Need help! - [Wii] Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

[colormehappy]

My first post here!

I have been playing Radiant Dawn on the emulator and everything from the sound effects, music, cutscene (works fairly good..I guess) and graphics too were fine, in essence everything is playable. ALBEIT! only the problem which lies in the picture below.. in which the weapons, and particularly BK's armor are blank..


(I had also been meddling with the configs like using DX9 above to try fixing the issue, using the OpenGL scores me a 100% speed )

I am using the Dolphin 2.0 RC1, and have heard about the different versions called SVN (which I dont really know what they are really ) so I think I may need some advice about these, or the config..

Specs (pls point out if missing anything )

Intel Core2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz
Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS
4 gigs ram Windows Vista 64bit

Thanks for your help!

settings i dont mention are default
try these settings first, then come back and post your results

general tab
enable dual core
enable idle skipping
hle the ipl
jit recompiler
framelimit off

wii tab
leave default

plugins tab graphics
d3d settings

d3d tab
vsync check
aspect ratio force 16:9
ssa mode leave as none or 4x if you can afford it without loosing fullspeed
resolution you must set as the same
as your native screen resolution

enhancements tab
efb scaled copy
everything else unchecked

advanced tab
enable efb copy to texture
everything else unchecked

sound plugin
default means first 3 options top to bottom checked
audio backend dsound

controls configuration up to yourself

if these settings do not solve your problem, then you should try updating directx drivers, vga drivers etc

It works now! BK shines now (weeeee!!) and all the weapons are shown to be in their proper forms.


There are some minor glitches in the icons though, but this can be 'fixed'/'caused' strangely by loading/saving in savestates. Not really sure how it happens..


...And this issue popping out of nowhere too occasionally (wiimote disconnected) and when reconnecting the pc joystick loses control. But it can be ignored though annoying!

the controller you could try configuring the wiimote plugin with classic controller extension so no more boxes, just make sure to disable gcpad if you do that, if you use a joypad just set gcpad to directinput/keyboard/mouse this way you have only the wii joypad working

just a tip do not use savestates because this game is really long and i dont think you want to glitch in a way that you wont be able to repair it later.

those minor icon glitches i have a better workaround, just alt+enter that will leave fullscreen or enter fullscreen, then alt+enter again to play on your desired mode, and glitch will be gone, but sometimes it will come back then repeat.

if you really do not want those icon glitches try opengl, but its slower maybe you cant afford that, best way for me was opengl rev6000 SSE4.2 the game plays absolutely flawless no glitches in my rig except for part 3 prologue that the game crashed, easily to solve by disable hle sound until the laguz crowd transform, afterwards turn on, absolutely perfect after that.

I'm trying to start the game but I can't make a save file because my memory slot A is corrupt. My settings are exactly as drakex99 suggested to run this game. This seems like a strange error since the mem slot is just a folder. I'm actually not sure what build my dolphin is but I know its one of the very recent ones. If you need to know the build please show me how =D your help is greatly appreciated.

Ive actually managed to fix this by using the dummy memory. Another problem arised with the sound. everything sounds blurry and robotic. I've tried all of the options.

you just messed up, read before go on rampage of choosing options, you clearly choose the option to import a save data from the previous game, but you probably do not have a proper epilogue savegame from path of radiance, or your epilogue path of radiance savegame its corrupted.

incase you still confused, path of radiance its the prequel to radiant dawn.

about your sound problems, if you set framelimit off+ throttle checked on sound options it will be fixed if you have a proper rig for that, otherwise if your fps drops too much the sound will suffer no matter the settings you try to use.
