Wii #XXXX - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (USA)

[sieurvaa]

Hey guys, this is for those who may want to play it on Dolphin.

This is my Dolphin config. Skyward Sword runs perfectly on it : no graphics issues, no sound issues and no framerate issues. I was getting lighting/shadows issues while running with Dx9, but it disappeard with Dx11. Don't forget to deactivate Cache Display Lists in the Hack tab, or Link's sword will be invisible.

Version : Dolphin 7692M



Depending on your hardware, you may want to tweak a little anti-aliasing, internal resolution and anisotropic filtering in the Enhancements tab

what do i need to do to get cfg usb loader to boot the game from disc without giving a partition error? helllllllllllllllp ;-) lol ty
all my IOS and bases are updated according to the wiiflow wiki chart.

i launch cfg usb loader, wait, change to load from sd card, select the only fat partition and then it launches the GUI to CFG USB Loader. I select Boot Disc and it recognizes the disc, but I get an error about an Open Partition.

Although you are an advanced member, so pardon my dutch, just to make sure, you're not trying this on a red/black or recent white wii with a D3-2 DVD drive? because that won't ever work.

Won't matter if he uses an USB Loader

of course if he loads the game from usb/sd then there is no problem, but he was trying to boot the disc from/within the usbloader.

Never used burned discs, but if its a launch wii and hacked, cant it just run burned discs from the disc channel? I have a launch wii as well.

What about running it on Wiiflow? I have the newest version installed, and all the newer d2x files from the Wiki, but it just takes me back to the Wii Menu as well...

READ! You have to turn disable autoreload IOS on. Or whatever its called in Wiiflow. Its a default in CFG. I have said this about 20 times today.

So many noob questions here. If only you bastards would read instead of asking the same questions over and over.

Well we do have about 28 pages so I highly doubt a newcomer would read through and see if the question was already asked.

[ZainHaq]

Hey thanks man, that's actually very thoughtful of you! I needed this. (now we'll see how it runs on my mac)

 

[misticknight]

Anyone else have this happen to em? I loaded it this morning fine (after leaving it to DL all night) then i turned it off and when i tried to play again it stopped working.So i restarted tried again and it still didnt work. I installed the d2x files after just incase and it worked so its not really a problem but it was still weird , i mean why work to begin with? Since peopel are saying those files were needed for kirby i played and finished kirby fine without ever installing d2x, before today i hadn't updated my Wii for a year. i think i was still on cIOS rev 14 actually lol.

And yet again.

it should be 4.6 GB like every other wii iso, so you're having a incomplete iso. Even the wbfs file is 4.1gb, wich could be cleaned by kicking out the motion+ demo video's in 3 languages from the iso with wii scrubber (120mb). Then it could be fit without file splitting on a sd/usb stick with fat32 ;-).

 

[impizkit]

Games are normally 4.39GB not 4.6GB

 

[Krestent]

Thread is TL; DR. Is there anything special needing to be done to launch this?

I figured it out, use player.dol as the alternate .dol. And voila, done! You can switch it back after loading it.
