Re: Dolphin is not working for Windows 10

I tried system restore among many other potential fixes. It's not my PC's fault, it's Dolphin. There's something wrong with the program itself now, because this older version that I found in the page that I linked works without white screening, as does version 5.0. I'm just going to stick with the ...

Re: Dolphin is not working for Windows 10

Calm down and just consider doing a clean install on a Virtual machine, no need to format your whole PC, Virtual Box is free, among many others. ;) Is there a possibility that, in the worst case scenario, the slight CPU/GPU workload is giving a false sense that the problem somehow persists? At thes...

Re: Widescreen NTSC-U Metroid Prime 1 and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes

28357F60 00000004 04130A58 901F0000 There are some differences between AR and Wiird. In this case, after the address activated by the joker, you need to use the terminator "E2000002 80008000". This line will be quite common. If not, joker will work for any address below. Does not matter w...

Re: Widescreen NTSC-U Metroid Prime 1 and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes

Just so you guys know, you have to use GCNcrypt and then ARtoWiiRD converter. The code generated from GCNcrypt is the decrypted AR code and may not work properly. It needs to be converted to WiiRD form. Heres the link to it: https://wii.brewology.com/downloads/download.php?id=2373 When you use it, ...

I think this one may be better than GCNcrypt. https://gamehacking.org/system/ngc I'm still coming across codes that are failing with GCNcrypt and Dolphin.

Re: Widescreen NTSC-U Metroid Prime 1 and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes

I converted a code with GCNcrypt earlier, it came out with 3 lines. The top line I found out was causing the game to not start. When I inputted the original AR style code into Dolphin, it generated the same code but with the top line omitted. So I just put in the code without the top line and the g...

Re: Widescreen NTSC-U Metroid Prime 1 and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes

Is GCNcrypt a good converter for changing AR codes to Gecko codes? I've been using it since I started using code. I never needed to search for others. Just one detail: The generated codes are RAW. But there are tools that convert AR to Wiird. Perhaps, you may have needed another tool and questioned...

Re: Widescreen NTSC-U Metroid Prime 1 and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes

I've said a few times that some AR codes just didn't work in Swiss. It is a limitation that of years.

You can try starting Swiss in Dolphin in debugger mode to try to understand the situation. That's how I solved some problems.

But you need to really want it because the chance of success is minimal.

Re: Anyone excited for the MemCard Pro GC?

Maybe things were different when you got your clone card in 2008.. whereas I got mine in 2020, which was when I got my GameCube. It is certainly believable that quality of such clone cards have dropped. That is certainly true for PS1 and PS2 memory cards. I relied on clone cards in my childhood (th...
