4 more issues with the latest official builds

[PawsofHorror]

1. Sniper Elite USA is not working at all, I tried openGL, vulkan, no hacks, all hacks and even used a USA Wii NAND but nothing, the game will give me a black screen on every launch and if I try to launch the game via the disc channel it will crash!
Haven't seen any other Wii game do that to me before.

2. I get this error when I put a 1.02 bios in the JAP folder

MD5 of bios is b17148254a5799684c7d783206504926

If I'm not wrong this bios is both USA and Japan and if I press and hold the button A while launching a Japanese game some sort of options will appear and everything is written in Japanese and the games launch fine so I don't know why I get this warning in the first place...

3. I think this must be a region lock related problem, the Japanese and European gc/Wii games won't be recognized in the disc channel when using a USA nand/system menu and the usa games and probably European gc/Wii games don't get recognized in the Japanese nand/system menu

4. GameCube games get recognized by the disc channel but when I launch them im stuck in a black screen.

You're correct. Dolphin is just wrong about this.

Yes, it's because of region lock. The GameCube IPL and the Wii Menu work just like on real consoles, rejecting games from other regions.

For 4 you need MIOS installed for GameCube games to boot on the System Menu just like on the Wii.

I need to use the MIOS v10 wad?
Sorry still new to this ?

Having a fully setup NAND should allow GameCube games to boot from the system menu. This isn't something I have tested in Android though because it's thoroughly pointless to do when most games barely run.

I will try using my NAND then but I don't know what fully setup means exactly ?

Do I need to install a specific channel or something?
The only thing I found about MIOS is a small sized WAD with many revisions which can't be seen in the mobile Dolphin so I couldn't test it.
Maybe it needs to be installed as a WAD like in the computer Dolphin which has a "install WAD" feature but the mobile Dolphin lacks this feature?


What do you mean by most games barely run?
I already tried around 200 games for GC and Wii and everything except Sniper Elite boots with full or nearly full speed and only Resident Evil Code Veronica X has a few graphical glitches which slowly get reduced by every new build and Eternal Darkness is broken in the official builds but runs in the MMJ builds (to be honest the Wii games run fast in the MMJ builds for me, I get around 10-15 more FPS with no extra bugs)

I see that OpenGL is very bugged in many phones but Vulkan is nearly perfect (atleast for me) and the mobile Dolphin lacks a lot of features from the computer version but we are slowly getting feature after feature and catching up with the computer version! (or should I say many things missing from the GUI because a lot of missing options can be tweaked in the ini file of the mobile version)
Speaking of the MMJ builds why are they so much faster, run more games and have more extra features than the official builds?
If they have more hacks to get better speed I would imagine that games would be more broken but games run with the same amount of glitches as the official builds and some games like Eternal Darkness don't ever run in the official but run in the MMJ so I'm very curious about how they made them to run both more accurate and faster!
Is the owner also working on the official builds because I'm sure he would help them improve a lot.

I grabbed the latest PC dolphin and used my NAND with it, GameCube games run fine via the Disc Channel so I guess it's a problem with the Android builds!

Hopefully this will be working some day

Just wanted to confirm that the Japanese bios no longer give any errors in the latest Android builds!
