I recommend using Git Extensions, because TortoiseGit is really immature.
After you've successfully checked out the repository in git, use the "pull" command to get upstream changes.

This is weird, in 7714 I was able to play Xenoblade with 25 FPS no problem. Now in this version, using the same settings, I'm running 18-22 FPS.
I know it's not the resolution either, because I dropped that down to 1xNative and 1X AF and there was no change in FPS.
Here are the settings I'm using now:

I also had this graphical issue when I saved my game:

To update, you can just copy over and overwrite the files from the new build's archives into your existing Dolphin directory. Your saves don't get overwritten.
Googled this about exporting saves, haven't tried it myself. To import, just go to Tools > Wii Save Import.

A bit of old-school browser-tree:
saves:
dolphin --> x64 --> user --> wii --> title --> 00010000 (copy this folder to the same location in the other dolphin version)

00010001 would be WiiWave or VC saves right?Ryoma-Echizen said:
I've played this game several hours on my Wii and I just love dissecting some of the tricks they used to achieve such great draw distance. Some obvious choices are switching to low poly models once you're a certain distance away (like the whole town there). Another less obvious one is the trees. It's much easier to tell in the shot above, but from that distance trees are just flat sprites.BlackBeetleKing said:

*shrugs* I know there's some major rewriting being done on the texture cache. The SVN/git snapshots are works in progress and there's no guarantee a new version won't introduce bugs that earlier versions didn't have. You might just want to use r7714 for Xenoblade and use the build I uploaded for TWW.

I'm interested in using getting into this but has anyone been able to play Another Code: R (PAL) with no problems? Also, is the Wii remote and Nunchuck required to play games? Or can I use keyboard and mouse or something else like a 360 controller?

Yeah, I figured that might have been the case. I'll do just that, I was just hoping I could ditch 7714. Once again thanks.
In 7714, I don't have that problem. That's what made me O_O when I saved on this version. Interesting enough, after I imported my save from 7714 to this one I saved over it and the image wasn't messed up.desu said:

There's a way to improve in a big way your performance with this game (and this also affects sound behaviour).
First of all, sorry for my english, I'll try explain myself clearly enough.
What you have to do is just going to the game list in your Dolphin build, make click with the right-button on Xenoblade and, then, in that window and in that tab, you have to check the Vbeam attribute
Try it and tell us how it's going

So is build 7714 better than the 3.0 release build for Xenoblade? I keep getting sound glitches after a couple minutes that require a restart to fix. Game looks beautiful though.

I love this.
You explained yourself fine, btw.
This may have been asked, and I apologize. I finally set up Xenoblade (brother brought it back from EU!), ripped then copied to my pc... title screen looks great, haha. I can't get past that cause I can't set up my 360 controller as a classic controller. I have it set as a gcpad fine, but its looking for a classic controller or nunchuck. Do I need xpadder? I tried to configure the classic controller but it wouldn't read the inputs from the 360 controller.

This was already checked for me, so I unchecked it. It didn't make any difference for my FPS. I'll just stick to 7714 for XB and the newer one for TWW.tiku said:There's a way to improve in a big way your performance with this game (and this also affects sound behaviour).

Just starting to mess about with dolphin. Can you save different profiles for different configurations? eg save a certain setup for xenoblade and another for a different game which requires other settings. Also, can the settings be put back to default? I cant find an option.

I don't think so, or at least I've never seen that.Citizen K said:
Most of the time people probably just keep a separate build with each game. A lot of games seem to have specific builds that they just work really well with so that's not a bad idea.

The HLE audio patch is supposed to help, but I was getting a lot of garbage in the audio even with the patch. You need a good CPU regardless.Citizen K said:
Couldn't put up with the crackling, just playing it on the Wii now.

Is the sound still crap in Skies of Arcadia? Or has that been resolved?

Just wanted to thank everyone who has been posting advice and settings on Xenoblade and Dolphin in general. Finally got mine working pretty well, getting random audio crackling, but its not too bad. The first section with Dunbar had FPS dropping to 20-ish every once in a while, but 20fps looked a lot better than i expected it to. After it shifted to the other character, pretty much getting constant 30fps. Running it on r7714M, with a Phenom II x4 945 at about 3.3/3.4.
Easytune doesn't increase the voltage though iirc. You have to increase the voltage very little and work your way up with frequencies until it remains stable.
I'd suggest getting a whole new CPU instead.
Video card is almost meaningless in emulation. There's things to try and spread the load to them to help the cpu but they're experimental.daycru said:

You mean with motion+ built into the controller? If so, thats cool cos I'll probably get one with zelda skyward sword ltd edition.
Anyone ever use a wireless nunchuck with dolphin? My guess its a no go.
Also, can anyone recommend a decent wireless sensor bar (decent battery life/rechargable)?
