Black screen, no audio

[sys512]

I have created a small test project to see how it would run on a wii, it contains a cube with a blue/orange material, a directional light, audio, and a camera, Play In Editor works fine, as expected but wii and wii embedded show one frame of green then just black when run on Dolphin, same for homebrewed wii.

Here's my project in a zip file

I packaged your project for Wii (Embedded) and ran it in Dolphin. It flashed green for a frame or two, but after that I could see the cube and hear the sound. I'm working on the latest commit on the main branch.

Are you building from source code or are you using the precompiled Alpha release?

It's possible that it could be a devkitPPC version difference... I don't think devkitPro has there older versions easily downloadable. I'm not even sure if there are version numbers. Did you install devkitPPC a while ago or just recently? If you just installed it recently then I could try updating to latest and see if I hit the same problem.

I don't have my Wii setup right now, but I'll try to get it setup this weekend and see if your packaged build runs on it.

Here's the embedded version that I packaged, if you want to test it in dolphin or on Wii.

I built from source 6th August, should I re-download and build again?

ok, i'll try precompiled alpha, even though its 39 commits behind, this is what the current code gave me:

Failed to find global shader: Shadow.vert

D:\octave-main\Standalone\Build\Windows\x64\DebugEditor\Octave.exe (process 8744) exited with code -2147483645.

i packaged with alpha version and black screen again... must be devkitpro then...

What's error 2?

It runs fine in Dolphin but the texture of the cube looks corrupted on a real wii

I was finally able to test on a Wii, and yes I'm stuck on a black screen with the non-embedded build. Looks like it can't discover the project. Hope to find an answer soon. I have seen the texture corruption issue in the past, and I have some ideas of what it could be, so I'll try to fix that next.

Okay, I think I might have fixed the problem you were seeing when running a non-embedded build. The issue was that the engine was trying to read the Engine.ini config file before the FAT library was initialized and it failed. Therefore it couldn't determine the project name / directory.
