It is. It was included as of 3.5-1154 for Wii games. You'd better use one of the latest builds for this game

i guess it will depend on computer specs and luck...

personally i finished the game last week clocking at 125h 99.9% done... every quests in the game... all friendship maxed.. most skills maxed (using sp and ap X2 codes)... was awesome...

using 3.5-1725 for the last 10 hours... only crashed/froze once... other that that it was perfect... most of the time 30fps.. some rare times would drop to 20-22... but after changing some settings it was not noticeable at all (except with the circle timing thing)... as for "custom" settings, in graphic, i was DX9 (cause i needed load custom texture broken with DX11), in the hacks page, checked openMP texture decoder and fast depth calculations... thoses two settings seemed to remove stutter and replace with a fluid slowdown... frame limit in config was set to "audio"-- audio menu was HLE with Dsound... and finally in the right click property of xenoblade, the only one with a check was enable block merging... all other had a square (default settings)... i heard that the VBEAM could help out... but i did not use it...

Good luck and have fun! This game is definitely worth it!

I would also like to extend my thanks to the many creators of dolphin... as well as thoses taking the time for the awesome HD texture packs for this game! I completely agree with you that this is one of the most impressive JRPG out there and definitely one to remember! and X might now be the motivation to get a wii-u when it comes out!

As for the superbosses goes, i was wondering if you abused save states as much as i do when you had troubles... for example, when i start a link chain, i use my first 3 attacks, then quicksave (left thumbstick), use the 3rd attack, get a perfect circle 4th combo, if i miss, i'll quickload (right thumbstick), when i get it i save again, and can keep a X5Max chain going for 10-12 attacks... going from 5x red skills, then using a monado or middle (white) skill to change color, then doing max chain for a while switching color as much as i can... doing upward of 600,000k damage in a single combo... -- SO, were you doing that and still had trouble? or were you a bit more legit than I am? hehe...

Sorry for the late reply. Didn't actually make use of save states because I heard they were unstable. Absolutely abuse them usually but only with annoying mini games and the such (Kingdom hearts 2 Final Mix!!).

That's a cool way to use them, never actually exceeded 250,000 I don't think. Always wanted to give a combo like Riki, Fiora and Reyn a go to see what was possible. I only found out near the end that Monado abilities and Fiora's special drones were like wildcards.

The superbosses were ok for the most part though. Like I say, Ancient Daedala was the worst simply because he could roll out special attacks one after another but, with Reyn taking all the damage and Sharla/Shulk providing healing and Monado support, all was good. Was a bit underwhelmed by Blizzard Belzagas - he was so slow! Monado Armour completely neutralised any threat he provided.

Hello, I'm new here, found a thread about this game so i'll try here.

Today I tried for first time to use Dolphin and check how good the game is. First what I have found was Dolphin 3.5-367 from 'official site'. Well, game froze on second cutscene. Looked over the web and found this site. Got r1790 and tried again. Froze after cutscenes, during first fight.
Next I have tried various different settings (skipping cutscenes i have watched). Got myself first fight, cutscenes, then... froze again. Tried r1795 - froze after i killed a 'rabbit' (yay, managed to level up xD), tried r1725 with settings from firehawkx above... still, this time froze when picking up second chest.

Guys, I need some help, for the love for jRPG

BTW, PAL version, clean, not patched. 25 fps all the time, just random freezes

That's weird, most of the freezing in this game should have been taken care of some time ago (around 3.5-10XX, whenever the FIFO-BP branch was merged).

Can you post screenshots of your settings? I've been running this game on my end for quite a while without ever having to worry about a freeze on the latest revisions.

Edit: I even (for checking purpose) downloaded a NTFS iso and tried on newest build. Still froze during 2nd fight, checked on 3.5-1798. Guess it is not image issue

You aren't supposed to mention this on the forum. Be ready for the sentence

[Shonumi]

Downloading games is against the forum rules. Dump the game from your original disc. Not only will this not get you banned in the future, but dumping the game correctly usually avoids these issues.

[nelti]

sorry for mentioning that. I have that dump from friend. Checked another one to see whether it's dump issue or something with my pc/settings. In both cases I have ended up with freeze.
I'll be very grateful for any tips

I'm not sure that your suppose to bypass your ban >.>
