The US version of The Wonderful 101 sure took a long time to load, I didn't time it but the wait felt like an eternity. Once inside the game, however, the load times are fine.

However, the game seems to have other issues:

- I am on a EU/PAL system with English language settings and yet the game defaulted to Japanese subtitles in the first level. What is super weird is that when I went to the options there is no setting for Japanese subtitles, just Deutsch, Francais, Italiano, Espanol and English but changing this did nothing. So the game is loading subtitles it isn't supposed to have...?
- There's also some audio problems, all the audio (music/effects/voices) will occasionally drop out for half a second and during cutscenes the voices tend to miss cues, resulting in them not always being able to finish playing before another one starts.

Anyone else experienced this?

Try The_Wonderful_101_EUR_MULTi5_WiiU-ABSTRAKT ;)

I tried it with difference settings and didn't work.
i think he meant that art academy atelier could theoretically be used as a game to launch games via loadiine i.e to replace smash bros, but seeing as its rpx is only 4mb and that the game is like $30 or something anyway it would be a step backwards

Yup. The latest dimok made the audio much better but there is still a small glitch.
Deleting the Japanese folder (or probably English folder if it don't suit your region) results in much faster loading, 15 min for myself. I am thinking that deleting the english folder would bring the load time down to around 4-5 minutes, but the cutscenes wouldn't have any commentary.

there are tools to compress, or it needs the SDK?

PC-Side compression using SDK at present. There is a rpl2elf program as well, not sure where that originated. Decompress, recompress as much as possible. Generally saves 2-5MB so it'll fit in the SSB load size. Think that makes 4 more compatible games with RPX compression. I can't get RPL to compress, get error with ax program or something. I remember golden saying 4MB+ RPL an issue. I get RPL file from running command but its only a few hundred kb smaller and still over 4MB even for ZombiU

TheWonderful101 EU works the same as the USA version, about 15mins on the SSB screen, then it kicks in so if your happy using the USA version changing the us folder to eu then no point!. I was hoping the loading times may of changed using the EU title but there was no difference between the two types.

I was just looking and the funny thing is the eu dump still has the same folders named US & Jap, the same as the USA version, its no different.

Whoever dumped their own version of Dr. Luigi and put it on the compatibility list can you please explain how exactly to go about doing this? here or PM me :D thanks!
run loadiine kernel exploit,
run dumpiine
load up game
exit game and launch mii maker to dump the prx file

then use tcpgecko to dump the filesystem

(ps i dont have dr luigi, but that should be the steps)

It is an application in the SDK that compresses them.

Seems some RPX/RPL try to call additional files during compression. At least one game I know tries to call ax (part of wii u sdk multitools) during compression.

So based on games, we have used different payploads? Or is Dimoks the best because it works with all games supported?
Where is dimoks current payload to download and selfhost?

Compiling is foolishly easy. you need devkitpro and libwiiu. There are more than enough guides around to install and set those up. Much easier on something like ubuntu but not impossible with windows with cygwin. He seems to update the commits about once a day.

hit download zip on the github
extract the files to your libwiiu-master folder
in terminal navigate to the libwiiu-master folder
"cd loadiine-master/installer && make"
run build.py and specify the loadiine-master/installer folder. (for me thats "python Build.py loadiine-master/installer" in the libwiiu-master root)
Copy the elfs and payload532.html files to a folder and host it.

I wrote a simple script to remove the old files, build the new ones and put the new ones in the old files place. Works great. Next will be scripting it to auto-do-everything from cloning/syncing the github to checking for a new commit to auto copying to the webserver and setting proper ownerships.

To add I don't think anything dimok has done resulted in reducing compatibility. I think everything on the list thats green works, and then some.

Wipeout 3 USA (everyones favorite game!) is working with latest dimok commit db96c1. Splatoon EUR v96, not so much. Just freeze, no stack fail message. Bayonetta EUR and Bayonetta 2 EUR, same thing.

WWHD gives a dump now at least, MKart goes futher and so does MMaker but still no go on those. Hello Kitty also does not work for those keeping score.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous
    +3
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol
    +3
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted
    +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
