How to play vanilla Project M on dolphin?

[Applebutter61]

Recently I got into making custom content for project M with Brawlbox. I am customizing PM, because that is all I know how to run on the wii. I don't know how to run custom brawl on the wii. If anyone has any help for me on that, that would be cool. But that is not what I came to ask. I came to ask, well, it's in the title.

Here is what I have so far: a homebrew pm file, dolphin, and a brawl ISO. I have looked up some tutorials and guides, and they are all extremely complicated and most of the time are for netplay. I don't want that. I just want to know the simplest way to run vanilla project m on dolphin so I can test my custom content on the computer. Any help appreciated.

1. You can build an PM iso, and then edit it with WiiScrubber.
2. You can use the PMNetplayV4.elf in normal Dolphin with your own PM sd card and it will load your PM.

Neither of these help me.

If you get the netplay version setup - thats your starting point.

Dolphin runs using a SD.raw file which is a virtual SD card - you can replace the netplay one with the vanilla (and then your custom) sd changes.

So steps:

Get netplay dolphin downloaded and setup (easiest to go this way because its all in a pack already)

Step 2:
Take your vanilla (or custom SD card files) and turn them into an SD.raw file

Step 3:
Swap out the SD.raw in the dolphin folder for your new one.


should be good to go.
