''Wii Music'' focuses on creating arrangements of existing songs by controlling the members of an on-screen band. In order to do so, players choose from a wide selection of musical instruments that are played by mimicking the required actions using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Unlike other music games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero, players are not scored on their performance and are encouraged to experiment with different ways to play various songs.

Make sure you have progressive scan disabled otherwise you will just have a black screen.

The game works fine and the sound is great so all instruments sound good. The response time between the wii remote and nunchuk combo is very laggy, so to actually play something is really annoying.

Wii Music (Wiiミュージック) is a free form music game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii video game console as a part of the Wii Game Series.

Wii Music focuses on creating arrangements of existing songs by controlling the members of an on-screen band. In order to do so, players choose from a wide selection of musical instruments that are played by mimicking the required actions using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Unlike other music games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero, players are not scored on their performance and are encouraged to experiment with different ways to play various songs.

Emulation Information

Shut Down

This game's online functionality has been shut down as of June 28, 2013 and works in neither Dolphin or on Wii hardware.

Wii Balance Board

This title supports Wii Balance Board, though no emulation is provided for the Wii Balance Board. The real Wii Balance Board may be required to access some features.

  • In Bluetooth Passthrough mode, a Balance Board can be synced just like any Wii Remote, without any special configuration. Refer to the article for details.
  • Otherwise, set the Balance Board option in the Controller Configuration dialog from "None" to "Real Balance Board". Then press the red "Sync" button in the battery compartment of the balance board, and press "Refresh" if Continuous Scanning is disabled. There is no fast sync (Wii Remote 1+2) in the Balance Board, so the sync button must be used each time.

Problems

Dual Core Sensitivity

On slower PCs, this game may crash due to CPU/GPU thread desyncs. In order to prevent this, either disable Dual core or turn on Synchronize GPU Thread in the game properties page. On most modern computers, this should not be a problem as this game is fairly lightweight. Synchronize GPU Thread is enabled by default since at least 5.0-10000.

Missing Album Covers

With default settings, album covers will display as black. This can be fixed by unchecking Store EFB Copies to Texture Only in graphics configuration. See issue 10123. Fixed since at least 5.0-10516.

Mii's Faces

With Enable EFB Copy: To Texture the Mii faces aren't rendered correctly. Refer issue 2112. Fixed since at least 5.0-10516.

Enhancements

Banding

Banding may be present in shading on characters and surroundings when internal resolution (IR) is bigger than 1x. To fix it, turn on Force Texture Filtering.

Configuration

This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.
