybe try holding the 1 + 2 buttons instead of the sync button? That's how I sync my Wiimote up to my PC. Though I'm not sure if holding 1 + 2 is any different than holding the sync button.

EDIT - Yeah that should work. According to Wiibrew: "Holding down the 1 and 2 button continuously will force the wiimote to stay in discoverable mode without turning off."

That didn't work either. If anything, the blue lights turned off faster. Certainly not permanently.

Can you just hit the 1+2 buttons again while it's syncing? The sync lights usually stop once or twice while I go through the process and hitting them again when they stop flashing works for me.

Is it a new one? Genuine?
