Worth buying Sports Resort for Dolphin? - dougie175 - 03-16-2010

Is it worth buying sports resort to run on wii, its quite a big decision as it will cost me £60 which is like $100 to translate to dollars. Its £40-£50 for the game and I will require a second motion plus addon for my girlfriend.

The reason I ask is because we love play wii sports golf, until the new mario came out its all we did play.

However theres only so many hundred times you can go round the same 9 holes.

I believe sports resort has updated golf and holes and such, is this true?

However we would be playing it on dolphin 99% of the time so it need to work well with dolphin.

Is it worth the purchase, other than the golf is there anything else in sports resort that should tempt me?

I know it seems a stupid amount of money to spend for golf, but we love wii golf, tried tiger woods and such, but she hated it, loves how simple wiigolf is but brings hours and hours of entertainment.

Yes, the golf is updated and there's a bunch of other sports as well (even frisbee golf). Despite what anyone might say, it runs flawless. It shouldn't have random crashing on newest revisions either. Check the settings I used for the game. Screens+fps included. http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/thread-7812-post-73849.html#pid73849

Swordplay, water cruising, plane flying, aerial battle, skydiving, bicycling, archery, basketball, table tennis, are just some new content to name a few. It's definitely an improved version of the standard Wii sports.

Do note, that indeed, if you want to play this game with your gf or anyone else, all players need Motion+ connected (be it on dophin or real wii). Literally all games and mini-games in resort need it connected. It is also not possible to currently emulate it, you need the actual physical accessory.

I just cant belive that im that stupid.I have tried almost every build but on every one game crashes after 5 min.Ocean which build did you use with that config?I wanna give it another try.

Thanks Ocean, well Ive taken the plunge and going to have a go, every other wii game I have plays perfect now so think ive got as gooder chance as anyone my system will run it ok.

Cost me £50 for the game and a second official motionplus so click the 2 motion plus addons to my official wii controller and should be all set to go.

Really hope the golf is good and worth this extra cost, and that it doesnt crash after 5 minutes! If it does Ill just have to sell it.

That's RC1 from dolphin-emu.com. I played it with 2 other friends, with total of 3 wiimotes, and it didn't crash even once during roughly 3 hours of playing various sports.

Yes it has crashed on me, but then again, so has every other game I ever played, at least once. Even twilight princess crashed about twice during the entire storyline. So compared to playtime, the crash rate was like 0.001%.
