Super Mario Galaxy | Inconsistent pull stars/sling pods *SOLVED?*

[SteffoST]

I'm having problems getting the pull stars and sling pods to work consistently, this isn't a problem in most cases as i can take my time and spam click the pull stars in the observatories and it will eventually work, and sling pod levels don't have time limits so I can take my time.



However I've now come to a complete standstill on the 2nd star in ghostly galaxy as it is the race and i can't even make it to the race without falling to my death trying to reach the first launch star.



The pull stars in the previous levels were much more consistent and at least allowed me to use them 90% of the time, but the 2nd ghostly galaxy level and all of the observatories are like 20% of the time at best, with the race itself being pretty much impossible due to this issue.



The hand appears and shows that I should be being dragged to the pull star like in the example here https://i.imgur.com/YDjwJl8.png but nothing happens

FIXED, using a different version of dolphin fixed it for me, was on dolphin 5.0, now on dolphin 5.0-5578
I also now collect star bits much more smoothly aswell, can enjoy game now

Just for further reference, make sure "Skip CPU EFB Access" on Graphics Settings is disabled, as it prevents you from pulling stars / use Yoshi's tongue on Super Mario Galaxy 1/2...
