Description

Hi, I noticed that from many revision, about from 5600, I will test soon, a lot of wiiware games stopped working, while before I can play them not perfectly but at least I can go ingame.

From last revisions, wiiware games like lost winter, lost winter 2, bit trip runner, sam & max, and many other doesn't work and crash with black screen without any error!! In svn 5000 about I can play them! Tried with last svn 6080, in windows 7 x64 and x86, with all graphics plugin, jit and jitil!

you sure Sam & Max worked before? I think all the Telltale Games haven't worked yet...also Bit.Trip.Runner...that ones seems to have a problem creating a save game...if one is there already it starts ok.

Mm... I didn't remember, so well, bit trip runner I tried only in latest revision and sam & max doesn't work, but I remember that I played lost wins 1 & 2 without problems, but now they didn't work, however the issue is that a lot of wii ware games doesn't work!! Now that you make me think yes, sam & max never worked!

The forum says a saved game for bit trip runner on the nand is needed for it to start up in Dolphin.

I tried to play the three Mystery Dungeon games, but only the Light version ran (Stormy and Blazing got nothing but a black screen). Is the emulator still incompatible with them?

I thinked about it...try installing the wiimenù and, after that, right click on wiiware game and select "install to wiimenù".
I will check it tonight and let you know if it works (probably the nand save game's created when you install the game in a real wii...maybe this method will works...i will tell you)

Hey folks, I kinda "found out" something handy here. Beware of "region free" and "patched" games, it's very possible that they won't work.

Wow, so if I found PAL games they should work?
However, I only have system menu 4, I can't install any wiiware games or channel in system menu!:(

I guess you don't need to install them. I just play the WiiWare games normally. DLC must be installed, though.
If you aren't sure about whether it's the game itself or just DLC, check its size. DLC rarely gets bigger than 1 MB, and the games are around 15-30 MB.
I use NTSC-J games here, and the emulator runs them quite well. So, I think PAL games will work at least in the same pattern, if not better.

Many WiiWare games indeed have trouble running on Dolphin, here are some to name but a few:

-Brain Challenge
-Driift Mania
-Jungle Speed
-Maboshi: The Tree Shape Arcade

All of these crash / wont run / get error messages. Many games suffer from slowdowns / weird slow music (~30fps) like TV show king 1 / 2.

-sam & max
-lost wind 1 & 2
