Check if you actually have the global "Enable Cheats" checkbox checked. In Config -> General.

2 things:

1. Timesplitters 2 needs to have MMU enabled in the game settings to work properly, but it isn't enabled by default as of build 9399.

2. Spiderman 2 runs super slow in ogl and has crazy problems in dx11 where random textures are either not being loaded or are being made transparent so you end up seeing through buildings and Spidey is just a pair of glowing eyes.

There's no bug report thing on the website as far as I can see, but since there are at least a couple devs who read this I figured the messages would get where they need to go.

It's around if you go to the forums or the wiki. We don't plaster it all over the homepage simply because we already actually get a lot of bug reports and they tend to be fairly low-quality.

Any tips on what separates low quality reports from high? Submitting bug reports isn't something I do often and I'm about to submit these two, but now I'm worried they're gonna be tossed out for being crap.

Just be polite, make sure you tested your problem on a recent emulator version, and use some common sense. If you know that a thing worked at some point but now no longer does, it helps if you can provide the version it stopped working on, too.

Thanks. In that case I think I'll hold off until I can test on an earlier build just in case, and maybe a screenshot of spidey 2 is in order.

Super Mario Galaxy looks so good in HD, it's ridiculous. I actually feel kinda bad for the devs being quite obviously held back by hardware limitations from showing off what they were able to accomplish.

If I were to want to request Dolphin being able to support ds3/4 sixaxis/gyro for emulated wiimote control, would that be best off as a "bug report" on the tracker that can be converted by you guys, or just a thread in the Controller section of the forum?

So according to my bug report getting silently listed as a duplicate and removed, the spidey 2 being completely broken in dx11 issue has been known for a whole year but no one ever bothered to update the wiki entry for it.

That's been fixed.

Holy poo poo, if those games are running at full speed, Citra has made a hell of a lot of progress in the few months since I checked on it last.

Not sure what you're talking about with "only 1 and 2", since all three games use the wiimote.

It's been years since i've played it on Dolphin, but here's my controls pre-set, it might be helpful:


I don't quite remember if the things bound to the logitech controller are used in the games at any points, they might just be left over from a previous control scheme or they might be very rarely used. I do remember that i set LCONTROL to give me a very easy ball jump button (swing up & tilt back)

3 has a whole lot of motion control stuff, I thought, so I figure I'll just play that on the actual hardware if at all.

E: is there a N64 emulation thread?

As far as I'm aware, the current best solution for N64 emulating is to play the Virtual Console versions through Dolphin.

That's all well and good, but the game I want to emulate is Banjo-Kazooie, by which I mean I want to find out how to make the jigsaw-puzzle screen transitions look right.

Well there's always Rare Replay if you have an xbox one. I don't think that problem was ever solved on n64 emulators without causing a lot of slowdown.

Banjo-Kazooie should emulate well overall, but Banjo-Tooie is, uh

It's pretty unplayable, unless you are insanely lucky

For the uninformed like me, why is it that the state of N64 emulation is so bad, whereas the state of more modern consoles, such as the PS2 and the Wii, is so good?

The versions of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie on Rare Replay are the same ones you can download for the 360, so you don't need a Bone for those.

Lack of interest and something about really low texture cache space so cartridges were being used to stream in the textures instead of the console itself. Also Nintendo's microcode stuff was not given to 3rd parties for awhile so 3rd parties hard to develop their own solutions for games.

Basically a lot of the games have real hacky solutions to get them to work on the actual console much less on an emulator.

I don't know if i'd say PS2 emulation is in that good of a state unless there's been some serious improvements lately, but it's because the N64 was such a loving weird system to program games for and that led to lots of games having very weird code that is very difficult to emulate properly since most emulators aren't that accurate and only really properly emulate very basic titles that don't rely too much on weird workarounds.

Rare games are very big, and very ambitious and very complicated on a technical scale. That can make them a nightmare.

PS2 emulation has been more than fine for like 2-3 years, and has even been relatively active (like on Dolphin's level) as of late.

Yeah a few games don't work still with hardware mode (looking at you ace combat series and king's field: the ancient city) but most games work just fine now.
