Naruto 2 Questions and what we already know

Naruto 2!!! Questions and Tutorial (Plz Help)

Hey guys! :bouncy:
I first like to thank all the great autors and members that made this forum what it is today. :evil:

I'm hoping to make a tutorial on how to make certain games work and I was hoping certain veterans and members of the emu can help with these 3 in specific. Thse are all ripped games and I'm in no rush to actually play them on my PC, since I already have on my GC. But I would want to try it on my comp nontheless and make a tutorial that will help others with any of the problems the emu gives in regards to these 3 games.

Any help is much appreciated for this. If anyone can use some of the other question to explain this one I think i will better understand.




Note: These questions are specifically for Strange, the member, because he seems to have figured it out, but any help is much appreciated. I have checked previous posts but didn't understand much so that's why I made this post.

Thanks again

P.S. I will give credit to those that help when I'm done with the tutorial and if the save states work (I don't think they do yet) :huh: I would appreciate a save state the leads to the menu screen.

[sriram]

yeah...I'd like to know those answers too..Naruto 2 in one of my fav GC games...and I sulery like to play it at hi-res withh AA and all on my PC...someone plz help :robot:

 

[BlackJaguar]

It's funny, someone actually posts something that is detailed and useful and no one helps, but when someone posts a stupid thread about something idiotic everyone jumps to reply. I'm not criticising anyone, but can't anyone provide some help?

 

[mateyo]

its maybe cause most of the things you can awnser yourself by just trying it out.
start the game and try diffrent settings you described, and see if its
a) runs
b) runs faster
c) whatever

i didnt try naruto 2 yet to shrink an run it, but just by logic i can awnser some ...
Question: How big is the final file?
afaik it ads garbage again to the gcm what was once before ripped out. so it should be 1.4 gb.
Question: So we use interpreter?
yes
Question: What is the best pad setting for the game?
you must see for yourself what fits best.
Question: For graphics plugin configuration what do we do?
i would let it as it is. if you enable antialiasing it will run slower afaik. cause it needs more gfx power.
Which shader version is the most compatible?
which is compatible with your gfx card if your card can handle shader 2.0 use it. it shouldnt matter.

maybe i am wrong in some things but it thats just what my logic tells me...
if someone knows better he can post here.
enjoy and i hope it helped a little

greets

 

[BlackJaguar]

Thx mateyo the info is much appreciated. I would appreciate any other help because a lot of question went unanswered. I really didn't know that the final file should be that big 1.4gig. Also it's a bit off but my naruto 2 I ripped is about 65 mb. After shriking and messing around with it that's the amount I got. I tried the GCM shrinking once before when my ripped naruto 2 ranged about 600-700 mb and I kept getting an error. So maybe someone can help me out with that. Anyway any info is much appreciated and thx once again mateyo.

Regards,

BlackJaguar

 

[mateyo]

you are right

you are right that with shrinking may be wrong... mixed up... :O
if you shrink something something shoudl be smaller... as i said didnt tried it yet. mixed up with the problem of gcms smaller then 1,4 gig when u boot it with mod on gc... but nevermind that... so 65 mb might be right... dunno wont try... dont have the space to make copies of my files and shrink them... ;(

 

[BlackJaguar]

Still, I haven't really recieved any useful info, besides for some of the stuff mateyo told me. Apprently no one can provide it. Stange where are you, I need your help?

Naruto 2 Question and What we know
-----------------------------------
Question: How big is the final file?
633.8MB

What we do know: You can rename the movie folder to movieBA
Question: Is this the wise thing to do?

No, you don't need to rename anything.

What we do know: Do not use Dynaric when playing it
Question: So we use interpreter?

You can use Dynarec, games will run faster but even with Dynarec or Interpreter sometimes(should say always) a black screen appears in the middle of a fight.

What we do know: There is a part we have to press up once and then enter or press down 3 times and thenw enter.

X, arrow up, X.

Question: Which one works best?

For my config, dynarec works best (11~14fps when fighting, 60+ everywhere else).

Question: Do we leave ignore unemulated opcodes enabled/checked?

This is check by default so i don't change and games works well.

Question: Do we enable emulate syscal?

No.

Question: Do we use the frambuffer?

No or game will crash.

Question: What is the best pad setting for the game?

Default :smurf:

Question: For graphics plugin configuration what do we do?

Don't need to do anything.

Directed3D
----------

In antilising mode do we leave it no antilising or actually choose an option?

Don't need to select AntiAliasing in a cell shading game, you won't see any difference.

Whats the best resolution for the game?

The one most suitted for you.

Which shader version is the most compatible?

2.0

For devide type do we use HAL or REF

HAL.

Enhancements
------------

Should we force bi/trillenear?

Don't need.


Advanced
--------

Should we use 0 Interpret or 1 compile list?

As for he settings do we use wireframe or check any of the othe options?

No, don't need this.

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


Naruto 1
--------

The game plays till the Sakura scene what do we do after and what are the best settings it's palyed at?

The game runs well for me, i don't see what the "Sakura scene" is, maybe.


Naruto 3
--------

Any help is much appreciated for this. If anyone can use some of the other question to explain this one I think i will better understand.

Naruto 3 runs better than others Naruto. :evil:

 

[BlackJaguar]

Thank you greatly for all the information about Naruto 2. This is all great information and I will soon use all this information, create a word document file, and release a tutorial on how to make Naruto 2 nasd games to work and what settings work best. For Naruto 1 the scene I mean is the one where inner sakura is punching some squares. I don't know, but do you also shrink Naruto 1 or 3 before playing, or do you just use the one you ripped. Thx again

Regards,

BlackJaguar

This thread has so far been the most friendly and detailed one related to any of the Naruto Gekito Ninja Taisen games for GameCube. Almost every other one has an immediate response of "OMFG N00B GO USE SEARCH!!!l!11!`" Searching for "Naruto 3" brings up 5 pages of threads, and I have been looking through them for quite some time now, but I am still unable to find a solution or suggestion on getting a Naruto 3 .gcm file to run with Dolphin 1.02.

Before someone jumps at me for mentioning ROMs/GCMs/ISOs, I'm not asking anyone where to get one as I already found (after searching through countless sites in a variety of foreign languages) a Naruto 3 torrent. And again, before I get jumped at for saying I know where to find it: 1) I own a real, physical and completely legitimate copy of Naruto 3 for GameCube; 2) Please don't ask me for the torrent link/GCM file, I no longer have that link in my history, and it's against forum rules.

Now, back to the whole "Searching for a solution". Admins/Moderators, if you would kindly delete all of the threads in which help was requested, and the response was "GO SEARCH FOR IT", it would greatly decrease the number of search results when following that suggestion, and would make finding a REAL solution (which seems to be buried somewhere in this forum) a real possibility.

Lastly, if anyone would like to point out a (or the) thread where there is a workable solution for getting Naruto 3 for GameCube to work, or if anyone would like to troubleshoot my problem, I would greatly appreciate any help you could provide. If someone is going to tell me to "STFU n00B! Go SEARCH!", please save your time and energy, it's not going to help either of us if that's all the help you can provide.

*Searches for 'Naruto 3' in dolphin forum
*Looks at thread titles
*Finds this half way down page 1

All it took was 30 seconds.

Please admins, take the guy's suggestion: "And admins, u might want to Sticky this.. will save alot of unneccesary threads"

 

[JinXD]

STFU n00B! Go SEARCH!

Seriously though, some of the information here is useful, but alot of it's misleading/wrong. Given that the OP hasn't been active on the boards since August 15th, and never created the document he originally said he would....

 

[SWario]

My post was received a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Seriously though, there are 61 pages of threads in here, and somehow I doubt that they are all useful or even pertinent to the subject of this forum. Anyone considered a methodical forum purge?

Aside from that, if anyone has seen my other thread, they'd know that I've gotten Naruto 3 running at a fairly decent rate, but on a fairly powerful computer as well. Shortly, I'll actually be able to play it on the GameCube itself again, so my quest to reach the limits of playability for Naruto 3 on Dolphin 1.02 will soon be at a temporary end. I'll keep posting updates in my thread as long as better, more powerful computers are found and tested or whenever new versions of Dolphin are released.

 

[Blitzie]

Omg dude can't you see the difference between these 2 threads?

Help!!! i need help with naruto 3!!

for people that can't play naruto 3! read this!

seems sooooo obvious to me -.-

 

[BlackJaguar]

The reason I never got to creating the document was because my university studies got in the way. As for the post itself, it seems useful enough ti give people an idea. One of the main reasons I couldnt get it working back then was because my comp was way to slow to handle the speeds necessary for dolphin to run. The basic fact of the matter is if you want the emulator to run the game at all, you need to get a fast enough computer to run it. I hope with the dolphin 1.3 release they fix the issue with the zooming camera. If that issue with the bugs are addresed and the dyneric is improved to an extent where the actual fighting is 15fps and higher, I know that all the Naruto games should play just well for all those who own the game and want to play it on their comp.

Though one of my most biggest wishes with regard to the dolphin 1.3 is the ability to make save points and or be able to load .gci save files. With that they will probably be improve in gam capability and to be able to get across a menu and try to see if a save point that is ingame works.
