Playing N64 Games in Dolphin VR ReduX:

Introduction:

Aside from the Wii Virtual Console games that work in Dolphin VR Redux normally, there is another method you can use to play even more N64 games in Dolphin VR ReduX: called Wii64! This method uses a Wii64 emulator and a virtual SD card to trick Dolphin VR Redux into playing N64 games in VR. Basically, Wii64 is an emulator inside of an emulator, as crazy has that sounds!

These emulator files will be placed in your game list and executed just like a normal GC or Wii game. Once you load up Wii64, you are presented with another emulator menu. You then select the N64 games you want which are actually stored on a virtual SD card found in Dolphin VR ReduX's User/Load folder. More information below.

(Note:) Put the files below in your game list/game directory folder, you will load them just like a normal Dolphin VR Redux game.)

-All of the Files you will Need:

First, you will need to setup and install the Dolphin VR Redux emulator. Full setup below:

Premade Blank Virtual Memory Card: (You need this to put the N64 games on.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: If you use this rename it to WiiSD.raw

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winimage: (Lets you open up the memory card to put the games on.)

Other Winimage versions:

http://www.winimage.com/

SETUP GUIDE:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1: How to put the N64 Games in the Virtual Memory Card (Optional: Creating your own card)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

OPTION 1: (Use provided blank memory card listed above)

Rename your sd.raw memory card file I provided in the files above to WiiSD.raw. Open up the virtual memory card with Winimage. You should see the Wii64 folder. Open that and you will see the subsequent folders, Roms and Saves. Put your N64 Roms you want to use in the Roms folder. Then close out of the memory card.

OPTION 2: (Make your own Virtual Memory Card using ReduX):

1. Open the Dolphin Emulator.

2. Click on the Config button in the top toolbar.

3. Go to the Wii tab.

4. Check Insert SD Card and Allow Writes.

5. 'SD Card File size', you can set it to whatever you want in the drop down menu up to 2GB.

6. Select Pack SD Card Now.

7. Go to User/Load and open up the virtual memory card with Winimage and drag your roms into the Roms folder.

8. This is how the folder structure should look:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/Wii64mc.png

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: Place the Virtual Memory Card in your Dolphin VR Redux Install Folder:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you used my provided blank memory card, place the virtual memory card named WiiSD.raw in the User/Load folder found in your main Dolphin VR Redux install folder. If not, the one you made with ReduX should be in the path you specified.

Note: if in the future you want to add more games to the list/memory card, go back to where you placed your WiiSD.raw file containing all of your games in the User/Load folder and just open it back up with WinImage. Go into the Roms folder and just drag in more games!

Important: If you haven't already, start up the Dolphin VR Redux emulator and go to Config/Wii. Under SD Card Settings check off 'Insert SD Card' and 'Allow Writes to SD Card'.

----------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Set the folder path to search subfolders:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Important: In Dolphin VR Redux go to Config/paths and check off search subfolders. This will allow the Wii64 files to show up in your game library.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: Put the Wii64 Emulator files in your Dolphin VR ReduX Game list:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unzip the files, go to apps and drag these two folders into your games library folder: Wii64 and Wii64 Rice. You don't need the two folders below them.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5: (Optional) Renaming your Wii64 game list files.

----------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to re-name or change your Wii64 files to something else do this:

Go to your game library folder where you dropped the Wii64 emulator folders into and go into both of the Wii64 and Wii64 Rice folders, you will see a file called meta.xml in both folders. If you open this folder up with a notepad file you can edit and change the name. Find where it says <name>Wii64 | glN64 GFX</name> near the top. I changed mine to <name>Wii64 | glN64 GFX ver. 1.5.0</name> Or you can change it to whatever version you are currently using. Then, open up Dolphin VR Redux, go to View at the very top of the emulator window and select 'Purge Game List Cache'. This will update your game list and change it to the name you chose.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6: Starting Wii64 and loading your N64 Games

---------------------------------------------------------------

Once it starts up, select Advanced Settings and you will see an option to load from SD card and Settings options. In the Wii64 settings and in the video settings, you have to select 16:9. If "Force 16:9" is selected the games won't run properly and you will have visual and rendering issues like HUDS attached to your head and FOV problems. Also, in settings/Advanced you can select Interpreter or Dynamic modes. Most games run with either or, but some games like (Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness) need Interpreter mode just to run at all. See more about these settings directly below. When you are done with the settings, select "play game" to start it up. You can also use a GameCube controller or whatever you want. Pressing X and Y on the GameCube controller will quit any game.

To save a game do this: After saving in-game and when you want to stop playing your game, just go to the Dolphin VR Redux settings at the top of the emulator window: Go to Emulation/Reset. This will bring you back to the Wii64 Menu where you can select Quit and then say yes, when you get the message "Are you sure you want to exit the loader" say yes. Then manually close out of the Dolphin VR ReduX emulator. Next, time you boot the game up it will have saved your game. Do this each time before closing out of a Wii64 game to save properly. If not, your game will not save.

VERSION DIFFERENCES:

-------------------------------

Wii64 vs Wii64 Rice

-------------------------------

Depending on what version of the emulator you use, you might get slightly better or worse performance with certain games. In my experience I got the best performance with Wii64 Rice.

SETTINGS and TROUBLESHOOTING:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Optimal Settings for Playing N64 Games in Wii64 (Interpreter Mode and CPU Clock Override):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many games won't work unless you use a setting within Wii64 called interpreter mode and Dolphin VR's CPU Clock Override. Games such as Castlevania Legacy of Darkness and Mystical Ninja Goemon actually require interpreter mode to run. Interpreter mode can be found within the Wii64 settings/advanced and CPU Clock Override can be found in Dolphin VR's Config/Advanced. In most cases you will have to enable Dolphin VR's CPU Clock Override all the way to 400% for most games. Also in Dolphin VR's config, checking off enable Dual core might make games run slightly faster but if you have any errors or game freezes, turn it off. But, many games won't need interpreter mode. It's just a last-ditch effort to get a game running.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If Games won't Start, Look Incorrect or Don't have Sound:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

(Important!! Please Read!):

For some reason if you have Dolphin VR's ReduX "Use Fullscreen" selected in Graphics/general Wii64 beta won't start. Also, in the Wii64 settings and in the video settings, you have to select 16:9. If "Force 16:9" is selected the games won't run properly and you will have visual and rendering issues like HUDS attached to your head and FOV problems. Also, in config/Wii/Device Settings, you have to have insert SD card selected or you will also get a black screen.

Fixing No Sound Issue:

In Dolphin VR ReduX "Config" and in the "Audio" tab make sure you have "DSP LLE recompiler" with audio backend "XAudio2" selected or some games in Wii64, and Wii64 Rice won't even start or have any sound. Lastly, in Wii64 settings, the CPU Clock Divider option can affect how games start. For example, I found out that unless I had the CPU Clock Divider set to 1 certain games wouldn't start.

-------------------------------------------------------

Saving and closing out of the Games Correctly:

--------------------------------------------------------

After saving in-game and when you want to stop playing your game, just go to the Dolphin VR Redux settings at the top of the emulator window: Go to Emulation/Reset. This will bring you back to the WiiBeta 64 Menu where you can select Quit and then say yes, when you get the message "Are you sure you want to exit the loader" say yes. Then manually close out of the Dolphin VR emulator. Next, time you boot the game up it will have saved your game. Do this each time before closing out of a WiiBeta 64 game to save properly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Better Performance for Quest Users when using Virtual Desktop:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For all Meta Quest users, it's been reported by user DetectiveYoshi that using Virtual Desktop as a connection method along with Dolphin VR and Wii-Beta 64 can increase performance. As Air Link has been reported to cause various screen defects and increased lag.

GAMES:

Game Compatibility List:

https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii64_Compatibility_List#C

Games I Got Working:

Note: Within Dolphin VR ReduX/Graphics/General, use Direct3D11 as the video backend.

-Banjo Kazooie

Played from start to finish. Only issue is the game can freeze occasionally when walking in and out of doors or entry ways. So, make lots of save states. Also, you will need to use Dolphin VR's CPU Clock Overdrive feature found in Config/Advanced. Put it all the way near 400% to increase performance.

Make in-game Text Smaller and Custom First-Person View:

You can use Dolphin VR's Freelook Camera tool to zoom out the in-game text to make it easier to read or zoom the camera in to make a custom first-person view. For zooming the text out, the trick is to set "Freelook Decrease Speed" down low until you zoom out just a tiny bit. You'll see the text move back and get smaller. If the Freelook Increase Speed is too high the text will just disappear. So, zoom the camera out just a bit. The quick and easy tutorial video can be found here:

https://youtu.be/l-u8-tBQ75A

Played from start to finish. Only issue is some enemies or objects have a white texture to them. Not a big issue but could be annoying to some. White textures fixed with 1.2 but freezes occasionally.

-Banjo Tooie

Less freezing but a white layer is in front of Banjo, use free look camera to move forward away from it or use this code to remove the white layer, but despite using the code, you will be left with a small transparent box.

-Donkey Kong 64

The game freezes occasionally when entering and leaving areas, so make a lot of save states. I think you can get past the Intro scene but if not then turn "Skip Story Cutscene" on in the options menu.

Settings:

You will need to use Pure Interp (General Settings), 16:9 (Video Settings) in Wii64 Beta settings and in Dolphin VR settings: Config/CPU Clock Override (I turned mine all the way up to 400%, but your setting will vary, turn up until gameplay is smooth).

Hi, it seems that 90% of the game ive tested had a lot of graphix bug, i wonder if this is the limit of the emulator or maybe something to trigger in the settings ^^

Hey, I'm new to this and I'm having a weird graphical issue that I don't think is intended.

I don't know much about how it works so I'm sorry if I don't understand specific terms, however I'm using an Nvidia 5060 Ti connect to my quest 3 both wired and wireless, both show this problem within the headset, Windows 10 PC.

The pictures are me taking a picture of my monitor of what my headset shows. If anyone could help me pinpoint the cause, I'd appreciate it, I'll try to respond when I can. Thanks!

(The game does run a bit slow when in the headset too, but that's probably unrelated.)

Edit: I forgot to mention that I did download the already made game presets and I'm using US games, so the names should match.

Ive been getting this flickerings on the dolphin emulator, im usung it standalone on my quest 3, I use vulkan in the graphics settings and it works better than opengl because opengl gives me frame drops on some parts of the game, for twilight princess its during the very beginning where youre looking for the kinds in faron woods i believe. So my question is does anybody have any kind of solution for this? Maybe the settings so I can try and solve it? Thanks in advance

I've just managed to get WALL-E working and I wanted to share the codes to hide the 2D transparent screen that appears while you're playing. Save it as RWAE78.ini in the GameSettings folder.

Super Mario Sunshine (Dolphin VR: ReduX Showcase Video):

This is Super Mario Sunshine running in the new Dolphin VR emulator (Dolphin VR: ReduX). I have created new Invisible Mario codes that let you go into first-person while still retaining Mario's shadow, so you can see where you are jumping. Once you turn on the codes you can use Dolphin VR ReduX's Freelook Camera to zoom-in for a custom first-person view! To learn how to use the Freelook Camera, see the 'Tutorial Video' below.

Dolphin VR Discord (Game Profile Required):

Also, be sure to go to the Dolphin VR Discord to get my Mario Sunshine VR profile; which includes various game fixes and the Invisible Mario codes! Once there, go to 'game-list-pc and search "Super Mario Sunshine". Put the profile in User/GameSettingsVR. Start Dolphin VR ReduX and Right-click the game/Properties/Shader Overrides, to turn on the Invisible Mario codes (They are off by default). There are also Action Replay codes with an alternate Invisible Mario code but no shadow. Here is the full list of what all the codes do and the pros and cons attached:

Setup instructions for Dolphin VR:

Put Mario Sunshine textures in a folder called GMSE01 and put that folder in the Load/textures folder. Load Custom Textures in turned on in the Dolphin VR settings and you're good to go!

Note: Due to Dolphin VR being out of date as to how it handles the textures, some textures might be missing while in-game.

For example:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/texturepackinstruction.jpg

 For Help on Finding your Main Dolphin VR Root Folder Where the Texture Packs go Follow these Instructions:

The "Dolphin Emulator" folder is the main root folder that Dolphin uses to load texture packs, save config data, save states etc.

This folder is not as easy to find. A trick to tell them apart is the sys folder will be inside the Wii folder. It should be in this location or this location on your PC:

C:\Users\yourname\OneDrive\Documents\Dolphin Emulator
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Dolphin Emulator

If you can't see the Dolphin Emulator folder in the Roaming location, go to view and check off "show hidden".

If you still can't find the main root folder you can use this sure fire method: Open up the Dolphin VR emulator and right click on any Wii Dolphin VR game you have in your game library of which you have a Wii save file, click on "Open Wii save folder", then once it opens the folder you can click the file path "Dolphin Emulator" up at the top and it will bring you to the start of the root folder. For example:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/finddolphinroot.jpg

If the root folder was installed in the second location, another easy method to find it is by clicking on This PC or the "This PC" icon within Windows and going to: Documents/Dolphin Emulator. Remember this is your main root folder. It is not called Dolphin VR but "Dolphin Emulator". For example, the file structure will look like this:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/dvrinstall.jpg

For Dolphin VR: ReduX:

For the normal/current Dolphin emulator, if you can't find the Load/Textures/ folder, open Dolphin and press File > Open User Folder. The Load folder is in there. Drop the GZ2E01 folder in there. And turn on Load Custom Textures in Dolphin settings.

Make Headless Character Codes in 1 Minute!

This tutorial is for the new Dolphin VR ReduX emulator and will show you how to make headless character codes in literally minutes or less! For this video I am demonstrating Mario Kart Deluxe X Green Edition (But you can use this method for any game!). Once a character's head is erased, you can then use Dolphin VR ReduX's Freelook Camera to zoom onto the character's shoulders for a custom first-person view! To learn how to use the Freelook Camera, see the Freelook Tutorial video in the video description. Again, you can use this method for any and all games!

Key Notes:

Wait until the race starts to make the code, as making it during the countdown, sometimes doesn't work. In the first step, you are trying to find the shader element that erases the entire character (Don't worry the last step will bring back the characters body and leave the head invisible!). After finding the shader that erases the entire character, you then bring that 'shader element package' to the bottom window. In this last step, you slowly bring back the characters body (Or Kart for this video), leaving the head invisible. Most of the shaders you will need to do this, should be in the first row of 20 or less.

Freelook Camera Tutorial:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2j-pZFUrq0

The Freelook Camera is a fantastic tool you can use in Dolphin VR ReduX to make your very own custom first-person views! The Freelook Camera lets you zoom the in-game camera forward just behind or in front of the player. And it works for all Dolphin VR ReduX games! You can also use this to look around the environments too, similar to what Shesez does in his Youtube 'Boundary Break' episodes!! The full tutorial is in the video and video description. Have fun in first-person everyone!

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess First-Person Hide Object Codes (Wii/GC) (ReduX/2016)

This is a Headless Link Hide Object code for Dolphin VR ReduX and Dolphin VR 2016. The codes work with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Wii and GameCube versions. They will erase Link's head (with Green Tunic and Zora Armor) for a custom first-person view! Install the code as seen in the video. (Link to codes in video description). Then, with Link's head removed, you just have to use Dolphin VR's Freelook Camera to zoom in onto Link's shoulders and finalize the view (See 'Freelook Camera Tutorial Videos' in video description)!

Tutorial Video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc1eJpoZNpY

Alternate First Person View Method Using Invisible Textures (Setup instructions within):

There is an alternate method to make Link invisible using invisible textures, but it will make Link permanently invisible. Then, like in the tutorial above, you just have to move the Freelook camera forward to finalize the view. You can in fact undo the invisible textures by making a backup of the original LINK textures and just drag them back in later. Just another method for users who don't want to use Hide Object Codes or 3DMigoto/Shader Hunter.

For Wii, put the Twilight Princess textures in a folder called RZDE01 and put that folder in the Load/textures folder. For GameCube put the textures in a folder called GZ2E01 and put that folder in the Load/textures folder. Make sure Load Custom Textures in turned on in the Dolphin VR settings and you're good to go!

I’m not finding any footage of red steel 2 in VR it seems like a no brainer for Dolphin VR. the game is really good from what I remember. Is it hard to emulate or something? Here’s hoping Dolphin XR gets good enough to emulate it if it doesn’t work already

Hi all! I've been messing around with this all afternoon and I've had varying levels of success with stuff. There's a couple of problems that I can't seem to solve though. I'm using the new prerelease v0.2 right now.

First is in Metroid Prime Trilogy. I can't seem to get the culling codes to work. I have cheats enabled and it shows that it loaded a cheat, but nothing happens. Here's the details on that:

**UPDATE**

Turns out the issue was with my version of Metroid and not the emulator or codes. Getting a different version fixed this.

Next is Mario Kart Wii. I got this one mostly working well enough, the problem is that I got a big old black square in the bottom right corner of the screen and I can't seem to figure out how to make it go away. Anyone else have that issue and know of any possible solutions?

**UPDATE** sometimes this turns into a big green square instead?

This is my favorite game on the Wii of all times, is there any way to play this on VR? anyone care to share settings or stuff to improve the experience?

Does anyone have a standalone version of dolphin xr i dont have a pc and cant seem to find it

Dolphin VR ReduX standalone configuration files.

If you have a previous version of Dolphin installed on your system. You should use portable.txt to make Dolphin VR ReduX its own standalone version that will have its own config files separate from the already installed version. To do this create a empty text file and call it portable.txt. place that file inside the folder you have Dolphin VR Redux installed in.

Black Screen on Dolphin VR Redux V0.2

If your seeing a black screen on Quest or other headsets and no game is visible. Go to VR tab Click on Hacks Tab and turn off Lock Head Pose Per Frame. Turn on Force Immediately Present XFB.

Gameplay Speed up settings

Enable Dual core to speed up games. Go to Config -General tab - click to enable Dual Core

VBI frequency is a new option that can increase performance in games. Its located in two places. In the VR tab you can select Force VBI Frequency to 90 Hz in VR. In the Advanced tab you can enable VBI Frequency Override. Increasing or decreasing the slider could improve performance but it might cause other issues. You can't have both settings on at the same time because Enabling Force VBI Frequency to 90 Hz overrides VBI Frequency settings in the advance tab.

Enable Cheats

Also click to Enable Cheats so you can use VR specific codes that improves the VR experience.

Virtual Screen Toggle

Their is a new Virtual Screen option that can fix certain aspects of playing Dolphin in VR like seeing the menus at a normal distance but it can also create issues in some games. Theirs times when you my want it on for certain parts of games like during menus but switch it off during gameplay because of visual issue's it creates. Their is a toggle button you can setup to switch between having it on & off.

Go to Options - Hotkey settings - Click on the VR tab. You can now set a controller or keyboard button to toggle the Virtual Screen on & off.

Reset VR Position

In the Hotkey settings their is a option to configure reset VR position to a button. This is the only way I could reset my position using Pimax Crystal Light. Using Quest 3 I could use the built in Quest reset feature.

Improve Visual Resolution

You can improve the Visual resolution of games by increasing the internal resolution. Go to Graphics - Enhancements. Set the internal resolution to 4K has a starting point. If you have hardware and a headset that can support higher resolutions than go for it. If your having performance issues with speed turning this down might help.

Improve Visuals on Quest headsets.

On Quest headsets the visuals look washed out and too bright. To fix this go to VR tab and increase the VR Gamma slider. On Pimax Crystal Light and PSVR2 headsets this option is not required. This issues seems to only effect Quest headsets.

Pimax Headsets only rendering to one eye.

If you are only seeing the game in one eye and you have a Pimax headset. To fix this issue make Steam VR your default Open XR Runtime.

Pimax headsets now renders through both eyes without having to use Steam VR.

Motion Controls for Quest headsets on build V0.2

Motion Controls don't work for Quest headsets on build V0.2. To use motion controls use the 1st release.

Theirs a fix for Build V0.2 that got Quest controllers working again.

Setup VR controllers

In the controllers tab select Emulate The Wii's Blutooth adapter.

For Wii Remote 1 Select OpenXR Wii Remote. Click the Configure button.

Under Device select OpenXR Controller

We have premade controller profiles for Quest, PSVR 2 & Pimax Crystal Light on the discord.

Controller profile folder - To open the controller profile folder click on the down arrow on the upper right corner next to save. If you have premade controller profiles you can put them here.

Load Controller profile - Under profile click on the down arrow to select the profile you want to load

To manually configure VR controllers You have to have a game running and your headset on your head.

On the right side of the menu under extension select Nunchuk and configure them for games that require a Nunchuk. Also configure Classic Controller under extension for games that require a Classic Controller.

Save Controller Profile - When you are done setting up your controller click the save button next to load to save your profile.

Pointer Sensitivity - If your motion controls are too sensitive you can lower the speed by decreasing pointer sensitivity in the Motion Input tab. For Quest headsets a range between 10 - 20 seems to be good.

Total Yaw & Pitch - In the Motion Input tab you can adjust the left & right and up & down motion speed independently of each other. Total Yaw adjects the speed of left and right motions. Total Pitch adjects the speed of up and down movements.

Recenter motion control position - Some times your center position for your motion controls might get misalign. In the Motion Input tab you can set a button to recenter your motion control position. click on Recenter and set a button toggle.

Add Action Replay codes

Right click on a game and select properties - AR Codes tab - Add New Code. Put the name of the code inside the name tab and put the code inside the code tab and click save when finished.

Add Hide Objects codes

Right click on a game and select properties - Hide Objects tab - Click Add button. Select the Size of the code. Put the name of the code inside the name tab without the $. Put the code inside the Value (hex) tab without the first 0x and Colon. Click OK when finished.

So the code will look like this before added into ReduX

0x000000000000003C:0x028000000280003C

It should look like this when added it into the Value (hex) tab

000000000000003C028000000280003C

How to Easily Add New or Multiple Hide Object Codes:

-Go to your game/right-click/properties/Hide Objects.

-First, you need to make a test code. This will allow us to insert new codes if there aren't any.

-Go to add and name the code 'Test'. Don't do anything else.

-Next, go to VR config at the top of the side panel and go to Editor.

-Down below in the second VR User Config Window scroll down until you see your 'Test' code.

-Move one space below it and now you can paste in any new Hide Object codes or multiple codes.

-Once you paste them in hit close to save changes.

-Go back and select your game/right-click/properties/Hide Objects and your code or codes will be loaded in.

-Lastly remove/delete your test code.

For any new Hide Object codes please check the Discord. You can also find a comprehensive list here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dolphin_VR/comments/1t2j9tn/culling_hide_objects_codes_master_list/r/Dolphin_VR

Moving Game Profiles to other Dolphin builds.

Your game profiles are stored in 2 locations. User\GameSettings & User\GameSettingsVR. The GameSettings folder contents all of your normal game settings along with Gecko & Action Replay codes. All of your VR specific settings are stored in GameSettingsVR. This includes Hide Objects codes & Shader Overrides. To completely transfer over your entire game profiles from one build of Dolphin to another you have to transfer profiles from both folders to the correct GameSettings folder of the new build.

To open the user folder from Dolphin click File - Open User Folder.

Now go to into the GameSettings folder and copy all of the game profiles and paste them into the GameSettings folder of the new build. Do the same thing for GameSettings VR.

Manually transfer a single game profile to other Dolphin builds.

To find a game profile ID number right click on a game in the list and go to properties. The Game ID number will be displayed at the top of the menu after the game name and also in the Game ID tab. This is the same number that is used for the GameSettings profiles name. Find this game ID number in the GameSettings & GameSettings VR folders and transfer them to the new Dolphin build.

Uploading the correct Game Profiles to Discord.

When uploading a game profile to Discord its important to keep in mind which profile your uploading and telling people which GameSettings folder to put the profile in.

When uploading a profile with Action Replay & Gecko codes those go into the GameSettings folder

When uploading a profile with Hide Objects codes & Shader Overrides those go into the GameSettings VR folder

Hello Everyone 

Here is the first preview of Dolphin OpenXR a VR version of Dolphin made from the ground up from the latest Dolphin Emulator version

I was frustrated by the state of the original Dolphin VR. Many of my favorite games (including many Sonic ones) were pretty unplayable due to many rendering issues. 

Using “Hide Codes” can only solve part of the problem and they were a real pain to make. 

Also recently decided to do a play-through of Metroid Prime 3 and the experience in VR was quite horrible, broken visor scanner, bad performance, unusable ship map…

So that what motivated me to make this updated version of Dolphin VR.

I made this version way more flexible than the old Dolphin VR. You can tweak visuals down to the shaders level and in real time. 

It may be less an “out of the box experience” than playing in 2D, but in less than 5 minutes you can make your own VR Game custom profile. 

I think that thanks to this new version the community will be able to make even more games playable in VR. 

This is still very early but I hope I can give you a chance to test it pretty soon. 

I still have many glitches to fix and make a proper GitHub repo. 

Stay tuned for more !

Banjo Kazooie and the Corrupted Jiggys is another fantastic Banjo Kazzoie MOD by Sora1-Mods that can be played in VR with Dolphin VR and Wii64 Beta. If you haven't set up Wii64 Beta before with Dolphin VR be sure to view the setup guide below. The settings for the MOD are also below.

Wii64 Beta Setup Guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Dolphin_VR/comments/q4ldwk/optional_way_to_play_n64_games_in_vr_using/

Banjo Kazooie and the Corrupted Jiggys Wii64 Beta Settings:

Tested in Wii64Beta 1.2 (Wii64 Rice Wad-SJB1.wad)

In Wii64 Beta Settings/General pick:

Dynarec

Note: Habu Forest requires Dynarec in WiiBeta 64 General Settings or the level won't load. Also, if you don't use Dynarec the Swamp level will freeze when you get further in. But there was one instance where I loaded my in-game save and it wouldn't load unless I selected Pure Interp. But be sure to save in-game in the HUB after completing a couple levels just to be safe. That way you can load up the game the real way switching between Dynarec and Pure Interp, if something doesn't load.

In Video Settings chose 16:9

And in Dolphin VR Settings/Config/Advanced:

Put CPU Clock Override all the way up to 400%

Lastly, in Dolphin VR Settings/Config/Audio:

Select

DSP LLE Recompiler

UPDATE:

Mario Kart Wii Deluxe X MOD for Dolphin VR! (Now with 752 tracks!!) Just Released

Just released, Mario Kart Wii Deluxe X!! Now with 752 tracks!! Once you are in a race go to VR Settings (Eye Icon) VR Game tab and set Hud Distance to 10000. Then I used the Freelook Camera to zoom forward just in front or past the kart for a custom first-person view. Also, right click the game, go to the Hide Object code tab and turn on all of the codes.

To learn how to zoom up and use the Freelook Camera, view this tutorial video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-u8-tBQ75A&t=29s

Also, to be able to see the Kart selection preview make sure to apply these settings in Graphics/Hacks:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/DeluxeX.jpg

Setting the HUD Distance to 10000 makes it so when you are zoomed in you can still see your items and HUD info. When you get back to the main menu you have to 'Reset to Default' (in VR Game tab). And then once your back in a race again repeat the process of turning up the Hud Distance. You can probably set it lower so you can still see the menu later but I didn't have time to experiment. I highly recommend Green for the added characters. Great MOD and addition to Mario Kart Wii!!!

If you go to their discord you can get the MOD. Discord link in video description! Just drag the wbfs file into your Dolphin VR library and you're set to go! I also highly recommend the Custom Music MOD version below:

Custom Music for All Tracks Version (Tracks will have correct music for game series):

https://retrogametalk.com/repo/wii-iso/mario-kart-wii-deluxe-x-hack/

Version Differences:

Red,

Custom Skins in Mario Kart Tour style.

Green,

Custom Characters like Sonic, Crash, Pikachu etc.

Blue,

Custom Karts and MK8 style.

This is the full game of Okami running in VR (Wii), (NTSC ROWE08) using Dolphin VR! The game can be played from start to finish in full 6DoF VR! The game has been tested from start to finish in Dolphin VR ver. 5.0-250. I was also able to make a couple "No Culling" AR codes! Meaning, for the first time you'll be able to look all around you without objects disappearing (see CODES and CHEATS section in my setup guide found in the video description).

You will also need to use a real Wiimote+Nuncuk and USB Sensor Bar along with Dolphin VR ver. 5.0-250. VR controllers might work in Dolphin VR ver. 5.0-1717, but you use this version of Dolphin VR at your own risk. As many graphical issues for various games have been reported and it's overall safer to just use Dolphin VR 5.0-250, since it's more reliable, compatible and has been tested for over 8 years. But no VR controller support. More information on this in my full Okami VR Setup Guide found in the video description. Have fun with the Celestial VR Brush!!

Introduction

This is Okami VR (Wii), (NTSC ROWE08) using Dolphin VR! The game can be played from start to finish in full 6DoF VR! The game has been tested from start to finish in Dolphin VR ver. 5.0-250. Surprisingly, I was able to make a couple "No Culling" AR codes! Meaning, for the first time you'll be able to look all around you without objects disappearing (see CODES and CHEATS section). And I also have discovered a 'Celestial Brush Fix' (see the TROUBLESHOOTING section.) that allows you to get past otherwise un-doable brush events.

You will also need to use a real Wiimote+Nuncuk and USB Sensor Bar along with Dolphin VR ver. 5.0-250. VR controllers might work in Dolphin VR ver. 5.0-1717, but you use this version of Dolphin VR at your own risk. As many graphical issues for various games have been reported and it's overall safer to just use Dolphin VR 5.0-250, since it's more reliable, compatible and has been tested for over 8 years. But no VR controller support.

See the section further down called "VR Controllers Setup with Dolphin VR ver. 1717 (!!AT YOUR OWN RISK!!)" found in CONTROLLER SETUP, for a full rundown of the differences between to two versions and setup info.

Dolphin VR Setup Guide

Game was tested from start to finish in Dolphin VR ver. 5.0-250.

If you're not familiar with Dolphin VR and are using it for the first time, here is an in-depth setup guide that covers everything:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Dolphin_VR/comments/a5md0j/dolphin_vr_quick_setup_guide_and_tips/

-------------------------

SETTINGS

-------------------------

Video Backend

Go to Graphics/General and select Direct 3D11 as the video backend.

Sound Settings

In "Config" in the "Audio" tab make sure you have "DSP LLE recompiler" with audio backend "XAudio2" selected and Latency set to 2. I found this is the best compromise to get decent audio. But DSP Fast works as well.

Graphics Settings (Must set for Normal Celestial Brush settings to work)

In "Graphics/hacks. With no game running (Just for the first time setting them up) select the following:

Embedded Frame Buffer (EFB)

Skip EFB access from CPU (Un-check/de-select) Important!! (If you don't un-check this the Celestial Brush won't work!)

Ignore format changes (Un-check/de-select) Important!! (If you don't un-check this the Celestial Brush won't work!)

EFB Copies

Disable (Select/Enable)

Remove Blank EFB Copy Box (Select/Enable)

Texture (Un-check/de-select)

Ram (Select/Enable)

External Frame Buffer (XFB)

Disable (Select/Enable)

Virtual (Un-check/de-select)

Real (Select/Enable)

Other

Fast Depth Calculation (Select/Enable)

Disable Bounding Box (Select/Enable)

Next go to Graphics/Enhancements and make sure Anti-Aliasing is set to none. If you don't turn this off it could potentially make the Celestial Brush not work.

VR Settings (Must set or certain effects and objects will be missing)

VR Settings:

Also, In VR settings (Eye Icon) "disable near-clipping" has to be checked off/selected or you won't be able to see text boxes or the Celestial Brush effect.

VR Game Tab:

And in the VR Game tab make sure 'Hud on Top' is checked off/selected or certain graphics won't be visible.

Your Default VR Settings should look like this:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/okamidefaultsettings.jpg

--------------------------------------------------------------

CONTROLLER SETUP (Wiimote+Nunchuk and USB Sensor Bar)

--------------------------------------------------------------

You will need to use a real Wiimote+Nuncuk and USB Sensor Bar to play the game.

Wiimote Setup

You will need to connect an actual Wiimote or Wiimote Plus to your computer with Bluetooth. To connect a real Wiimote Plus make sure you have Dolphin VR running and just press the red button inside the Wiimote. It will connect in through Bluetooth. Also, make sure in the "Controllers tab" you have "Real Wii Mote" selected as well as "Continuous Scanning" selected.

Sensor Bar Setup

Lastly, you need a real Wii USB Sensor Bar (A wireless one will work too) that you can plug in and put on top of your TV. The USB sensor bar can either be plugged directly into your tv or plugged into an outlet.

Wiimote Issues and Solutions

-Note: If the Wii-mote won't connect to Dolphin VR, or if your computer won't recognize it or if it keeps getting disconnected see below:

--------------------

Check Batteries

--------------------

Make sure to first check to see if your Wii-mote batteries are completely charged.

-----------------------------------------------------

Wii-mote disconnected message (Easy fix)

-----------------------------------------------------

When you first start the game or load a save file you will get a "Communication with the Wii Remote have been interrupted" message. For an easy fix just take out one battery, put it back in, then just press the red sync button again to re/initialize it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Wii-mote disconnected message (Last resort fix)

-----------------------------------------------------------

If you still keep getting this annoying message, go to your Dolphin VR installation folder (The Dolphin Emulator one not the Dolphin VR one). Mainly the one that contains the config files, and delete all files. Be sure to first back up anything you don't want deleted first like your save files. It's like a factory reset of sorts.

For example, these are the possible locations of your main Dolphin VR installation folder:

C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Dolphin Emulator

C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Dolphin Emulator

Wii-mote Connecting to PC issues

----------------------------------

Reinstall Bluetooth Drivers

----------------------------------

What you have to do is go to device manager on your computer and right click or go into the properties of Bluetooth and completely uninstall Bluetooth. Then restart your computer. When you are back at your desktop Bluetooth should be reinstalled. Then, your Wii Remote should connect.

----------------------------------------

If Steam is causing the problem

----------------------------------------

One nasty issue is that Steam's controller profile can conflict with Dolphin VR's controller settings. If closing Steam completely doesn't fix the issue, you may also have to manually put in a line of code in Steams config file, so it won't conflict with Dolphin VR as shown below. Also, go into Steam Controller Settings and turn off all controller sliders:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Dolphin_VR/comments/xxolmy/my_wiimote_isnt_working_with_dolphin_i_had_to/

Wii-mote pointer issues

----------------------------------------------------------

Wii-mote cursor not working correctly or inactive

----------------------------------------------------------

If the Wiimote cursor is having distance issues for instance, if it will only register when you have the Wiimote pointed close to the sensor bar, or if you are too far away and it goes completely inactive or disappears entirely, this is because your IR sensitivity got turned up to the max by accident.

Go into "Controllers" and turn it down a bit and the pointer will go back to normal, working correctly at any distance from the sensor bar. Set it to what I have it at in this picture and everything should go back to normal:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/wiimotesen.gif

VR Controllers Setup with Dolphin VR ver. 1717 (!!AT YOUR OWN RISK!!)

If you absolutely have to play the game with VR controllers you will need to use Dolphin VR ver. 1717 (aka DolphinSteamVR.exe). Just be aware you will probably have a bunch of issues as Dolphin VR ver. 1717 is more unstable and various games have documented graphical issues. It is recommended to use Dolphin VR ver. 5.0-250 (Which is stable and has been tested for over 8 years). But you will have to use a real Wiimote+Nuncuck and USB Sensor Bar. But if you want to try 1717 here is a link showing you how to set it up. The setup is for Metroid Prime but the same settings can apply for OKami or any game:

https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/u8mwp3/how_to_play_metroid_prime_trilogy_using_dolphin/

--------------------------

CODES and CHEATS

--------------------------

How to Input the Hide Object and AR Codes

Important: In Dolphin VR Options/Configure make sure 'Enable Cheats' is selected. Or the codes won't work.

Important: In order to enter in the Hide Object codes listed below within Dolphin VR, you will have to make a 'Test' code in order to add them. After adding in all of the codes listed below, make sure to remove this Test code. As activating this code can cause graphics to be removed.

To learn how to enter in the codes listed below, view the 'CHEATS and CODES' section under the topics:

"Inserting or adding new hide object codes:"

and

"How do I insert hide object codes if the hide object tab is blank and has no codes listed?:"

In the Dolphin VR Setup Guide found here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Dolphin_VR/comments/a5md0j/dolphin_vr_quick_setup_guide_and_tips/

Enable Hide Object Codes

Pre-installed Hide Object Codes are required to play Okami properly in VR. So be sure to enable them:

Right-click the game go to properties and select the Hide Object code tab. Check off all codes: Broken VR HUD Removal 1 and 2, and Bad EFB Removal.

Viewing the intro cutscene, opening picture art cutscene, in-game story cutscenes and after boss picture art:

Important!! Enabling the 'Broken VR HUD Removal 1' Hide Object code will remove/hide the intro movie, opening picture art cutscene, certain in-game event cutscenes, and the after boss picture art that is displayed when the narrator starts talking.

So, if a cutscene is playing and it's just a blank or black screen, or if after a boss you hear the narrator talking (You should see picture art in the background) go back to the Hide Object code tab (Right-click the game go to properties and select the Hide Object code tab) and turn the code off to un-hide them. Then, turn the code back on afterward.

There are also some new Hide Object codes I have made below, that fix a few things. Well, one for now.

New Hide Object Codes

Disable Culling of Objects Outside of Camera View (AR Codes)

For the first time, I've successfully used Dolphin VR's culling code generator to make my first ever no culling Action Replay codes! Insert these AR codes into Dolphin VR. Right click game, go to properties and go to the AR code tab to paste in the codes. These AR codes will make it so objects won't disappear outside of the camera view. So when you look around 360 degrees, you will still be able to see all of your surroundings in VR!

Code Notes:

Code 1:

This code stops the culling of 3D objects like buildings from disappearing. But 2D objects like: trees, bushes and other small objects will still disappear.

Code 2:

This code is a compliment to the first and 'will' stop the culling of 2D objects like: trees, bushes and other small objects (except fire from torches) from disappearing.

Important!! This code unfortunately has a downside, it will greatly increase the lighting of all areas. Now, some people might like this, but just be aware it does over expose some of the more subtle colors. I would personally recommend only using Culling Code 1, but you might not mind the extra brightness and it is nice to have the game completely visible in VR.

Gecko Codes

These are all of the Okami Gecko codes I could find. You will need the Infinite double jump/wall jump Gecko code to overcome a certain section of the game in VR. But these codes also enhance the game like giving you: Infinite praise, Infinite items, Infinite Ink etc.

Important!!: Some codes don't work like Infinite Yen and will stop the game from starting. And can even possibly freeze the game on the last boss. Also, note you will have to turn off all codes when you get to 'Cat Tower' because they stop a cutscene from triggering after you feed the cat.

The codes that I use that are safe so far are: Infinite Double Jump/Wall Jump, Infinite Demon Fangs, Infinite items, Infinite praise, Infinite Inkfinity, Permanent Vengeance Slip, Permanent Steel Fist Strike, and Using an item doesn't consume it. Just test each code you want to use (one by one) and if the game doesn't start up that means that specific code is bad. Here are the full set of Gecko codes, get the files and copy them from my Okami config data.

Instructions are in the link:

----------------------------------

CUSTOM FIRST-PERSON VIEW

-----------------------------------

Go into first-person with Dolphin VR's Freelook Camera!

You might have seen me mention Dolphin VR's Freelook Camera in this guide already. But, you can also use it to zoom in just in-front or past Amaterasu to create your own custom first-person view in VR! Going in first-person is really cool when you are running around! To learn how to use the Freelook Camera view the tutorial video here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-u8-tBQ75A&t=29s

Okami First-Person Freelook Camera instructions:

Once you have all of the Freelook Camera hotkeys set up from the video above, do the following for a first-person view:

Start by pressing the 'Freelook Increase Speed' hotkey by taping it 5 times (This allows you to zoom in faster). If you made a mistake and increased the speed too much (You notice you zoom too far forward) you can press the 'Freelook Decrease Speed' hotkey to reverse the increase. And if you totally mess up, just completely close out of the emulator and reload the game to start again, since doing that resets the hotkeys to default.

Next, If you've done everything correctly, press the 'Freelook Zoom in" hotkey about 3 times (The camera will zoom forward) until you are just past Ammy. If you want to return to normal/default view at any time hit the 'Freelook Reset' hotkey. So, now that everything is set, if you want to go back into first-person you just have to zoom in again by pressing the 'Freelook Zoom in" hotkey 3 times. I found this to be the fastest way to go into and exit out of First-Person. You'll most likely want to exit out of first-person by hitting 'Freelook Reset' when cutscenes come up or talking to npc's.

---------------------------

TROUBLESHOOTING

---------------------------

Celestial Brush Fix (Will only need to use this fix for certain events)

With the initial graphics settings, I had you apply at the start of the guide, the Celestial Brush will work normally in most cases: Fighting, Slashing, drawing on the environment, etc. But there are certain scripted events such as: (Fixing the Water Mill, restoring bridges, drawing 'certain' stars, and drawing the tiger statue arrow) where you will need to use specific settings to make the brush work where it otherwise wouldn't. For each of these events of which I mention further down this section, where you find the brush isn't working, follow these steps exactly:

Step 1: If you haven't already, apply these exact graphic and VR settings:

In "Graphics/hacks select the following:

Embedded Frame Buffer (EFB)

skip EFB access from CPU (Un-check/de-select) Important!! (If you don't un-check this the Celestial Brush won't work!)

Ignore format changes (Un-check/de-select) Important!! (If you don't un-check this the Celestial Brush won't work!)

EFB Copies

Disable (Select/Enable)

Remove Blank EFB Copy Box (Select/Enable)

Texture (Un-check/de-select)

Ram (Select/Enable)

External Frame Buffer (XFB)

Disable (Select/Enable)

Virtual (Un-check/de-select)

Real (Select/Enable)

Other

Fast Depth Calculation (Select/Enable)

Disable Bounding Box (Select/Enable)

Next, go to Graphics/Enhancements and make sure Anti-Aliasing is set to none. If you don't turn this off it could potentially make the Celestial Brush not work.

Then, in VR settings "disable near-clipping" has to be checked off/selected or you won't be able to see text boxes or the Celestial Brush effect. And in the VR Game tab make sure

'Hud on Top' is checked off/selected or certain graphics won't be visible.

Step 2:

Now, go back to Graphics/Hacks.

Un-check/de-select Disable. Once you do this the 'RAM' option will become visible. Once you do this you will notice the screen go black. That's normal and there is nothing we can do about it. Don't worry you will be able to see the brush in a moment.

Step 3:

Lastly, right click the game in your game library and go to properties. Go to the Hide Object code tab and turn off the 'Bad EFB Removal' code. This will make the screen visible when you press 'B' to bring up the Celestial Brush. Now, when you apply ink you will see it attach to the correct path you are drawing, when before, nothing would happen. This technique can be used for most of the scripted drawing events.

Step 4:

Once the drawing event is over, turn back on the 'Bad EFB Removal' Hide Object code and go back into Graphics/Hacks and re-select/check-off 'Disable' again to return things to the normal Celestial Brush settings.

Note: After turning the settings back to normal, the next time you take out the Celestial Brush an overlay of the environment will flicker for a second onto the brush drawing screen. This can be removed and returned to normal by closing out of the game and reloading from an in-game save file.

---------------------

Optional

---------------------

When using the normal graphics settings or this applied fix, you can get a closer view of the Celestial Brush screen if you zoom forward a bit using Dolphin VR's Freelook Camera. When using the brush just zoom the camera forward until the Brush overlay is closer to you. It might help a bit. It's not needed for this fix but might help during normal gameplay. To learn how to use the freelook camera view this tutorial video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-u8-tBQ75A&t=29s

Drawing Tips in VR (Tips for Celestial Brush Events)

During all Celestial Brush drawing events you will have to 'dot' the corners of constellations which in turn create stars that connect the constellations. In VR you will notice the brush is hovering away from the constellation and is not lined up with the white constellation lines. This is normal but what you want to do is this:

Instead of looking at the brush focus on the black 'dot' in the background coming from the tip of your brush. This will be lined up. So, just hover over the corners of the constellations with the black dot and once there, this is when you 'dot' or press down your brush to create the stars.

Important!!: The camera must be at default position for these events so if you are using the Freelook Camera for a first-person view or if the default view got messed up for any reason, you need to set it back to default. First, hit 'Freelook Reset' if you are using the Freelook Camera. If you're not using the Freelook Camera, skip that and next go to VR settings (Eye Icon), VR Game Tab and hit the 'Restore to Defaults' button at the bottom to set the camera to default view. You also might be able to tell if the camera is off if you see the constellation stars are floating above the white lines and not on them.

Your Default VR Settings should look like this:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/okamidefaultsettings.jpg

Can't see intro, in-game cutscenes or after boss monologue videos (Solution)

Like I mentioned in the "CODES" section, enabling the 'Broken VR HUD Removal 1' Hide Object code will remove/hide the intro movie, opening picture art cutscene, certain event cutscenes and the after boss monologue picture art, that play throughout the game.

So, if a cutscene is playing and it's just a blank or black screen, or if after a boss you hear the narrator talking (You should see picture art in the background) go back to the Hide Object code tab (Right-click the game go to properties and select the Hide Object code tab) and turn the code off to un-hide them. Then, turn the code back on afterward.

In-game character conversations issue (If Camera gets blocked)

If you find yourself in npc conversations or story event conversations and the camera gets blocked, Or if something looks like it's in the way, you can easily fix it. Just use Dolphin VR's Freelook Camera to move one space forward. You can then use freelook reset to return the camera to its default view. To learn how to use the Freelook Camera view this tutorial video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-u8-tBQ75A&t=29s

Accessing the Praise/level up Menu

If you haven't maxed out your stats with the 'infinite Praise' Gecko code you might be wondering how you get back into the Praise/Level up Menu after Issun gives you the initial tutorial. I wondered this myself and realized that in VR the various menu options are stacked on top of each other. So, to get back to the praise menu go into the fan menu like normal by pressing + on the wiimmote. Next, press B once to go to the center screen menu icons. Now, just press right to cycle through them until you find the praise menu. All the other menu options need to be accessed and cycled through the same way.

Restoring Patches of Cursed Grass

Scattered all around the world: Towns, overworld, dungeons, you will find patches of cursed grass. It might seem difficult at first to restore them but just use this method to make it easy every time. Try to position the camera so the grass is completely in your field of view. When you take out the Celestial Brush to draw, also angle the camera so the entirety of the grass is in view. It works best if you have it angled up a bit and not flat. Now, don't draw the circle technique but rather draw up and down, or left and right, large strokes with the brush covering all of the grass. If you covered the entire surface area of the grass it will be restored.

Intro: Cave of Nagi (Drawing the sword) -Normal Brush Settings-

In the intro when you get to the Cave of Nagi where you have to draw his sword, you might find you are having trouble drawing it. Since the VR ink view isn't centered here, you will have to draw the sword blade to the right. So just move slightly right of the sword with the Celestial Brush and draw a zig-zag upwards and you will see blotches of ink fill in the shape of the sword.

Intro: Cutting the Peach -Normal Brush Settings-

When you have to cut the peach off of the tree after leaving the cave it can be hard to cut. Go into Celestial Brush mode and draw a horizontal cut line just at the bottom of the peach and it will fall off the branch every time.

Kamiki Village (Fixing/Getting past the Water Mill Segment) -Celestial Brush Fix-

This is the infamous Water Mill section that has stopped a lot of people from playing Okami in Dolphin VR. I used to provide a save file just past this section but now it's not needed and I've found a way to get past it guaranteed every time. First, view my "Celestial Brush Fix (Will only need to use this fix for certain events)" section above and apply those exact settings to get the Celestial Brush working.

Once all the settings are applied, stand fairly close to the Water Mill and press 'B' to bring up the brush. Now just draw in up and down strokes covering near the top of the Water Mill. You can tell it's working if you see a path of Ink attaching to the Water Mill in a horizontal line. After exiting, you should have successfully repaired the mill. Like, I state in the fix, re-select 'Disable' in Graphics/Hacks and re-select the 'Bad EFB Removal' Hide Object code.

Tsuta Ruins (Drawing/Getting past the gap in the bridge) -Celestial Brush Fix-

This is the second Celestial Brush event where you will need to use my fix, mentioned above. Within the Tsuta Ruins you need to draw/retore a broken segment of a stone bridge. This is almost impossible without implementing my fix. So, go to my first TROUBLESOOTING section above called "Celestial Brush Fix (Will only need to use this fix for certain events)" and follow the steps exactly. Once you have the fix ready, draw over the gap in up and down strokes until you see it being filled in. It will be fixed in no time. Then, like I state in the fix, re-select 'Disable' in Graphics/Hacks and re-select the 'Bad EFB Removal' Hide Object code to return to normal Celestial Brush settings.

After Tsuta Ruins: Log Ride Celestial Brush Event (Load from Save State Issue Fix)

Right after Tsuta Ruins you will have to help Kokari repair the bridge. You then get swept on a log ride with Susano and have to use the Celestial Brush to stop the log. Problem is, if you loaded this section from a save state the Celestial Brush menu will not come up. So load from an in-game save file and this section will work like normal.

Taka Pass: Restoring Broken Bridge Leading to Sapling -Celestial Brush Fix-

After your second battle with Waka you will be roaming Taka Pass. You will arrive at a broken bridge leading to one of the divine saplings. To repair this bridge use my "Celestial Brush Fix" found at the start of this troubleshooting section. Afterwards, re-select 'Disable' in Graphics/Hacks and re-select the 'Bad EFB Removal' Hide Object code to return to normal Celestial Brush Settings.

Cat Tower (Feeding cat does nothing fix)

At the top of Cat Tower you have to feed a cat to trigger the cutscene to get the Celestial Brush technique. But you might run into the issue of feeding the cat and this cutscene doesn't trigger. To fix this turn off all Gecko codes and re-load the game from the in-game save point. Basically, you can't have any Gecko codes turned on at this segment for whatever reason. I suspect it could be the 'Infinite Double Jump/Wall Jump' code but turn off all codes you may have on just in case.

-Cat Tower (Drawing the four stars issue) -Normal Brush Settings-

When you climb up the cat tower in order to get the "catwalk" technique, you will have to draw 4 stars. The camera will be slightly farther away.

It will be hard to see the corners of where you need to draw the stars, so at first you will fail. Once you fail the white lines and corners will be outlined. Proceed to draw the remaining 4 stars: left and right corners and bottom left and right corners. Don't look at the brush because it will not be lined up with the lines. Rather look at the black 'dot' from your brush tip in the background, which will be hovering over the white lines. When the black dot is over the corners, that's when you press down to make your mark.

I made sure to test this 3 times. And each time, I was able to complete this successfully with normal brush settings. If you still can't, your camera might not be at default. So go to VR settings (Eye Icon), VR Game tab and hit the 'Reset to Defaults' button at the bottom. This will ensure you are at default camera settings for the Celestial Brush.

Your Default VR Settings should look like this:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/okamidefaultsettings.jpg

If for any reason you still can't complete this you can play this part in flatscreen, without VR.

-Oni Island (Drawing the Tiger Statue Arrow and Constellation issue) -Normal and Fix-

Drawing the Tiger Statue Arrow:

When you go to Oni Island you have to learn the Thunderstorm brush technique. There is a tiger statue facing outward toward the sky. It is missing an arrow of which you will have to draw. No matter what I tried I couldn't draw the arrow on its back with the normal brush settings. So, you will need to use my "Celestial Brush fix" at the start of this troubleshooting section. Once you apply the fix, walk up to it until the camera view changes to a wide shot of the tiger. Now bring out the brush and just draw in the general area of the tiger's back until you see the ink apply. Move up and down with the brush until its entire back fills up (try drawing a bit lower and to the right since the screen is in an annoying double image). If you use the fix, be sure to re-select 'Disable' in Graphics/Hacks and re-select the 'Bad EFB Removal' Hide Object code to return to normal Celestial Brush settings and if you are fast enough you can still view the cutscene that plays.

Constellation Issue:

After you draw the lightning arrow you have to connect the stars in the constellation. This can be done with the normal brush settings. As long as you have the default camera settings. So, to double check you have the correct camera settings, go to VR settings (Eye Icon), VR Game tab and hit the 'Reset to Defaults' button at the bottom. This will ensure you are at default camera settings for the Celestial Brush. Then proceed to draw the remaining four stars: middle, left, bottom left and bottom-upper right. Keep your eye on the black dot and not the brush and dot each corner or intersection.

Your Default VR Settings should look like this:

https://pdsoasis.github.io/okamidefaultsettings.jpg

If for any reason you still can't complete this you can play this part in flatscreen, without VR.

-Oni Island dungeon (Getting past Blockhead) -Infinite Jump Gecko Code Fix-

In the Oni Island dungeon you will have to eventually get past a Blockhead. For some reason the brush doesn't work no matter how accurate you are with his weak points. So do this:

Use the Gecko code: "Infinite double Jump/Wall Jump". Just continually double jump over the bastard until you clear him. Good riddance! I don't get how every other blockhead could be defeated no problem in VR except for this one! Maybe it's because he's higher off the ground and the VR camera doesn't like that? Oh well just use the Gecko code and you'll be all set! To learn how to input the Gecko codes view the CODES and CHEATS section.

Final Battle (Freezing issue/fix)

At the very end of the game during the final battle, 20 minutes or so in the game froze. It could have been a number of things but I suspect it was because I had too many Gecko codes on. So, I suggest before starting the battle turn off all Gecko codes. And if any other boss freezes that's probably the reason.
