[Wii] SMG2 - How to pass the Grand Star stages

[slaywho]

Sure - my settings are - Enable Dual Core, Enable Idle Skipping, Enable Cheats, HLE the IPL enabled, Framelimit Off - Watchdog 60, JIT Recompiler enabled, Optimize Quanitzers enabled, DSP on thread enabled, use panic handlers. For graphics plugin i'm using OpenGL: 2x, fullscreen, 1440x900, Auto-scale enabled, Copy EFB to GL texture (hack). You may have to check Disable Fog - but that can be applied without restart. --- With these settings on r4696 build I'm using now I get a solid 55~60 FPS. Couple of places it slows to 30 FPS - like the Mario ship in World 3, but otherwise works well. Hope that helps.

Can you post your setting because beside the ability to pass through grand star, there is nothing better for me with this revision.
5461 is way faster for me somehow but i need to know your settings tho.

I use my mouse to point at whatever I want Yoshi to eat and right click or press the B button and he'll grab it. The B button may not have worked in some revisions, but highlighting an object with the mouse and right clicking it works for me. (Tongue works using the B button when targeting in r4696).

I played the first Grand Star stage 10 or so times playing around with the settings trying to get through. I ended up passing through after I set the volume to 1%, and passed through to the next universe. However, after the big purple guy shows me the new galaxy's, he flys back to the faceship and the game crashes. The game hasn't saved yet, so if I reload it, I am still in the first universe. I am not sure why its freezing when he goes back to the faceship. Any ideas? The attached picture is exactly where it freezes
