Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Open Wii Sports Resort or other game that uses WM+ acessory.
    2.Play the game for about 5~10 minutes
    3.The game freeze.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I am playing Wii Sports Resort on r4717 using a unofficial SYSCONF file...
And I can play several hours without any problem. The old official SYSCONF
hangs the game on the startup. Later revisions (r4720+) uses a official
SYSCONF that makes the game playable, but with randon freezes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
r4717 with unofficial SYSCONF file > Game works fine, no freeze.
r4717 with official SYSCONF > game hangs at startup.

for the last 100 revisions until r4821 its only work with the official
SYSCONF, the game start and you can go ingame... but you get random freezes.

Please provide any additional information below.

have you tried any other game with Motion+ support? Because Tiger Woods 2010 doesn't
seem to freeze...it might be a sports resort exclusive issue shrug...I'm not happy
about it, too, though, cuz it's one of my mostly played games ^^

It also happens in Wii Music, and it doesn't support Motion+.

I also tested several times in Sports Resort with real Motion+ and it freezes. Wii
sports doesn't freeze.

I think that the central point is the SYSCONF file... in the r4773 a entry called
MPLS.MOVIE (bool)that says the console has shown the WM+ safety video was add. This
change make the game playable but... that was the ONLY difference in the unofficial
SYSCONF and the official one? Coz the unofficial one makes the playable without any
freeze...

Unofficial SYSCONF.

Try it with r4717 x64 > OGL >
ENABLE EFB COPY>TEXTURE
DISABLE SAFE TEXTURE CAChe

The game works like a charm... beside minor graphical errors, theres no freezes,
even after several hours of gameplay.

I did everything you said and it froze 2 times at the beginning at the parachute
(wiisports resort)
I just wonder if this is the folder where I should put the unofficial Sysconf
"Dolphin x64 r4717\User\Wii\shared2\sys"
Wii music I played 5x longer than before, and it froze
thanks anyway

This Sysconf.sys don't fix the Wii Sports Resort freezes.
The game hang randomly with FPS=0 and VPS=working, music/sound still play but the
screen is freezed.
I don't think it's a problem of the WM+..

Found in later revision >4876 the normal Dolphin.exe seems to work good.
DolphinIL.exe hang after some minutes.

"It also happens in Wii Music, and it doesn't support Motion+."
Doesn't sound like it's related to Motion Plus then...

There were already cases that wiimote keeps desync just besause their disc dump needs
patch/redump.

I can confirm that Wii Sports Resort tends to freeze. It started doing this ABOUT the
time Motion+ support was added in the SYSCONF, but that doesn't necessarily mean the
SYSCONF is the issue. especially because other games that use the M+ don't freeze on me.

The problem is you should not connect emulated nunchuck while playing games that use
M+, otherwise it will probably freeze.

Actions #13

Updated by marcel.werner3 almost 15 years ago

I have a REAL Wiimote/M+/nunchuk, so that can't be the issue.

Actions #14

Updated by fernandocarvalho155 almost 15 years ago

I have a Wiimote/M+/nunchuk too...
I can play WSR whithout any hang or freezes on r4717.
What about if I upload a RAR to 4shared with my folder including saves, miis and
configurations.
So, someone can see what change caused the freeze.

Is ir Ok with the project rules?

Actions #15

Updated by ayuanx almost 15 years ago

I think uploading the SYSCONF is enough

I tested in the recent revision r4988 and now my wii sports resort doesn't crash anymore.
