Emulator

Have you tried this fix: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=3262#c8

Let us know if it works.

The Super Smash Bros Brawl and Wii Sports ISOs I tried are known good dumps, just so you know =P They work fine under Windows 7 on Dolphin

Also one thing I haven't tried on Windows is the OpenGL plugin. Unfortunately I wiped my Windows 7 partition on this thing (again >_>) so I can't test that either. Sorry, I'll get it installed as soon as I can and try it

I seem to be having the same problem as in issue 3456... seems like he is not getting much help with this bug either. Contrary to wespipes69's comment, this is most definitely a bug and has nothing to do with our setups.

EDIT: Sorry for these comments ^_^ Always forgetting information

Specs:-
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 5200+ running at 2.7GHZ
GPUs: dual 8500GT in SLI
RAM: 4GB DDR2-800

GameCube games always have run great with this, and it runs Wii games fine on Windows but not Linux =/

This doesn't happen for me on a 64-bit linux installation. Can you do a gdb backtrace or give any information as to where exactly in the code this happens?

Okay, made some progress with a Debug build and gdb to actually get something useful out of this.

This is a quick gdb excerpt from trying to run Wii Sports in Dolphin, when it shows some problems:

Thanks for your help so far guys

This happened with running Wii Sports under the interpreter:

Issue 3456 has been merged into this issue.

Confirmed by me. Wii ware and gamecube games work but wii games won't work. It seems dolphin is incompatible with newer versions of libX11 and the only way to fix it is downgrading X and that could break the whole OS.

wingnux: Are you on a 32 bit or 64 bit linux installation?

can you please define old and new versions of X?
glen how come we don't use libxcb?

Glen: I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 32bit.

Forgot to mention, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit as well, but also happens on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32-bit

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit

I am not sure that this is an issue on 32 bit linux. I am not sure that this has anything to do with the version of X11.

nakeee: I actually messed around with libxcb in dolphin once, but didn't really see the benifit of using it. libX11 uses libxcb in the background these days anyway.

Maybe it has something to do with the ISO disc reading code in 32bit linux? That is the only difference I can think of between 64bit and 32bit Linux, GC/WiiWare vs Wii games - the disc capacity of the optical disc on the Wii.

I think skidau is correct about this issue.

And I think this is the same cause for issue 3343:

http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=3343&q=metroid%20other%20m

I also tried Donkey Kong Country Returns and I had to copy files from Dolphin on Windows to have banners etc. and get past a crash early on the title screen.

And this terminal output is consistent here (ArchLinux 64-bit - Dolphin r6464) for the two mentioned Wii games (DKCR - Metroid Other M):

gpantalos: I get those WII_IPC_DVD log messages for any wii game on 64 bit linux, but there are no segmentation faults and the games work fine.

Last night, me, skidau, shuffle2, glennrics and booto made some progress into this issue, and decided that 64-bit file support (large file support) isn't actually being allowed with the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 define in the Linux 32-bit build, as it should be. Obviously, this would result with 32-bit reads reaching the "end of file" (0xffffffff) way too early (at 2GB or so), preventing almost anything Wii game related from working, including running the games and trying to compress a Wii file into a GCZ.

booto patched up some fseek64 and ftell64 stubs for me to try in FileBlob.cpp (since defining _FILE_OFFSET_BITS didn't work, and changing the fseek and ftell to fseeko64 and ftello64 didn't work either), and then things started getting healthier, with the GCZ compression process running (but producing a broken GCZ). Games still don't work though. All this may be because EVERY fseek and ftell is broken like this in ALL of Dolphin, and they all need to be fixed up (it has been proposed to just change them to lseek or whatever, too tired last night to read a lot). The affected files are:

Glad to see we made some process.

gpantalos: I have tested further and I see that those same log messages are displayed in linux, so those have nothing to do with this issue.

When i tried to compress 4.4Gb iso in windows build with wine and then run it in linux build - it worked if resulting gcz size is below 2Gb.

I just tried this also. Compressed two Wii games and they worked fine on my Ubuntu 10.04 32bit, when they wouldn't work at all before.

Confirmed here! Compressed "Tatsunoko vs Capcom" on Dolphin Win32 via wine (compressing via dolphin linux crashes the emu) and the iso file went from 4.4gb to 1.4gb and then it worked fine on linux.
Tried compressing "Kirby's Epic Yarn" but it went from 4.4gb to 3.2gb and it still crashed on linux.

r6510 fixes the crashes with GCZ compression

Jajaja in linux? linux is more for work not for play games use windows to play games.

If you don't have anything useful to say, please don't troll.

It's good to see this issue fixed =)

Thanks guys, very appreciative of all your work - especially when the fix was implemented so fast! Everything works great now.
