Hello there! I tried looking into older threads to find a solution but I couldn't find anything that worked. So here goes. I'm new to Dolphin and just ripped Skyward Sword for the second time (using CleanRip [Cleandisk?]... anyways) and I get the black screen that I have pictured below. I hope you guys can help me out. I just discovered this was a method of playing Wii games, having bought Skyward Sword at launch, I was disappointed with how pixelized the graphics looked on my Wii (I've been told my Wii's gou may be partially fried). Anywho. Hope you guys can help me! The only settings I've changed on Dolphin were the resolution and render method (I read Direct X doesn't work, so I tried switching to open GL (didn't help much). In addition, I also tried every other plugin with no luck. Anyways, thanks in advance!

Specs:
Windows 7 64 bit
GTX 670
AMD 8150
Gskill 8gb
1TB WD HDD

Well, you should redump the game again. After that, compare the MD5 hashes.

I'll go ahead and redump it. But what does "MD5 Hashes" mean? And how would one go about comparing two of them? Thanks for the advice all the same!

EDIT: Also, assuming all information would be helpful, I used Wii Back Up manager to get the ISO off of my FAT32 formatted 8GB thumb drive.

That may be the problem, what chunk size did you choose? if you chose max you do not have the full disk image, because fat32 has a max filesize of 4gb, and a single layer disc is 4.37gb.
if this is the case redump with 3gb chunk size

Ah, yeah I was using max, that would probably be the issue. Thanks! I'll update when It finishes dumping.

Format the stick to NTFS and use max again. That way you won't have to deal with parts. Assuming it's single layer, I forget...

I should have mentioned this in a earlier post, but whenever I tried NTFS Cleandisk (or CleanRip, whateveer it's called) says: "No volume of NTFS found" Even though I formatted the device for NTFS

do you still have the multiple chunks?
if so you need to combine them from the command line
run cmd.exe and navigate to the folder with the chunks (cd "path\to\folder")
run copy /b disc.iso.part0 + disc.iso.part1 + disc.iso.part2 finalisoname.iso
replace disc.iso with the name of your chunks

Oh, I need to do that when I have transferred the ISO through Wii Backup Manager? I'll give it a go I suppose...

EDIT: *sigh* I'm really new to using cmd, how do I " navigate to the folder with the chunks (cd "path\to\folder")"? Sorry, like I said, not terribly knowledgeable about this
