Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

For whatever reason, I can download all of my VC games, except for Super Mario 64, which throws error 204036 each time I try to download it (it's legally bought from the shop channel, and it works on real hardware). My only guess is there's some hidden file in the NAND that's conflicting with this particular title.

I run into a similar problem when trying to install any of the additional Wii Channels (Internet Channel, etc.), except this time, error 205540 is thrown, and I can't find a single shred of information about this one online. My only guess is that, since my NAND is based off a vWii, and vWii doesn't support these channels to begin with, that I can't get them on dolphin, even though it's being treated like a standard Wii NAND? Or perhaps more hidden file shenanigans...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

vWii has a lot of differences from a Standard Wii NAND, it very certainly could block you from downloading channels.

In that regard, it's reasonable for it to stop me from getting things like the Internet Channel and other things not supposed to appear on vWii.

Still not terribly sure about Super Mario 64 though, since I have 10+ other VC games that behaved normally.

Not sure why Super Mario 64 wouldn't install... At which point does it fail? After it starts to download the game? Could you post Dolphin logs (with IOS_ES logs enabled and the log level set to Info)?

I haven't heard about error 205540 either. You may be able to find out what it means by enabling network traffic dumping in Dolphin and looking at the server response. Most of the time, shop servers return a human readable explanation for the error code.

For both channels and SM64, the error is thrown just before the little Mario animation for download progress fades in.

This is what the logs say when I boot directly to the shop channel via dolphin and try to download the Internet Channel (done here twice), but now 202011 appears.

Hmm, it looks like your NAND has a title with the same ID as the Internet Channel... Did you launch/install an unofficial Internet Channel WAD? That could mess up the shop. Try to completely remove it by deleting /title/00010001/48414445. Super Mario 64 could be a similar issue.

You may also want to run a NAND check (Tools > Check NAND) to avoid common issues.

Check NAND did not report any issues. I had that folder deleted and tried again. I got a different error code this time (204036):

Does /sys/cert.sys exist? If so, what is the file size? I think I see where the problem is...

File size is 2,560 bytes (or 4,096 on disk).

Could you post that file? Maybe the issue is that it contains vWii cert data...

Also, if you delete both /ticket/00000001/0000000f.tik and /title/00000001/0000000f/ and then perform a system update, does that fix the issue? (Removing these files forces Dolphin to update cert.sys and insert Wii certificate data.)
