It's pretty straightforward. Right click the game in the game list > Properties > Gecko Codes tab.
Hit the Download Codes button then scroll down and find "Instant Text (160x Normal Text Speed)" and check the box.
Hit the Config button on the toolbar and make sure "Enable Cheats" is checked.

Is the code by any chance US only? I looked for it in the retrieved list and couldn't find it, maybe cause I have the european version of the game

 

[ss_lemonade]

I thought Dolphin uses OpenGL 2.1?

You can select from dx9, dx11, opengl. Dx9 seems to work pretty good for me, never bothered with dx11 despite have a dx11 card

Yeah, codes are usually region unique unfortunately

While the properties window is open, hit the Edit Config button on the bottom left
ctrl+f to text speed modifier
Add a + infront of the first line so it looks like this

+$Text Speed Modifier (XXXX Times Normal Text Speed) [brkirch]

Change 3880XXXX to 388000A0
Save and close
I'm guessing that'd work as it's the equivalent value from the US code

Can anyone tell me the optimal dolphin build and settings for Xenoblade? I'm on some special xenoblade-hacked build and I'm using the 30 fps patch, but in battle i still go down to 20 fps sometimes. Running i5 2500k @ stock 3.3 Ghz.

 

[elektrixx]

on 7719 or whatever the recommended version is, no code works on the PAL version of Skyward Sword.

Odd, most of the gameplay relevant codes work fine on 7719 for the US version.

Is there any way to run this on a regular wii version of the game? it would be a godsend.

I have my skyward sword backup loaded off a USB harddrive BTW, using the GAF Wii Homebrew Guide.

-Idk if I asked this here before, but is there any way to get rid of the bug-caught and item-grabbed notifications, like the Rupee notifications every time you booted Twilight Princess for example?

 

[-PXG-]

What versions are you guys using? I'm on 3.0-354-dirty. Anything I should know or any tweaks and ehancements I should use. Oh, also, my specs:

i5 2500k
GTX 560 (x2)
16 GB RAM
Windows 7 (64 bit)

I'm using a real Wiimote. My turn my Wii on to power my sensor bar.

Of course. The poster I was quoting was implying there might be issues with the HD3000 and OpenGL.

Could someone upload a video of the early Metroid Prime 3 demo that was recently leaked?

 

[Beats]

Does anyone know if there's a limit to the number of codes (lines) you are allowed to use in Dolphin? If there is, is there any way to increase it? I'm playing through Tales of Symphonia 2, and started modifying a number of encounters to make them more difficult but when I launch the game it crashes at the start now :|

I remember there being something that allowed 8000+ lines when I played one of the Brawl mods, but I don't know if that would work with Dolphin or if there is something similar.

edit: After digging through revision changes it looks like it only allows 231 lines. I just happened to hit exactly that, and can't add anymore.

Except MGS3, I doubt you could have chosen worse screenshots to prove this point.

 

[Mechanized]

That GoW pic looks worse than the game running on a SDTV.

What's this now?

Also snagged these off BlackBeetleKing as possible avatars post RP January:

What's wrong with the other two pics? I mean maybe if you stare at them from an inch away you can see a tiny bit of aliasing, but other than that they look fine to me.

That GoW pic looks worse than the game running on a SDTV.

Yeah, no.

 

[Red]

The GoW pic looks like a bad mid-90s CG demo.

 

[Rufus]

Yeah, looks like Olympus has no textures. Is that a glitch, or did I just never notice that on an SDTV?

so mission success?

Metroid Prime 3 E3 03/03/2006 Prototype
http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36899

Info:
Name: Metroid Prime 3 E3 Prototype demo (For Gamecube dev hardware)

Date: 03/03/2006
Dumped: 11/22/2011

Dumper: emu_kidid
Source: NPDP Cart

Info:
This prototype demo was developed to run on Gamecube hardware (GDEV?) with 128MB RAM. It was found on an NPDP Cart and dumped via usual methods. Videos of it running at E3 can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzATtZ8RraI although what is dumped here is an even earlier version as you will see (although it looks very similar) since it's running with an actual Wii remote and nunchuk and it appears to be further developed. It appears to be compiled with a strange version of the SDK as it has "RVL" strings for WPAD and KPAD dating back to 2005.

Getting this running:
Either try on a GDEV, or use Dolphin-emu with 128MB emulated RAM size.
Shuffle2 was kind enough to make a version of Dolphin-emu (http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/) to run this early prototype. A x64 pre-compiled version is provided in this archive, otherwise, you'll need to compile your own from these changes (http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu...588ec218d1d0ba).

What is the IPS patch for?:
The patch will simply change the GameId (first 4 bytes of the Disc Image) to "GM2E" so that Dolphin can run it (as a Gamecube Game).

Credits:
- ASSEMbler community for their donations to get this out there
- shuffle2 for his Dolphin-emu work on getting this specific prototype demo running

Nailed it. I don't see a difference.

Lol, I just played a few minutes of Skyward Sword on a Wii & HDTV.

I'm never ever doing that again.

dolphin just crashes whenever i use the textspeedup or the instant text

any one else encountered this?

sure you're using a fairly recent build? it's only been fully implemented a bit ago

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Amazing how much better Brawl looks. But that's what a gen difference should be.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Would you mind posting some non "art shots" of Melee? I'd love to see 1080p Fountain of Dreams in a natural setting.

 

[Anony]

i'm using the old build, 7719m or something
did any of the new dolphin builds fix the skyward sword graphics?

 

[Borman]

Using OSX, so things arent as quick or as bug-free as the Windows version. Here are some shots of the Metroid Prime build anyway:

They've improved. The 7700+ builds are around 5 months old by now.

The reflection breaks the widescreen hack.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Ick.

 

[udivision]

I'm sorry, at this point the Melee stuff isn't particularly impressive or good looking like some of the other stuff we've seen in this thread. It's cool nonetheless...

For a game over a decade old, it scales up better than a lot of current Wii games. I'd be the first to tell you fountain of dreams isn't a good representation of it, especially when half of the shot is obscured by an effect that doesn't gracefully scale.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Yeah, not exactly what I was expecting since Fountain of Dreams looks so gorgeous when playing in SD.

Character models still look ace though.

 

[Thrakier]

AA has nothing to do with your CPU, it relies entirely on your GPU

I don't think that's true in the dolphin context because AA comes always with a significant performance hit.

 

[Red UFO]

Man, when I first saw the reflection on the Fountain of Dreams I was in awe.

 

[RS4-]

Ok, since I'd rather not play Skyward Sword on my Wii is there a solution for this particular problem?

I don't have a wireless sensor bar alone by itself, so I just have the Wii plugged in (but off); I do have the wiimote paired with my PC and everything works fine except for games like Skyward Sword, Red Steel 2, etc where I have to calibrate the cursor. For example in SS, after you lay the wiimote down on a flat surface, it asks you to point to the center of the screen and push A.

I can't unless I turn on the Wii long enough to get the cursor up, then I turn off the Wii.

Is it possible to bypass this step?

 

[Appleman]

I'm actually surprised that the reflection resolution scales with the output resolution. Looks WAY better in dolphin than on the actual Cube.

Also love how they seem to be using N64-esque models in the reflection

 

[Utako]

Naturally the core assets aren't as "impressive," but you can't say meh to good art direction, which Brawl has in hearts and spades.

So, I'm thinking about messing around with Dolphin a bit now that my sister took my Wii back to school (she's just using it for Netflix). Here are my MacBook Pro's specs:

Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz
4 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

Do you think I'll be able to run Dolphin?

You won't be getting terribly pleasing results with that. I was using a similar setup at one point and performance for Wii games is pretty iffy with such specs. I had a e6600@3GHz and a 7950GT for reference. If you have the rig you could also test it yourself I guess.

Yes.. I've toy'ed with dolphin on my i3 imac w/ 512 ATI Radeon HD 5670, some games will work some won't. Mario kart, muramasa, smash bros are alright(with some tweaks). Mario Galaxy 1& 2 are a lag fest due to all the physics going on. It seams that most low processor and low gpu demanding games run fine on it.

Just gotta see what flies with your settings.
