Dolphin 4.0-7465 now supports launching .elf/dol from netplay

[Helios747]

Hi! So over a year ago this bug was posted to our bug tracker asking for netplay support for .elf and .dol files: https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=6985

Well, since that bug tracker is now defunct I couldn't let the issue creator (one of the project m devs?) know that I've fixed this and it's now in revision 4.0-7465. Unfortunately this addition will not be in the 5.0 release but now I think you guys can launch and update project M without respinning a brawl ISO every time?

Anyways, if you have any bugs with this please let us know on the forums until we get our new bug tracker up.

Looks like I've got some testing to do =)

So does this mean we wouldn't need a "Netplay build" ISO for if we wanted to play PM?

Have fun! Unfortunately I didn't have a copy of brawl on me to test this but other homebrew worked just fine in my tests.

@ KingJigglypuff That is correct I think? I don't know how you guys set up project M in dolphin but I think thats correct. If you need to launch a dol/elf to start it, then you no longer have to remake the ISO. I think you just need to make sure that Brawl is the default ISO, I think.

People use the netplay build, which is a package that takes brawl and builds a project m iso from it.

I think you can just download a project m build, have the folder added into dolphin so it detects your dol/elf launcher, set brawl to be the default iso, and launch the dol/elf in dolphin from the gamelist or the netplay list.

An update, https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/2922 I also implemented SD card write blocking to make PM easier to manage in netplay.
