Description

Hello,

here's the bug report:

  1. Game Name and ID (as it appears in right click > properties: "GZ2P01",
    "RSBE01", etc):
    >> Donkey Kong Country Returns (SF8P01)

2) What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
>> A stable wiimote connection.

3) Did the game ever work correctly (i.e. not have this problem) on an
earlier version of dolphin? Please specify the exact revision when the
problem began.
>> The first (and only) version I used is 3.0-235.

4) What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Start the game
  2. Go into the menu some steps

Mostly within 1 minute a message appears, that informs you about the connection loss to the wiimote.

5) What version of dolphin are you using (32bit/64bit along with the
version as it appears in the title bar, etc)?
On what operating system, drivers, and hardware? Be sure to list OS,
graphics driver information, and video card model if you are having
graphics problems, for example.
Dolphin 3.0-235 x64
Win7 x64
Standard Windows Bluetooth Stack
Core i5 750, 4 GB RAM, Geforce GTX 470
Real Wiimote Plus (Original Nintendo)

6) Please provide any additional information below.
This bug only appears in Donkey Kong Country Returns. All other games work just fine. I also tried another Blzetooth Stack (BlueSoleil), but the bug persists.

I hope you can fix it soon :)

Bye

It's a <<Nano Bluetooth USB Adapter "Version 2.1 + EDR Class2">> from the company Hama. Where can I find vendor id and product id?

You didn't specify if alternate Wiimote timing was enabled or not.

I also disabled it with no effect on the bug :-(

I also have this problem, anything after r7251 does this. enabling LLE audio fixes the problem but that causes slow/stuttering Audio and inconsistent frame intervals, ie still 50FPS by the counter but very jerky.

Have same problem here, my machine works as follows:

Dolphin 3.0-437 x64
Windows 7 x64
Standard Windows Bluetooth Stack
AMD Phenom 2 x64@3,0Ghz, 8GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5770
Real Wiimote Plus (Copy of the original Nintendo)

Hope this info can help you have more clues about what's going on... just like our other friends, every other game works fine with that controllers.

Hi,

I was having the same problem as you guys, but after some research in the forums and looking at the source code I manage to make a build that fix this issue. This is NOT a long term solution, this is just a hack to play DKCR with the real wiimote in the latests Dolphin versions. I guess the developers will address this issue soon enough for future versions, or not :P

So, the easy guide to solve this problem is:

  • If you don't what do you need and how to build the dolphin project go to the wiki.
  • Open the file \dolphin-emu\Source\Core\Core\Src\IPC_HLE\WII_IPC_HLE_Device_usb.cpp
  • And modify this this line: "const u64 each_wiimote_interval = interval / m_WiiMotes.size();" to look like this: const u64 each_wiimote_interval = interval/* / m_WiiMotes.size()*/;

Build the solution and you are ready to go. I have only tested it in single player and the 64 bit version. For more than one player I guess you could play with the interval value and see what happens.

Hi,
I am getting this as well, LLE slows down the frame and gives out of sync audio.
Can you rebuild this and send a copy to me, or post it here if the forum rules allow?
Thanks.
