Posted by 6 months ago. Just downloaded it but it didnt work in dolphin. It says its an 'invalid GCM/ISO file'. I've been looking for a Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Galaxy 2 rom (specifically an ISO file) for Dolphin emulator. I tried using the one that was on the megathread but it wasn't an ISO and so i couldn't use it in Dolphin.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a platforming video game developed by Nintendo for the Wii. It was first announced at E3 2009, and is the sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. It was released in North America on May 23, 2010. The game's levels are galaxies filled with minor planets and worlds. While its gameplay is based on that of its predecessor, the game was updated with gravity effects and new power-ups. It is the fourth original 3D platformer in the Mario series, after Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Emulation Information

Language Region Mismatch

Super Mario Galaxy 2 might not start unless the Wii language setting is set to a value matching the region of the game. With Dolphin 5.0-10866 or newer, the language setting will automatically match the region of the game, and there is a new setting (Options > Configuration > General > Allow Mismatched Region Settings) used for optionally disabling this behavior. On older versions of Dolphin (or if Mismatched Region Settings is turned on), you may need to change the Wii language setting manually (Options > Configuration > Wii > System Language) and choose a compatible language by region:

  • Japanese for NTSC-J (SB4J01, SB4W01)
  • English, Spanish, or French for NTSC-U (SB4E01)
  • English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, or Dutch for PAL (SB4P01)
  • Korean for NTSC-K (SB4K01)

Wii Remote Lag When Collecting Starbits

The Wii Remote slows down when collecting starbits. To remedy this, go to Dolphin Controller Configuration Window and disable (untick) Enable Speaker Data and this will mute the Wii Remote speaker, fixing the starbit slowdown problem. Seems like it might have something to do with the computer's Bluetooth dongle not granting enough bandwidth for the Wii Remote to receive the sounds and transmit controls at the same time. It's a problem bound to PC hardware and driver, you can also try Bluetooth Passthrough.

Problems

Boss Roars

Boss roar effects are not visible. See issue 8327.

Yoshi Not Eating Items In Direct3D 12 Mode

In D3D12 the red circle around edible items sometimes doesn't appear. Using a savestate and restarting the emulation fixes it temporarily. Fixed by the removal of the D3D12 backend in 5.0-3774.

Enhancements

HD Texture Pack

Bloom

Bloom effects do not render correctly with Internal Resolution (IR) > 1. Disable Scale EFB Copy to fix this.

Higher IR Effects Fog

Using IR > 1x causes fog to be rendered at inappropriate depths. Native internal resolution must be used to avoid this. This can be seen on the save select screen, the ship post the first level, and other areas. Refer issue 9712. Fixed by 5.0-5745, see the Oct 2017 Progress Report for details.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

Though CPU speed varies between 60% and 100%(In the most levels its 90%-100%, but in some the speed is about 60%-70% which leads to lagging). At GrandStar-Levels it just worked with DSP-LLE plugin and not with DSP-HLE and XAudio2 back-end. But with DSP-LLE the music lags extremely, that's why I play it with the DSP-HLE plugin unless I'm at GrandStar level.RnBandCrunk

Finished the game using OpenGL backend with IRx2.5 16xAF and FXAA. No hangs at all. Only a minor graphic bug: the screen goes a bit darker in some scenes when a Boss get's pissed off and expels smoke through his nose or just get furious, but it gets back to normal right after. Here is a video showing the game running with the new HLE plugin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_3i9j7jiPoCole Roddy
