Dolphin 4.0 Released
- Thread starter PGamer
- Start date
Have you followed the instructions on the page?This is after ticking Force-install, I rebooted afterwards to check, and it works when plugged in USB, but when I take the cord out it just blinks endlessly.
Have you installed the 360 controller drivers?
Open up SCPMonitor; do you have a host address? Do you see Pad 1 reserved?
I think you might be doing something wrong there bud. The ratio looks squished. Here's a proper shot to compare against.
.
In the past, you had to run a custom Dolphin build to get Xenoblade working correctly.
That may be fixed in 4.0, but if it is not you should get on Google and find the custom builds.

Yes.
Yes, I've used my 360 controllers on my PC before, unless it is a specialized driver I should have this already.
I opened SCPMonitor.
It says that Host Address is "Disconnected" and that Pad 1 is "Charged" when plugged in, and "Reserved" when not. Next to the "Charged" part is what I assume is the controller's ID and then "- USB 00005F70" which keeps on counting up in hex I assume. It must be the charge level I think.
Oddly enough I never had audio problems with Xenoblade in the official builds. Instead I'd get second or two long pauses during special attacks in battle (even happened in the one in the intro) that I could not get to go away without using a special build. Maybe 4.0 fixes this?
Hmm interesting. That was happening to me before when I couldn't get it working either.
You installed the drivers when your controller was plugged in, correct?
If so and if you haven't already, unplug your controller and (force) install the drivers again. Check if it still behaves the same and try another reboot.
If you still see the blue Bluetooth icon in your system tray, it's not going to work.
Yep. Just make it emulate a 360 controller and you can set buttons for the motion stuff.
I can't get Prime to run worth a damn. Really bums me out.
Have a Nice Day

Hot damn.

What is that? I see one, how do I disable it?
BTW, why the hell does Sony not make it easier! Thanks a lot for your help though! I really appreciate your dedication to a stranger on the Internet like me.

Hm, to try Prime on my Shield or not...

Why not? If you have one, use it. The Internet must know how it performs. For science.
Where do you get the android version? I wanna try this too.
Because that means that you're able to connect other devices to your Bluetooth device. Recall that these drivers override the Bluetooth device so that only the DS3 can use it.
If everything is installed and working correctly, then the icon shouldn't be there (if you don't have your other Bluetooth device plugged in).
If all fails, try your other Bluetooth device and check if the hardware ID is on the supported list and try using that one.
I loaded my old saves and fooled with it briefly, seems to still have horrendous audio stuttering
So either it needs a patch, or it needs some specific settings, but either way, didn't work out of the box for me
Are you running the game at full speed constantly? And where exactly do you get these stutters? Can you share your save game so I can try it on my end?
Yes, and any time in combat. Game runs perfectly till voices and combat noises start up, then it goes to hell.
I had the same problem on 3.x builds, had to use custom 'xenobuilds' or whatever, then it ran fine.
Don't have the save files handy at the moment though.
Just tried the intro battle since I don't have any save files and it ran absolutely perfect there.
Try the same and see if you get the same results? Post the save games here when you're able to.

Well, can't get Prime to load on the Android version. Just black screens. Oh well, it is in Alpha, and I don't think the one on the store is updated to this version yet since it's date is from the end of August.

Wat.
How, please tell me how you got that. Those tree's certainly didn't look like that in the GC release.
Yep, get audio stutter as soon as the intro loads, and in the intro battle
That's even running in a tiny window on my desktop, not fullscreen or with internal res increased
edit: For a sanity check I ran my old build, 'dolphin-30-79-xbpatch31' and it ran fine
What are your specs?
I did a write up about it on my Tumblr.
Basically, I configured SweetFx to get the colors as they are and I used a combination of my own and Hypatia's HD texture pack.
Most of the visual bump is from SweetFx + massive rendering size/AA

amazing how much better Dolphin look than the Wii U HD port.
and the colors are just right with Sweetfx.
with 360 controller

Anyone know if Metroid Prime Trilogy will work on this version?

I actually think the Wii U version looks better, has a lot more "life" to it where the original seems a bit flat. The bloom effect really isn't as strong as it appears in screenshots and isn't ever present. The interiors in particular look a lot better.
Dolphin version is certainly much crisper, wonder how long before we will be emulating Wii U/PS3/360 games. A decade or more?
Does anyone know why there hasn't been an Xbox Emulator by the way? Some great games that would look good scaled up.

I agree. Those screens don't do the game justice.

I've been playing RE0 and REmake for a while without issues on Dolphin since pre 3.0...
Haven't tested it with 4.0 yet.
Have been using these settings:
Enable Dual Core
Enable Idle Skipping
DSP LLE Recompiler
DSP LLE on Separate Thread
XAudio2
Graphics Backend Direct3D9
Scaled EFB Copy
Force Texture Filtering
Anisotropic Filtering x16
Hacks
Everything off except:
Ignore format changes
EFB Copies to RAM (to Texture for RE Remake as it fix some weird slowdowns in the game, like the one in the front hall of the mansion when the camera shows that ceiling chandelier in front of the stairs)
Texture Cache >> Fast
External Frame Buffer - Virtual
Finished RE0 and REmake with those settings without any slowdowns or cracking sounds.
Switch off HLE audio. Crashing after a star hasn't been a problem for a long time, as long as you are happy giving up sound. Really you only need to disable sound when you run a star stage, otherwise go wild. I don't know that any Dolphin build (ever) has had a universal problem with crashing after nabbing a star.

Yes but how do you enable motion+

It's a special, unofficial Dolphin build that supports m+. It's old now though... besides the m+ working decent, the game didn't run that amazingly at the time so I don't even use the build. If you want to try it, a quick google search should link you there.
Edit: Apparently the guy has updated the build since, but I'm not sure if you have to compile it yourself or not. Personally, it was not worth the effort to set it up; the wrist twisting left and right while moving left and right is impossible to map onto just a stick. The result leaves a lot to be desired.

Aww
Eh, guess I'll get a bluetooth dongle sometime in the future to get my wiimote in sync as a controller.
Thanks for the info!

I have a question about the sensor bar. If I buy a USB sensor bar, do I still need to turn my Wii on in order for the motion controls to work? Or is the PC all I need? I've used Dolphin before just never with my Wii mote.
Nope, you'll be good. You can even light 2 candles lol

That's not an option for me, I don't want to have to hop from one Bluetooth stack to another on a single adapter just so I can use my DS3 wirelessly. It should be illegal to advertise a motherboard's "onboard bluetooth support" if the adapter itself is utter crap.
Ugh. |:< I guess I'll just buy another bluetooth adapter. I just replaced my dedicated WiiMote one that I lost, but I made sure to get a semi-new/expensive one to be sure it could handle the WiiMote+ in real time. Anyone have a suggestion for a stupidly cheap bluetooth adapter that would be good enough for standard controllers? Must be 2.0+EDR compatible, right?
Thanks for your help anyways, just one last question. MotionInJoy+Better DS3 supported pressure sensitive buttons, didn't they? Does SCP?

I wonder if it'll fix Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean \o/ Probably not. Online Brawl is awesome, though.
