Can't launch Rogue Squadron 2 with loose .dol file

[CosmicDreams]

Basically what the title says. Trying to figure out formats with someone and can't quickly test things by launching with the dol.

Assuming you're using a recent version of Dolphin, did you extract the game using a recent version of Dolphin? Dolphin expects the folder structure for extracted games to be in a certain way, and only recent versions of Dolphin and a few other programs put the extracted files in that structure.

I'm currently using the latest dev build of Dolphin 5.0.
I forget the exact version number though.

The folder structure of the extracted files is as follows...
Root/Sys/main.dol
Root/Rogue2

Rogue2 contains all the game data.
Moving the contents of the sys folder to the root makes Dolphin throw an error, I forgot what that error was.

What actually happens when loading from the Sys folder is that the game is recognised as RS2 but it stays on a black screen forever with a speed of 0.

That's the wrong folder structure. Try renaming Rogue2 to files. If that doesn't work, please re-extract the game using the version of Dolphin that you currently are running, and you will automatically get the right folder structure.

Working now after putting Rogue2 in files.
Thanks!
