#Dolphin Emulator

[systemdeez]

It's kind of funny that there's no malicious copy protection stuff in Wii games, even though it should be really easy to do.

The Wii used motion controls for a bunch of games and you'd think some games would try to detect whether or not you're using an emulator based on motion input. Why isn't any game just like "Huh, every time the controller is shaken it's done at the EXACT same frequency? Time to crash the game lol."

I have a Wii games folder on my PC that's almost 50 gigabytes in size and not one of those games seems to care that it's being emulated.

NO LONGER BEING UPDATED

emulation sources

roms megathread (ssa wii u internet archive download) (may require cdecrypt if not downloading roms through usbhelper) dolphin wiki + download rpcs3 wiki + download cemu wiki + download zadig (if using a real portal. i know dolphin and rpcs3 have portal emulation, unsure with cemu) prototype builds: giants builds (useful info), ssa xpec builds, swap force build, superchargers build

will update if i get any more information. feel free to add anything additional info based on stuff i've toyed with (i don't know my specs): > you may need to allow a usb passthrough in dolphin, it's in the config > as stated on the wikis, cemu requires updating the usb input driver while dolphin requires zadig to have it changed to a libusb/winusb driver (either work about half the time. technology moment). the portal is under spyro porta. i recommend having separate portals for cemu and dolphin so you don't need to mess with drivers > i used vulkan graphics for cemu and default for dolphin. i'm not a tech guy though so just play with whatever works best ig i just use default settings. portal compatability guide > for dolphin gif making, i used 8x msaa anti aliasing and had the internal resolution as 1920x1080. for the most part it ran average on a half dead computer from 2015. i'd recommend 1280x720 w/ no or minimal anti aliasing though > ssa and giants' main gameplay both ran mostly fine with vbi skip on (though i haven't checked heroic challenges) with occasional drops to 12fps, only superchargers racing's first cup and parts of the second have been tested > never used rpcs3 and i don't know if citra can run skylanders games, until i learn more it'll be absent > swap force is pretty broken on cemu, lawl > ir sensors for dolphin will need to be configured if using something like an xbox controller, have relative input on so the cursor doesn't snap back to the middle > ssa and giants can lag often and being in the ruins starting from around the middle part of the game will be noticeably slower. co-op is very slow. cemu handles co-op great though and generally is pretty fast > if you wanna play online with a friend, get parsec > if not using the console's controller type, i'd recommend just using your own controls rather than setting them to whatever makes sense (like having the trigger be your primary instead of something like A w/ an xbox controller) > if the game lags hard enough your skylander might disconnect for a sec (only experienced in giants when recording with obs). pausing the game for a couple seconds if having lag usually fixes it > dolphin games run fine when being recorded w/ obs or streamed on discord. haven't checked cemu yet > cutscenes in dolphin always have a weird like. screen tearing? thing? as far as i know there's no way to fix it, but they play fine besides that > newer (experimental) versions of cemu seem to break with skylanders >if you're getting wii u roms from the internet archive you'll need to get cdecrypt. its newest release is super easy to use (drag the rom folder onto it and it'll do everything for you, thank god) >dolphin is the only emulator with freecam >superchargers racing was buggy on both computers i got it on. 2015 pc wouldn't launch it and my 2022 laptop disconnects the portal after every race, requiring the game to be restarted >cemu would crash after doing about two races (updated 31/8/2024. added another piece of info)

Omg not me blinking in every single screenshot 😭 Anyways, I enjoyed the fall fishing tourney this morning. Apparently the best fishing is between 6am and 9am so I literally skipped breakfast to make sure I'd win lol. The first large bass I caught was only 21 inches so I kept going until I got a 27-incher (the maximum length). Looking forward to my trophy 😏🏆

P.S. I forgot that Tortimer just gives you a trophy whether you win or not? How pointless lol (there is a separate trophy for winning though).

does anyone in this thread use dolphin emulator and know how to solve a problem with the a button not working in certain circumstances

for context i've been playing mysims games with my keyboard as controls on dolphin emulator and it works pretty well except i can't click anything during character customization or use any paint tools and i don't know why? and i don't know what to look up that will be helpful since most user control problems on dolphin are in regards to external controllers not working

So I was thinking of playing World of Goo recently, and I had a thought.

Is it ethical to emulate old (games made in the seventh generation or older) indie games?

Please tell me y'alls thoughts on this, it'll inform my decisions

Your character is so cute!! I was wondering, are the clothes, hair, and eyes a texture hack or are they available in game :0 I adore the pink look!

thank you!! they're textures hacks, the outfit is recolored from the red victorian dress. i uploaded it here if you want to use it! enable "load custom textures" in dolphin and put it in documents -> dolphin emulator -> load -> textures -> (RBIEE9/CBIEE9) the eyes are for angela, so if you're playing as molly you'll have to edit it yourself, someone already made a tutorial for that here!

hope you enjoy <3

first attempt at making legendary variants. camo and warnado i'm happy with but wham-shell and sunburn def need a redo down the line [id: eight in game screenshots of camo, warnado, wham-shell, and sunburn, with their textures changed to look like legendary skylanders (dark blue & gold). four screenshots are within the magic moment, and the other four are close-ups of the characters inside the ruins. all of the ui is invisible]
