    Default Sonic Unleashed fails to boot

    I've recently downloaded and trimmed with WIIScrubber a copy of Sonic Unleashed for Wii.

    Although when I try to boot it up with dolphin, it fails to boot and I'm left with the black screen other than it reading my PC specs in yellow.

    I've looked up on the dolphin wiki, saying that I should use the "Sonic and the Black Knight" custom projection hack preset and I should use OpenGL, both of which I did and still doesn't work.

    When I have the time I will try WBFS loading on my softmodded wii, but this stuff is irrelevant unless it doesn't load up on actual hardware and means that either it is a bad copy or it is the trimming I did.

    System specs below.

    Using Dolphin 3.5-397. I have a most of the hacks but the XFB emulation enabled, if this helps. Rest of the settings are default.

    EDIT: On the wiki, it was rated 4/5 stars, meaning that it should boot and be playable.

    EDIT 2: Scrubbing and the original file didn't work. Other copies don't work either. Guess it's Dolphin again.

    EDIT 3: Actually it was my frame limit set to auto which caused the problem. Tested it with a scrubbed iso.

    Trimming possibly wasn't the best idea it does mess some games up.

    As for it effecting the emulation I wouldn't know though, I would go with corruption though

    Oh so trimming was the problem? Well I guess I'll have to try out my WBFS loading to confirm that it's corrupt.

    EDIT: I'll try WBFS loading whenever I can; it might take a while before my time frees up and I can do it.

    Sorry I was panicking then since I would then have to get another copy of the game which would take so long to download.
