Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi,

since there's no USB microphone emulation yet (can I use a real USB microphone?) there are currently two type of singing games:

A) games that will only look for USB microphones and thus not work
B) games that look for USB microphones and GC microphones

I think two examples for B are "The Voice of Germany" and "Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals Sing and Dance". Both get to the point where they hang (when having a song selected and directly in after the first few intro slides).

The log then tells me:

This happens when I use DSP LLE Recompiler. Dolphin even crashes (way before the upper hang would happen) when using the DSP HLE emulator. The exceptioninfo.txt if not of much help:

Quote:Unhandled Exception
Code: 0xC0000005
Call stack info:
Dolphin!0x01310950 : ?

But when I change from DSound to XAudio2 (still with HLE emulator) I get back to the usual hang and the above posted log entries.

Can anyone shed some light on the issue?

Interesting. I haven't come across this sorta error or check before. So the Illegal firmware message does not appear if you unplug the GC mic?

I have not plugged any Wii hardware nor did I change anything HW related during the tests.

I am getting the exact same issue being described here trying to load Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals in Dolphin:

I am actually trying to run this game on Dolphin because the UK disc that I have for the game doesn't work on my modded NTSC Wii.

And just like as is the case with Dolphin, on a physical NTSC modded Wii, the game locks up after a few slides at the main title screen.

Up until now, on the rare occasion where my UK game discs for other games would not work on my modded NTSC Wii, they've always worked using Dolphin.

I have no devices or accessories hooked up, and just for grins I even disabled all of the recording devices in Windows (mic, line in, etc.), and also disabled the audio output in Dolphin.
