Black screen Just Dance 2014

[mbc07]

I compiled this for personal use (and linked in Google Code issue) but it can be useful for those games. It's Dolphin 4.0-202 merged with wiispeak branch: http://www.mediafire.com/download/xme01y379m90kv8/Dolphin-wiispeak-4.0-206-win-x64.7z

Ok, assuming this is for the good of figure this out here is what I know.

tested with wii speak version.
just dance 2014 - black screen no bios.
the hip hope experience.- black screen no bios.
smurfs dance party - workes perfectly.


test with wii NON speak version. ( your build )
just dance 2014 - black screen no bios.
the hip hope experience. - runs no wii mote once games plays.
smurfs dance party - black screen after credits.


Now incidentally the non wii speak 202 has the black screen issues. So what we really need is a 399 ( or greater ) merge with wii speak to get some of these games working.

Just Dance 2014 works flawlessly here with the build I linked or with the latest wiispeak branch build compiled by buildbot...

[ulao]

There must be a setting then making the difference. Any ideas where to look?

[mbc07]

Uh, no... Using the build I compiled or the old one from the buildbot works out of the box, with default settings. Maybe you have a bad ISO dump?

[ulao]

I'll try a re dump, thx. but do take notice the the "hip hope experience" results. Still in order to use that game I needed 399 or so to allow the game to boot. Do you think the wii-speek merge is going to be a while?

also this topic started with that same problem I get?
"The problem comes when you start the game, (Just Dance 2014 - PAL version) with any version of dolphin (2.0,3.0 and 4.0), not loaded FPS and is totally in black, help please!"

[mbc07]

I'm not a dev, and skid already said that "wiispeak branch is on the backburner for now", so, you should stick with the current builds or compile an updated build by yourself...

[ulao]

If you though I was asking you to do something I apologize. I just wanted to do the testing for anyone that needed it. I was able to redump the file and a friend of mine had a pal version I had a chance to try out. They both act the same way.

here is the log for anyone that can read it.

[mbc07]

Uh, that's weird. I usually get an OSREPORT entry in log saying about bad firmware if I use master, but the thing just work with wiispeak branch, so, it may be an issue specific to your computer or OS settings, I'm unsure...

I'm a beginner merging master branch with wiispeak 3.5-1348.

Using Git Extensions, I see that: (1) only the 4.0.0 release is on the master branch, 4.0.1 diverged from the master branch and terminates in 4.0.2., and (2) the latest revision for wiispeak-branch was submitted by skidau on Nov 17, 2013.
[someone please correct me if these observations are incorrect, thanks]

However, I have these small problems:

1) I cannot find version 3.5-1348 of the wiispeak branch because I don't know its commit hash. For the master branch, there is a table (https://dolphin-emu.org/download/) that matches version number with commit hash (e.g. 4.0-595 with e6676b456535b23b8fd5d2cb5bd14c334bdf066c). I could not find such a table for the wiispeak branch; clicking "show all branches" on the webpage above does not help.

2) I want to confirm that Jhonn's merge above has nothing to do with release 4.0.2, instead, 4.0-202 of the master branch was the object that was merged with wiispeak.

3) Would it be a good idea to merge the latest wiispeak rev. (Nov. 17, 2013) with the latest master rev. in order to play Just Dance 2014? Or should I instead just merge the latest master rev. with 3.5-1348 version of the wiispeak branch.

Thank you very much.
