This is a really weird case... just when everyone was expecting a leaked PAL version (due to swiss stores selling the game earlier) we got the NSTC iso.

Well I'm not sure if I hit a spot where some type of AP kicks in... right when I first jumped to get onto my bird, the screen went white and now it's just stuck there. Gonna reset and see if hopefully it's just a glitch.

[EDIT] Well apparently it was a one time thing cause now it's working. I have noticed my HDD is clicking here and there so might be time to get a new drive...

Earlier today (while i was waiting for download) i asked if it worked in Dolphin. The reason i haven't checked back for an answer is because i've been to busy. Playing Skyward Sword. On Dolphin. So yes, it works!

So i apologize if anyone already covered this.

It runs very well. I'm on a macbook pro running win 7 64 trough bootcamp. (can't be bothered restarting and testing os x)
Intel Core i7-2720GM CPU @ 2.20 Ghz
8 GB RAM

I'm using dolphin r7718 (you can get it on the official site under archive, or what they call it). Read it somewhere earlier this morning while i was waiting for the leak.
dolphin settings:
General tab: Backend: Direct3D11. fullscreen resolution: 1280x720. V-Sync: checked
Enchancements: Internal resolution: 2xnative. Anti-aliasing: 2 samples.

That's all i've changed.

The only thing i've noticed this far is that the dof is a LITTLE funky (i can only presume, since i haven't played in on a wii) - still very beautiful!

NOW, i've only been playing shortly, but it's been running flawless (might crash later on who knows).

I'm travelling alot, so macbook+wii-mote+wireless sensor bar > 50"tv+wii+wii-mote+sensor (you get my point) :D
Just hope the hole game will run flawless :) (looking forward to see how it will handle the fire effects)

Anywho, that was my little rant. I have to go play some SS now!

I just realized that tempbot changed the name to "#XXXX -". Maybe because he readed this post?

this is a scene release? It has the same filename (ws_tlozss_ntsc_multi3) and link size (9x500MB) that appeared in the discussion topic at "that site". I'm still downloading the links that appeared first there (but now these link are removed from the forum because it was uploaded by someone outside the "that site").

Actually, the first webpage that reported that filename was an Argentinean forum :D . So I guess the release goes to them.

One more thing,did Crediar ever come up with a working Time Limit Code for the Demo..I am now sinking my teeth into that while waiting for my game to download. If there isnt one I am going to use Wiird and search for one myself...although timers..visible or not can be tricky to find sometimes...

The new Zelda is finally here!

And, the first "REAL" Zelda for Wii (since Twilight Princess was a GameCube port)

There is an ASSLOAD of music in this game. 238 tracks in a main folder and then another 55 in a "demo" folder. I just wish I could figure out how to get track names instead of random hex value names...

735MB of music
600MB of sounds
1.7GB of movies
530MB of levels and textures
175MB of other stuff

I guess that someone should change the release name because it hints to a warez website (like Cyan have done to my previus post), and if fact... they didnt upload the game after all.

    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag

    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared

    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
