  45. Introduction:
  46. ===============
  47.  
  48. I've done a full playthrough of Skies of Arcadia Legends in VR and it's fully playable in the new version of Dolphin VR: (Dolphin VR ReduX)! To setup the game properly you will need Hide Object codes (Which fix graphical glitches and enhance the game) and a few other settings configured. All of the Hide Object codes are provided in my skies profile I've posted in the Dolphin VR Discord location (game-list-pc) under Skies of Arcadia. They are very easy to install you just copy and paste them into the correct Dolphin VR ReduX install folders. In these profiles, I also provide some other fixes and a bunch of AR codes/cheats, including a custom first-person code created by noseguy over on the Skies of Arcadia Discord! Have fun in VR! To get the profiles view the Setup info below:

  70. ==========================================================================
  71. Turn off the 'Underwater Effect' fix (For Start of Game) **IMPORTANT**:
  72. ===========================================================================
  73.  
  74. This fix is only to be used when you get to the underwater sections of Mt. Kazai and the Silver Shrine Cutscene (See details below). If you leave this on for any other parts of the game, then the menu's will be messed up. So, before starting the game, right click game/properties/Elements Group Overrides and makes sure the 'Underwater Effect' fix is off. I will explain further down when to turn it on of off.

  82. Like I stated above, in these profiles, I provide the required Hide Object codes that fix graphics issues/enhance the game, a Horteka Elder Hut Fix, some codes to remove the Altimeter and Compass on the World Map, and a bunch of AR codes/cheats! Including a custom first-person code created by noseguy over on the Skies of Arcadia Discord! I've posted the two profiles in the Dolphin VR Discord, location (game-list-pc) under Skies of Arcadia.

  201. Introduction:
  202.  
  203. Noseguy deserves a pat on the back for creating this comprehensive first-person AR code for Skies of Arcadia Legends! The camera has been permanently moved forward to allow for a true first-person perspective. While walking around, in dungeons as well as first-person ship travel. You can now even go inside houses or interiors and fully explore the areas within, finding little details you couldn't see before! There is also an arrow below you in case you need to verify your position. Lastly, Dhabu riding and the Yafutoma tug boat are in full view! Have fun in first-person Blue Rogues!

  217. ISSUES and FIXES
  218.  
  219.  
  220.  
  221. =====================================================================================
  222. First Time Approaching Valua: Graphics glitch and Error Message Issue (Workaround)
  223. =====================================================================================
  224.  
  225. After you get the passport you head for Valua. Problem is, sometimes when you approach, the graphics will get glitched/discolored. To prevent this don't approach from the side, but go near Sailors Island and slowly approach from the front. Just keep restarting and loading the game until the graphics and cutscene load in properly. Not sure what causes this. Also, make sure 'Use Panic Handlers' is turned off in Graphics/Interface/Render Window as well. As a pesky error message (GFX FIFO: Unknown Opcode) can also pop up from time to time.
  226.  
  227.  
  228.  
  229. ====================================================
  230. Horteka Elder Hut Texture Glitch (Fix/Workaround):
  231. ====================================================
  232.  
  233. When you first visit Horteka you need to talk to the Elder. When you enter his hut you will see an old lady to the right and a save point to the left. The Elder is in the back room. But for some strange reason the room is covered by a forest wall of leaves. So just walk forward behind it to talk to the elder. I made some Hide Object and Elements Group Overrides codes to fix this but as of now they currently work with Dolphin VR ReduX v0.4 2512-57 and will have to be tested again with any new ReduX versions. The codes can be found in my Skies profile I've posted in the Dolphin VR Discord location (game-list-pc) under Skies of Arcadia.
  234.  
  235.  
  236.  
  237. =============================================================
  238. Finding Rhaknam: Stuck in Maw of Tartas Glitch (Workaround):
  239. =============================================================
  240.  
  241. Right after leaving Horteka you fight Gordo. Then, you head for Valua and the Maw of Tartas. After fighting some Valuan soldiers Drachma learns that Rhaknam is in the area. When you leave the Maw of Tartas, Drachma says you need to rest up. But instead of automatically going back to the bridge of the ship you go back to the Maw of Tartas. So, you have to leave and once on the world map, manually press start and go to the bridge. Then you can find Drachma on the deck and continue on with the game.
  242.  
  243.  
  244.  
  245. =======================================================================
  246. Leaving for Daccat's Treasure: Can't leave Nasrad Issue (Workaround):
  247. =======================================================================
  248.  
  249. When Aika and Fina leave on their ship for Daccat's treasure, there is an issue where when you leave Nasrad you will immediately keep going back into town. To avoid this, right when you leave turn the ship as far left or right as you can. If done correctly you can continue on with the game.
  250.  
  251.  
  252.  
  253.  
  254. =============================
  255. Mt. Kazai Underwater Fix:
  256. =============================
  257.  
  258. Once you are at the Mt. Kazai dungeon and go underwater, either the screen will be 2D or go completely black. To fix this do the following:
  259.  
  260. Note: This fix only works with the newest release of Dolphin VR ReduX v0.4 2512-57 and up.
  261.  
  262. First turn these Hide Object codes off, go to game in library/right-click/properties and Hide Object Codes tab:
  263.  
  264. -Glitchy ghost box
  265. -Remove Underwater Effect Kazai
  266.  
  267. With these codes on the screen will stay black.
  268.  
  269. Next, you will also need to have Store EFB Copies to Texture Only turned on in Graphics Hacks, or the game will be in slow motion.
  270.  
  271.  
  272. Lastly, go click on the game in your library list, right-click/properties/Elements Group Overrides and turn on the 'Underwater Effect' code. Once the cutscene is over, turn the code off as it can mess up the menu.
  273.  
  274.  
  275. Menu's Stay Messed up with Fix Enabled:
  276.  
  277. With the Underwater Effect code enabled in Elements Group Overrides, the Menu's will be messed up. So in order to fix this the code will need to be turned off after the underwater section. Also, the code is on by default, so players who start the game from the beginning will have all their menus messed up. So, before you start the game be sure to right click game/properties/Elements Group Overrides and turn off the 'Underwater Effect' fix. Turn it back on when you get to the Mt. Kazai underwater parts then turn it off again when you leave.
  278.  
  279.  
  280.  
  281.  
  282. ================================================================================
  283. Mt. Kazai First-Person AR Code: Can't Pass Mini-Boss Room Glitch (Workaround):
  284. ================================================================================
  285.  
  286. When you get to the bottom of the Mt. Kazai dungeon, you will get to a room with two robot mini-bosses guarding a door. Once they are defeated, there is a glitch that happens with the First-Person AR code on, which blocks you from entering the room. So, once you get to this room don't fight them turn around and leave.
  287.  
  288. Go up the rope and ride the platform down to the beginning of the dungeon. Leave out the entrance and save. Once saved, turn off the First-Person AR code and restart the game. Go back up the platform, fight the mini-bosses and you will eventually get to the main boss save point. Save at the boss save point, turn the First-Person AR code back on, restart Dolphin and reload your save and continue on with the game.
  289.  
  290.  
  291.  
  292. ===============================
  293. Silver Shrine Cutscene Fix:
  294. ===============================
  295.  
  296. Once you are at the top of the Silver Shrine the cutscene that plays will be 2D. To make it 3D/VR just like the Mt. Kazai Underwater fix do the following:
  297.  
  298. Note: This fix only works with the newest release of Dolphin VR ReduX v0.4 2512-57 and up.
  299.  
  300. First turn these Hide Object codes off, go to game in library/right-click/properties and Hide Object Codes tab:
  301.  
  302. -Glitchy ghost box
  303. -Remove Underwater Effect Kazai
  304.  
  305. With these codes on the screen will stay black.
  306.  
  307. Next, you will also need to have Store EFB Copies to Texture Only turned on in Graphics Hacks or the game will be in slow motion.
  308.  
  309.  
  310. Lastly, go click on the game in your library list, right-click/properties/Elements Group Overrides and turn on the Underwater Effect code. Once the cutscene is over turn the code off as it can mess up the menu. Turn the code off after the cutscene for reasons I explain below.
  311.  
  312.  
  313. Menu's Stay Messed up with Fix Enabled:
  314.  
  315. With the Underwater Effect code enabled in Elements Group Overrides, the Menu's will be messed up. So in order to fix this the code will need to be turned off after the underwater section. Also, the code is on by default, so players who start the game from the beginning will have all their menus messed up. So, before you start the game be sure to right click game/properties/Elements Group Overrides and turn off the 'Underwater Effect' fix. Turn it back on when you get to the Mt. Kazai underwater parts then turn it off again when you leave.

  321. HD TEXTURE PACK
  322.  
  323.  
  324.  
  325. ========================================================================================
  326. Skies of Arcadia HD Texture Pack (by Bighead, Frozenwings, 1vierock and Legaiaflame):
  327. ========================================================================================
  328.  
  329. This is the closest thing to Skies of Arcadia HD we're probably ever going to get! This is a full and complete, A.I upscale HD texture pack of Skies of Arcadia Legends that I have converted for use with Dolphin VR. It was originally upscaled by 1vierock, with the main work (over 100 hours) being done by Bighead and Frozenwings. As well as various other texture fixes also done by me (Legaiaflame). I went in and manually fixed some character and environmental textures that the A.I. misinterpreted on 1vierock's side of the pack. So, all the bad NPC face textures are fixed. My full fix log can be found in the readme, within the pack.
