Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Any news about this?

Nsmb is unplayable here. Delayed sync and disconnects or stop responding every few minutes.

Other games are fine.

With any back-end?

Same as before. With vsync off and vulkan works fine here. Or almost fine. Wont do more test until we have some theory about vsync and this problem. With another backend also worked when vsync off, but dont remember which one.

Will keep using vsync on and vulkan and avoid this game until a real fix is found. Vsync off is terrible on dolphin.

If anyone still cares about this problem, unchecking fullscreen on graphics setting, also make this Work even letting vsync on. But you have to play on windowed mode. Once you change to fullscreen, wiimote goes so bad out of sync that wiimote speaker sound is lost.

If you start game at fullscreen, vsync on, bug Will be present. Only with some graphics backend. Bug is not present on nvidia and vulkan. And on amd and OpenGL. Nvidia and OpenGL, bug. AMD and vulkan, bug.

Its not a nand problem, is a Dolphin or bt drivers problem.

Or it could be a hardware problem.

Hi. Yes, it could be. But its just one game (two with skyword). Tried on two pc. 2 different wii bt module.

If any dev could tell me what to test, i Will try to help. Otherwise is way beyond my knowledge.

Today borrowed another wii bt module from a friend. And it's the same.
. Any dev could help to make some logs or anything helpful?

Maybe usbdk add something to the registry that is causing this?

Let me quote myself from another BT Passthrough thread:

That's still the case nowadays. An timing issue surely exists but it probably won't be fixed until it can be consistently reproduced...

Hi. Thanks. I think is not easy to replicate. But I can reproduce the problem everytime just changing fullscreen to windowed or just checking/unchecking vsync.

Cant reproduce the problem on my intel gpu build. Only on my nvidia and amd gpu ones.

I helped with many dolphin issues that nobody believe it. Remember the crackling sound after 90 minutes of use? That was a complex one. Most users told it was some kind of throtling. Well, the bug was real and even a bounty was set to find the fix.

Remember devs recording dolphin audio for hours to hear the weird issue.

So, not every issue could be replicated by a dev, sometimes they have to believe the user and try to work together.

In this case looks like there is no other way, so I ll just leave it as is until other users or devs could replicate the issue.

Any dev can send me a pm anytime if they want more info, video, etc.

Today also tested a generic bt dongle, installed passthrough drivers and same problem. Wont sync until that screen, disconnects, loss of speaker sound. As always, just playing on windowed or unchecking vsync fix the issues that are present ONLY in this game. I finished many wii games since my first post on this thread without a single problem.

Thanks for the advice.

Just my two cents here.  It's not really about believing the user (almost surely, no one thinks you're lying) but, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to debug/fix something if the person debugging can't replicate the problem.

1. You will generally have no idea where in the codebase to look.
2. Even if you could narrow down where to look, you will have no way of knowing if you fixed anything if you can't replicate to problem in the first place.
