Super Monkey Ball 2 - working or not?

[neopb19]

Hi

I tested Super Monkey Ball 2 game in Dolphin and... something crazy has happened

Game Starts OK, without any problems we can pass all the menus... "play" screen starts... I see: World 1 ... ~Simple ... I see all the stage in so good graphics without many glitches...

...Start... the ball is going down... and... FALL OUT! ... when the ball "touched the stage (ground)" , it is... far from the stage... and falling down...

Anyone know how to pass and fix it? Maybe bad SMB2 Image GCM?

In addiction , in the ball it isn't any monkey... error of the graphics plugin/soirce code I think... Menu has played in about 10-14 FPS, Game in 10-12FPS.

It's not the GCM, it's that Dolphin's dynarec is fairly buggy.

No it's not the dynarec, not even the interpreter emulates the FPU accurately enough for the super monkey ball games.. they use and abuse a lot of little quirks of the PowerPC fpu that would be extremely expensive (in terms of speed) to emulate properly..

Hm... is it possible to emulate Super Monkey Ball 2 game in the future ? Months..? one year? much more...? how do you think?

greetings and thanks for answers

More than likely, but at a guess I'd say it would be at least 3 years before it gets anywhere close to being playable (speed wise) ............

Of course it's possible with a LOT of work, but you'd probably be better off waiting for CXBX to run Super Monkey Ball Deluxe which is coming out for the XBox in a couple of months, including both monkey ball games plus some new levels..
