Skyward Sword Nunchuk Accelerometer/Gyroscope issue

11-19-2011, 08:30 AM #1

Hi guys.

Currently playing through Skyward sword and I've come to realise that the Nunchuk accelerometer/gyroscope won't work at all during the course of play. All of the buttons work and the nunchuk is definitely connected and detected, but it just won't do any of the motion-based functions such as rolling, shield parries and spin attacks. Obviously, this is going to make the game very hard to play. Any ideas?

Other games work in Dolphin just fine (I tried Super Mario Galaxy and the nunchuk works there), and I also tried the nunchuk on a real Wii and it works fine there too. Here's the deets:

Core i7 2600K
8GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 8 Developer Preview
NVidia Palit GTX 560 Ti 2GB

Dolphin r7718M
Skyward Sword (E) 1.0
Golden Wii Motion Plus w/ Nunchuk

So, any ideas guys?

same problem here! I can't do spin attacks at all > Sad

edit:
nevermind I got it. you have to SWING the wiimote and while you do that shake the nunchuk quickly and you'll do the spin attack!

Still not working for me and still doesn't explain the rest, such as shield use etc

(Can't seem to edit? my posts?)

Just tried it on Dolphin 3.0-191-dirty and the same issues occur, for the record.

For my the Nunchuk works for everything besides pulling out my shield. I can run and shake the nunchuk to roll just fine. I can use it just fine. But when it comes to bringing out the shield no avail. I shake the hell out of it and nothing.

Ok I can't seem to figure out how to edit my posts. But this was complete user error. There seems to be no message to tell you to HOLD the minus button to bring up everything in your bag. From there I had to equip my shield.

Just leaving this here just in case there are any dumbasses like myself. Angel

Haha, well, the Russian method prevailed this time!

Using a few expletives and banging the nunchuk on my table has fully enabled all of my gyroscopic features! Haha!

Well I'm getting problems in killing the eye. I'll rotate the remote way too hard, but the eyes won't get killed.

First of all, this is an ANCIENT thread. Why post here? How did you even FIND this?

Secondly... let me guess, emulated motion plus?

Ok... almost 10 years later, and apparently this issue is still an issue! I am trying to be able to roll in Skyward sword using the nunchuck, and it appears the gyroscope/accelerometer does not work in the nunchuck.
