Broken Sword?

Napper · March 22nd, 2009

Has anyone tried Broken Sword The Directors Cut using Dolphin yet. I have tried to boot the .iso but it just stays with a black screen and continues to load- without finishing. Is it just unsupported or have I made a mistake in config somehow.

The new Build of dolphin (2745) finally runs this game!!!!

But I have only music in the menu screen, in the game there is no sound at all(voices,music,sound effetcs etc)? Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Its still great to see progress with these new builds!!!

Any tips on how you were able to get this far with it? 2791 just gives me a blank screen.

You will have to perform the "error #002" hack but its very easy. Just follow the instructions in this link
http://www.dolphin-emu.com/forum/viewthr...ead_id=824

the two main problems i have encountered are
1) There is no music/voices in cutscenes (i have only seen the intro so far). However the main gameplay has sound effects, music, voices etc

2)I have a problem that the cursor wont go past a certain area to the left and right of the screen . This is a pretty major problem cause its vital in point and click adventures. Hopefully someone in this forum will be able to help!

Im very impressed how smooth the game runs and how compatible it is so far.

Thanks for that I got it working, same issues as you though. It's as though the further left or right you move the cursor (i.e. emulated wiimote), the mouse/cursor seems to be moving faster than the actual wii cursor. So by the time you've moved the windows cursor to the edge of the window the actual wii cursor is still several centimeters out.

Still very impressed with how well it works, would be great to have a fix for this and the audio in custscenes issue sooner rather than later!

Do you know if it's possible to control the cursor via the keyboard/gamepad?

I had that thought at the start as well. I couldn't find how to do it through dolphin's setting so i tried to use a program Xpadder to map the mouse to a controller but that didnt help. There's bound to be a way through the settings, to control the cursor by the keboard though. Then the problem would be avoided. As you say the mouse is too quick for the cursor - there both out of sync.

Yeah this really stumped me. I figured there would be equivalent settings to emulate there being no wiimote but only a control pad plugged in. No luck yet though.

edit:

While we're talking, are you a Broken Sword fan?

Napper · April 3rd, 2009

Ya Broken Sword has been one of my favourite franchises. I have all the games on PC so it was so strange when i saw that the directors cut was coming out for wii/ds. If only Charles Cecil knew how much us PC players want the game!

hi guys

i had the same problem with the cursor but i got it working

you need to adjust the ir pointer settings in the wii remote plugin
here is a pic of my settings

its not perfect but it works

you should also disable the mouse cursor because its not completely in sync with the wii cursor and its a bit distracting

now we just need a fix for the cutscenes

at least you can play them with thpplay bit of a workaround i guess

Napper · April 5th, 2009

Are you using a real wiimote? I inputed those settings you sent. And the cursor still wont go past a certain border to the left and right of the screen. Basiculy i can't click on the inventory items on the corners of the screen still.

HoloByte · April 5th, 2009

nope i use a normal mouse strange its not working for you maybe this has something to do with the monitor resolution? because of the width and height settings? im still using 1280x1024 on my old crt

Napper · April 5th, 2009

Thanks for the tip. I just fiddled around with the left and width scale until i got the cursor area to cover the whole screen. Cheers!!!!!

z0mbi3 · April 5th, 2009

Thanks for working that one Holobyte, I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Have we had any further joy with the audio during cutscenes yet?
