Project M 3.6 Online via Dolphin Netplay Setup + Optimization Guide

[browndunce]

It means that you don't have the correct brawl iso. It may be a scrubbed (incomplete) iso, corrupt, or the wrong revision. It will cause you to desync on Netplay since your iso differs from the norm most likely.

I restarted the process, and I got it to match. Something with the preparation of the ISO went wrong that one instance, my ISO is fine. Thanks, though!

So, how do I set Dolphin up for the first time? All I get is an error window saying that Windows doesn't know how to open the file.

What are you trying to open? The dolphin program? You have to extract the zip first. You don't run the game by double clicking the iso either. You open it in dolphin.

You mean the dolphin(version number blah).7Zip?

use this: http://www.7-zip.org/


problem solving 101:
When you have a file extension you dont know. google it.
When you're asking for help, be more descriptive.

 

[Strider755]

Thanks. I"ll try it.

I was thinking of building a machine dedicated to PM.

But I was thinking of using an old to-be-gutted Gamecube Shell for the case and using a single-board computer for its innards.
I don't have a clue about understanding computer specs but this is provided in the product page:

Do you think It'll run at 4players 60fps at 720p? Also what do you think if it'll fit on at least 2x Anti-Aliasing?

No that build has no chance at running dolphin. That processor (the most important thing for dolphin) is absolute crap. It uses integrated graphics too which sucks. Do you have a budget? I could help you design a build. You should build your own ITX build. Building your own pc is always better than buying pre-built garbage. However I don't think you could fit a decent pc inside a gamecube shell. I do think you could design a gamecube theme though. You could embed a 4 port adapter into the case to make it look similar to a gc with a square shaped ITX case.

 

[Narpas_sword]

I really want to see if this would play pm, and also fit in a gcn.

That would be perfectly adequate for Dolphin but I doubt it would fit in a gc.

Thanks for the insight.
I see, the pico-form factor was my main focus since I really wanted it to fit the GC.
I've been trying to look for a similar ITX case but some of them come in too big of a size.

 

[nicolasyama]

When I click ''Launch Game'' on the Gecko it says: ''No SD Codes Found'' and opens the normal Super Smash Bros Brawl. What can I do to fix that?
Thanks.

Edit: Never mind already fixed.

 

[PowerHungryFool]

For some reason, there is no "Host Netplay Game" when I right click P:M

Thank you. Don't know why I was dumb enough to not figure it out -_-

You aren't using 4.0-652.

 

[Journal]

So this may be a dumb question, but how do I actually get the .py builder to run?

You need Python.

Hi again Y-L, i have a question for you : what do you think of the 6554 version of Dolphin ? On smashladder it is written that we should "throw 652 in the garbage", do you know anything about it?

Yeah, you should use the new one, it's better in every way.

 

[kodo]

i was able to download the iso and it works and runs all completely fine but when i try to add it into dolphin, it recognizes the .iso as super smash brothers brawl, even though when it's launched it plays project: m, so when i try to do a netplay game it doesn't work since it says that i don't have project: m put into dolphin and we both need a copy of the game, i tried to delete the iso and redo it and then this time i got it to recognize it as project: m community, but it said it was only some 836 mb large and when i tried to launch it it said "Can't read from DVD_Plugin - DVD Interface: Fatal Error.", i tried to delete it and retry a bunch of other times and it just kept on recognizing it as ssbb again, also i'm using a mac

 

[MegaMissingno]

I can't get 6554 to install on Linux Mint 17. The official package provided is missing a dependency:

Dependency is not satisfiable: libavcodec56 (>= 6:11~beta1)|libavcodec-extra-56 (>= 6:11.2)

Tried to see if I could fetch this elsewhere only to get stuck in a deeper dependency hell. Also tried just getting ffmpeg after hearing this is supposed to be in that, didn't help. Then tried to build it from source, only for it to complain about GCC 4.8 (even though I do have a 4.9 package installed). What now?

Try messaging Doppler12 on smashladder, he's pretty knowledgeable about linux stuff.

 

[Nomzr]

Wait, the build you suggested doesn't follow the tutorial? Wasn't it 652 that used to be there?

Yeah but recently we've been able to move to the new builds.

 

[Nomzr]

So how does one get it working through this build then?

It's exactly the same thing. The only difference is if you want to play melee you have to turn off memory cards. Instead of right clicking a game to host, you have to go to tools->start netplay.

So I have noticed a issue with Dolphin on my end, when I am using the mayflash adapter and C-Sticking it doesn't always seem to register the flick or input from C-stick. Is there a way to fix this?

Turn radius to 100.

Radius is at 100 and the issue is persisting

So I'm trying to use my Gamecube adapter on Dolphin, but when I boot up Project M, it won't recognize my button inputs and the "Direct Connect" option under the Controller tab on Dolphin gets blanked out. Help?

It's supposed to be grayed out while the game is running. Do you have two instances or dolphin open? That will make it not work.

Anybody know what I can do to fix this? Or know which part might be corrupted? Ive tried two different brawl ISO's and cant get it to check correctly

 

[KennysGameplays]

I don't know why this is happening but for some reason it wont let me download Project M.
Please help.

this has been linked around on Smashladder by E2xD; downloading it myself atm

 

[Hamman88]

assuming offline 3.6b ISO builder will be available tomorrow

 

[Y-L]

Should be good to go now.

 

[Juken]

I think Samus and Roy's SFX might be messed up. Roy doesn't say anything, and Samus' up-b doesn't make noise when used. Any electric sounds are loud and linger for too long as well.

This could be because I loaded the game through Gecko, however, so it would need to be tested on an ISO.
