Wii NAND speed limitations and low processing power. Also the Wii has a little amount of RAM (24MB of MEM1 + 64MB of MEM2).
Read the previous messages of this thread before this message.
The version that was made for Mania Plus. Which I think is literally just called "No Special Stage Decorations PLUS."
If you want better performance without the game crashing at certain points. put the RSDK in to RetroED and delete the decorations file
Is it possible to fix this in future updates? I'm just stuck on Boss Metal Sonic.
240p doesn't seem to be working on PAL CRTs, when I was playing NTSC GameCube games on Nintendon't I had the same issue with it being in black and white until I forced PAL60. Can you add an option to force PAL60?For anyone having trouble on compiling Sonic Mania for Wii with the new CMake method starting from git 431b6b2, here's my method of how did i build it for Wii (on Windows), with latest devkitPPC/libOGC: (thanks @godreborn for some tips)
1. Open MSYS2
2. Git clone the Sonic Mania decompilation repo by Rubberduckycooly (https://github.com/Rubberduckycooly/Sonic-Mania-Decompilation) with this command: git clone --recursive https://github.com/Rubberduckycooly/Sonic-Mania-Decompilation.git
3. Go into the folder /Sonic-Mania-Decompilation/dependencies/ folder
4. Delete the old RSDKv5 folder
5. Inside the /dependencies/ folder, git clone the RSDKv5 decompilation for Wii repo by Mefiresu (https://github.com/Mefiresu/RSDKv5-Decompilation) with this command: git clone --recursive https://github.com/Mefiresu/RSDKv5-Decompilation.git
6. Rename the RSDKv5-Decompilation folder to RSDKv5
7. Return to the base repo (Sonic-Mania-Decompilation) folder with cd .. several times until you're on the base folder
8. Run this command: cmake -H. -Bbuild-wii -DGAME_STATIC=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/opt/devkitpro/cmake/Wii.cmake
9. Once finished, go to the build-wii folder with cd build-wii
10. Once on the build-wii folder, simply run make
11. Wait for a while to compile...
12. Once finished you'll see your new RetroEngine.dol file ready to use, on the folder /Sonic-Mania-Decompilation/build-wii/dependencies/RSDKv5/
I'm gonna test this build and if we're lucky i will post the new build with Plus DLC enabled here later.
Post automatically merged:
Latest build of Sonic Mania for Wii (with Plus DLC enabled) as of May 15, 2023
With latest commits from:
Mefiresu's RSDKv5 Decompilation for Wii until git 431b6b2
Rubberduckycooly's Sonic Mania Decompilation until git 551516f
This still require the meta.xml file of Sonic Mania from official release of the Wii RSDKv5 decompilation, as well as the Data.rsdk of the game (with the Plus DLC purchased or enabled) to be at root:/RSDKv5/Mania/Data.rsdk
Please test this build, thanks
My fix was baking the mods themselves into the .rsdk file. I have literally zero idea HOW that fixed it, it fixed it for me.
I use a PAL Wii on a PAL CRT TV. I don't know if the version you're using doesn't work, but I have the 240p version of Sonic Mania that's been working by default for a while now. I think I downloaded it from Zorg's website, which you can find on his YouTube channel. As soon as the 240p PAL games are released and the 60p PAL versions appear, you can do it through WiiFlow. Having a Wii and not having WiiFlow is like having eyes and covering them up. It's an absolute necessity
Which program did you use to insert files from mods directly into the data.rsdk file, and there is also a guide on how to use it?
Can you help me out with compiling this myself? I've made some changes to the aspect ratio handling logic so that I can have both 240p AND 16:9, because I've got a lovely SD widescreen Trinitron and setting 240p mode forces 4:3 which I don't want.Requested by my friend @niuus since @godreborn isn't in GBAtemp anymore:
New build of the Wii port of Sonic Mania with support for Plus DLC is OUT!
Compiled until:
git https://github.com/Mefiresu/RSDKv5-Decompilation/commit/c6866243355c41f60ea8413e1f4f541b941e4cd9 (RSDKv5 Wii port)
git https://github.com/RSDKModding/Soni...mmit/49a2af3f9f4e2a37b754b9d88c1119eb4fb9c8e7 (Sonic Mania decompilation)
Please test this build, thanks!
time ago i wrote a message about how to compile this port after they switched to CMake:
Remember, this miniguide assumes that u have installed all the needed devkitPro/devkitPPC, libogc, portlibs, and other needed things including cmake and git, so you'll have to install these before proceeding.For anyone having trouble on compiling Sonic Mania for Wii with the new CMake method starting from git 431b6b2, here's my method of how did i build it for Wii (on Windows), with latest devkitPPC/libOGC: (thanks @godreborn for some tips)

Amazing, thank you! Neither repo made this clear at ALL in the compilation instructions. Finally got it to build!
dont forget to share your modified source code to see what you have changed.
It's been merged into the code, so you can see what I changed with the link to the latest commit on the RSDKv5-Decompilation repo.
I gave your compiled port a try, and I noticed my save file is acting weird. None of my completed Mania Mode/Encore Mode saves carried over, but at least all my gold medallions and extras are there! Should I send you my save file in DMs to verify for yourself?
Hmm I only touched the 240p aspect ratio handling, nothing to do with the saves so I'm not sure what's going on there. Considering your save isn't working with the Wii U port either, I think there's an issue with your save rather than anything to do with two separate ports.
That's what I did, I created a completely fresh save using the Wii port, and opened it in a save editor. I use this save editor website to edit Sonic Mania save files. And even though the port sees a freshly created Sonic and Tails save in Mania Mode on file 1, the save editor sees that the Mania Mode and Encore Mode files are empty. Maybe the saves aren't compatible with the ports? I imported my Steam save to the 3DS port, and it worked flawlessly. All the Mania Mode and Encore Mode saves, plus the gold medallions and extras carried over.
