super mario galaxy 2 and wii remote issues - ghoslytimez - 05-18-2022
ok so I have two problems
the first one: super mario galaxy 2 doesn't work on 5.0-16101.
it used to work before a recent windows 10 update. stopped working about 4 or so months ago. now when I open it, it freezes. dolphin crashes and I can't do anything. now super mario galaxy and super mario sunshine work PERFECTLY on this version (i use this version for my SMS speed runs as this is the only version they use for submitted runs). the Wii remote automatically is read on this version as well. i ahve tried other versions of 5.0 and smg2 will not load ON ANY 5.0 VERSION however on any 4.0 version it will load.
now second problem (you're gonna notice its interchangeable with the first one): Wii remote doesn't work on 4.0.2
the reason I have this version is because super mario galaxy 2 works PERFECTLY on this version. however, I cannot use my real wii remote on this version.
I have a dolphin Wii sensor bar. I have tried a lot of tricks to get it to work. I have tried both of my Wii remotes (both are legit real ones) and both work on 5.0-16101 but not on the 4.0.2. i have tried redownloading smg2 and converting it to different files it doesn't work on 5.0-16101 but it will come up on 4.0.2. if I use an emulated Wii remote I can play it on 4.0.2 but if I change it to a real wii remote it disconnects. I have the bar on mode 4 I have it set to the bottom on the senor bar and in settings. I have tried turning Bluetooth off on my computer. I'm running out of options
so if someone can help me figure out why both of these issues are happening that would be great. I need this to work as I use smg2 for practice codes to practice my runs. hopefully this is enough information if you need any other information let me know

Have you verified the game using the verify tab in the properties menu? And you can maybe try deleting the cache folder in documents/dolphin emulator. Although I'm not exactly sure what will help if I don't know the problem.
As for the dolphinbar, that was broken in 3.5-1363 and fixed in 4.0-2241 according to https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2014/08/23/dolphinbar-review/. So 4.0.2 shouldn't work.

You mention you re-downloaded smg2? I hoping you you mean ripping since piracy is against the rules. That aside you could try a clean install with a portable.txt file created at dolphin.exe folder. Maybe there are setting from the older build that are causing problems. Since dolphin usually save setting in the documents folder unless that file is detected.

I dunno how this slipped past our radar, but downloading game is against the forum rules. Rip/dump an original disc for the best results, then verify MD5 hashes (or use Dolphin's integrity check for Wii games).
Closed.
