Emulator

Have you tried using single core? This sounds like a timing issue doing something naughty.

I always use single core.

<3

But seriously, I'm not entirely sure how to look into this. If I can confirm it, I'll accept it, but there's a chance it'll sit here for a good while until someone turns up to work on LLE audio.

<3 lol

I think it is always better to notify you guys about an issue then never at all :P

Absolutely. Rather have a bunch of valid issues sitting here for people to look through than nothing at all.

Not to worry, I think I might have found a couple more :P but I like to try a lot of things out to get the whole picture before reporting them.

Is this an issue when using the official Nintendo DSP ROM?

I only using the one shipped with dolphin but, but if stick the game disc in my Wii and keep restarting I can't get it to play that sound.

If you have access to your Wii, can you use a homebrew to rip the Nintendo DSP files off and try those? Should be fairly painless to do nowadays.

Will do when I have the time, want me to test it on the ripped DSP too?

That's the idea. If the Nintendo DSPs have the same problem, it means the bug is internal to Dolphin.

Okay, I'm able to reproduce this issue with both Dolphin's ROM and the official ROM.

Interestingly, when using DSP-LLE with the CPU Cached Interpreter I haven't yet heard any of the alternate startup sounds.

Definitely some kind of timing issue then...

It could be an internal issue because why would 2 of 3 sounds become the same odd sound? I would think a DSP issue would just make the correct sound sound distorted but also interestingly enough I have seen people talking about how a scratched disc might make this issue happen on a console but I don't really want to volunteer my disc to test that :P

Also I have seen some builds of Dolphin refuse to play anything other then just the Pikmin! sound.
Also even the newer builds of dolphin seemingly likes to only play the Pikmin! sound and rarely the other 2, but on my Wii tests it is more commonly played for me. So maybe it is an RNG issue? I have also seen something like this in Pikmin 2 but not with sound where the Press Start text rarely goes Right to Left but loves to go Left to Right.

I will go test the CPU Cached Interpreter too.

Not being able to edit it annoying lol. the Pikmin 2 text loves Right to Left but not Left to Right I got my directions mixed up :P
