Wii works in linux. Not sure what you're talking about? Download some wii homebrew
(like Mahjong), it runs.

I'll have to retest but I tried and so did sonic.

It works for me on linux.
If it still doesn't work can you paste an error message?
Or at least describe what happens with a bit more details:)

Commercial Wii games still do not run at all. Homebrew Wii games run, but the Wiimote
Plugin doesn't get any of it's functions called besides Initialize and Shutdown. So
My Wiimote usage trying out isn't working very well since I don't get anything.

I'm sorry but this bug is way too general.

Updated by ChaosCode about 16 years ago

Its not to general and I can not test as current build do not load plugins correctly
for me. if you tested this nakeee then close it. if you havnt I would kindly ask you
not to mess with my issue reports.

If you can give a more detailed report about what's going on, that'd be great.

I have confirmed this a LONG time ago. Commercial Wii games just stop with the title
at Loading and Wii DOL files crash Dolphin. ELF files run fine, but the Wiimote
plugin STILL does NOTHING.

I can't figure out what is wrong, Someone more experienced in this will have to look
at it

yep, I don't think anyone is going to fix this.
maybe at some point in the future it will get fixed while someone will fix something
else.
Or maybe if we wish really hard one of the people who wrote the code will bother
looking at it....

Try GDBing the crash with the DOL files and paste all of the threads' backtraces here. k?

We are talking about non homebrew games.
Non of them work in any non windows platform.
It get disoriented when it needs to connect to the wiimote, until then the logs
are almost identical. (between windows and Linux).
Simply put dolphin is a wii emulator only on windows.

Just wanted to note that while wii homebrew boots, it currently does not connect to a
wiimote, emulated or real.

Actions #20

Updated by ChaosCode over 15 years ago

was this issue not addressed and fixed in the recent svn commits?

Actions #21

Updated by nakeee over 15 years ago

Partly, real wiimote still doesnt connect correctly

Actions #22

Updated by marcus over 15 years ago

Mark something critical and then forget about it...how hard would it be to port the
emulated wiimote to linux?

Why doesn't someone just do it?

Actions #23

It's not that,
It's about real wiimote not connecting

Actions #24

Updated by marcus over 15 years ago

So it works with emulated wiimote?

Actions #25

Updated by nakeee over 15 years ago

Yes, but the plugin doesn't work with X11 buttons yet

Actions #26

Updated by marcus over 15 years ago

x11?

Actions #27

Updated by eyeonus over 15 years ago

x11 is the thing that makes graphics on a Linux box. It's the backend to whatever
window manager the user is using, unless, of course, he's using X11 AS the WM.

ok. I know a bit of linux stuff, but not that much (learn something new every day!).

On build 2954 on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit I get this error:
DL: Error loading DLL Plugins/libPlugin_Wiimote.so: Plugins/libPlugin_Wiimote.so:
undefined symbol: _ZN11WiiMoteReal10g_ShutdownE

Thus the plugin cannot be loaded.

Google it, and if there are no fixes there, then file a new issue.

Updated by ebisumari almost 15 years ago

So this still means as of the latest revision that dolphin in linux can't run any wii
commercial games? That is truly sad. :-(

Actions #45

Updated by nakeee almost 15 years ago

ebi, usually when something is marked as fixed it means it works.
Unless something doesn't work for you and then you should open an issue about it.

Actions #46

Updated by ebisumari almost 15 years ago

Oh hi nakeee and thanks for responding. I noticed that quite a lot of other issues
had the same "fixed" status and have scoured the web and found no one blog or comment
that says "yes, I have wii emulation working in Linux". It doesn't work for me but I
will upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 and see if I get any different results! Thanks for
answering, Nakeee!
