Big improvements to Real Wiimotes on Windows 8 onward: Wii Remote Pluses now work without needing some hosed up custom bluetooth stack, and they support Wiimote audio! Y'know, out of that tiny little speaker that previously only screamed static gibberish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3JkJjvB0ZY The Kins fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Dec 20, 2015 |

December progress report is up. Real Wiimote improvements, video fixes all over the shop, support for loading Gamecube/Wii system fonts from the Gamecube IPL, and a feature freeze scheduled for January 7th in preparation for the big 5.0!

the solution is to play skies of arcadia instead but yeah i dunno, metroid prime 3 has a similar issue and apparently the fix for that it to untick "enable speaker data", so give that a try, i guess?

Really impressed with Dolphin lately. I got a projector in my new home theatre installed and bought a pretty beefy HTPC for emulation and VR stuff. I also bought a Dolphin Bar specifically so I could have effortless Wiimote support. Games work great. It's awesome being able to play even Mario Galaxy and even Wii Sports Resort in 1080p on a big 120" screen.

Is it at all possible to get at least some Wii games playable on a i7-2640m (Sandy Bridge 2.8/3.5Ghz) with HD3000? Admittedly I wasn't using the latest version for the test but it seemed to almost work - like, Mario Kart would run ok until there was more stuff going on, then it'd drop to like 40fps. Which would be good enough for me, but the emulated games are basically unplayable due to all the lag stuttering.

Probably not, it seems like you're running into GPU bottlenecks. Mario Kart Wii is pretty shader heavy I think. You might have better luck with Gamecube games.

What you're mostly running into with stuttering is shader compiles. We're (slowly, it's a hard problem) working on ubershaders, but in the meantime, simply playing through the game will eventually help the stutter, since we do cache the compiled shader binary.

The CPU is actually 2640m, not 2620m. Updated the post but it hardly matters.SwissCM posted:Probably not, it seems like you're running into GPU bottlenecks. Mario Kart Wii is pretty shader heavy I think.  although it didn't fare much better on my (Q6600, 650Ti Boost) desktop. Gamecube stuff runs perfectly fine but looks like rear end in comparison.Suspicious Dish posted:What you're mostly running into with stuttering is shader compiles. We're (slowly, it's a hard problem) working on ubershaders, but in the meantime, simply playing through the game will eventually help the stutter, since we do cache the compiled shader binary. You're right, the actual serious stuttering goes away eventually, but it's still quite slow with seriously choppy audio. That's ok if it won't run faster on a 5 YO mobile CPU, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a config issue on my end. Also just tried the latest build and it seems to be way slower, is it compiled in debug mode or something?  Anyway, thanks for your work, I'd love to help but my graphics experience is mostly with homebrew raytracing stuff and very basic OpenGL stuff.

January Progress Report. HD texture packs can now cast their hideous shadow over multiple regions of a game, an input timing fix squashes an eight-year-old Sonic Heroes bug, Androids now support the Gamecube adaptor, various graphical fixes, and the Dolphin team dip into the bargain bin to find games to test... with mixed results. Also, a feature added three years ago only just got noticed, heralding in official support for Skylanders portals and certain other USB things.

I'm finally getting around to moving my whole collection onto my PC and I'm noticing some games, such as Skies of Arcadia Legends, have different compatibility ratings than what are on the wiki. For that game it's 4 on the wiki and 3 in Dolphin. I am running the latest Windows build (4.0-8867) so I'd figure that that would be it, but at least according to the wiki it should be good up to that revision I think?

Doesn't really mean anything, they aren't automatically kept in sync. I'd guess the Wiki ratings are more accurate.

Hey all, in a bit of a bind here. Was on the xenoblade chronicles emulation train 4 years back, Switched to a new computer, copied everything to a new hard drive, 32x to 64x. I am just now getting back to it, got the game working with a 64x build of dolphin but unfortunately my save states are not working. I have tried a few different builds of dolphin from 4.0, 3.5, and 3.0 but it just keeps crashing. Any ideas? For example if I were to throw one of my save states up, any chance someone could grab it and save the game to an emulated save or any such wizardry?

If you still have the old build (or at least remember what it was; if it was a sound hack you might have to be specific about it), dig it up, save to an actual save file, then upgrade to ... probably the current nightlies. If the build properties are written plain in the save state, this will help. I don't use save states in Dolphin so I wouldn't know. Also you and anyone else this hits close to home should take notice that save states are a temporary save format for this very reason and almost always have been. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Feb 24, 2016 |

February's post is up: https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2016/03/01/dolphin-progress-report-february-2016/ Regarding D3D12: quote:The D3D12 backend is still experimental. Currently, it lacks bounding box support (Super Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Mickey's Magical Mirror and a few others), External Frame Buffer support (GameCube Main Menu, many games), and Performance Queries (Super Mario Sunshine goo). Games that require these features will not work correctly. On top of that, as with anything new, there could be various bugs that the other backends do not suffer from. While users are encouraged to try out the new backend, please understand if there are problems for the time being while it matures. Also note that only Windows 10 currently supports D3D12, and only PCs running Windows 10 will be able to use the new backend.

The thing that's exciting about DX12 isn't that we now support DX12, it's that supporting DX12 is forcing us to clean up our code so it suits modern GPUs and drivers better, because we just have to do things correctly. So expect to see performance improvements across the board because of cleanups in VideoCommon.

I was actually surprised Dolphin went with DX12 first than Vulkan, but I suppose the latter will come later either way.

I'm kind of hoping that eventually there'll be a Metal backend, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Anybody's guess whether that will happen before or after Apple support for Vulkan.

You should still use the newest development version, 4.0 is dated as gently caress and there's been a ton of progress including game stability fixes and improvements to performance since its release.

I've seen other games crash after exactly 15 minutes if you have a touchscreen and it being reported as being caused by XAudio2_7.dll. Personally I've run into it with Street Fighter V and Resident Evil 4.

What could cause a game to not register Action Replay codes? Playing through Fire Emblem - Path of Radiance. Right click on the rom in the Dolphin window, properties, AR codes. Checked a few, added 2 - "master code" and "bexp". Made sure they were for the US version, which is what I got. The config looks like this: [ActionReplay_Enabled] $Max Luck(IKE) $Bexp $EXP? $Master code [ActionReplay] $Bexp 04330724 0000270F $EXP? 04330724 0000270F $Master code C4221BA4 0000FF01 None of this has an effect in-game, whether I load a save state or restart a chapter from the game menu. What could be the problem, and how do I fix it?
