So since Wii released Megaman 9 and 10 some people have tried playing those games on the Dolphin emulator via PC and when it comes to getting the DLC of those games to run, people have been encountering all kinds of issues, including me, so the purpose of this post is to provide a simple few steps tutorial to ensure that you can get the DLC up and running, because megaman 9 and 10 DLC can be installed into the Dolphin emulator and get to work properly. This covers the WAD files installation guide of the actual games of Megaman 9 and 10 and WAD files of DLC content for Megaman 9 and 10.
Step 1. You will need to use Dolphin STABLE version 5.0 (which is almost 3 years old as of this post, but is the working one for Megaman 9 and 10 DLC), not any of the daily DEV. versions(refer to image attachment named image1.PNG for more info)
here's the link. https://dolphin-emu.org/download/
(you may need to uninstall any other versions running on your computer, otherwise having several versions on same computer may cause the dolphin to crash and not work, make sure you save your data prior to switching to Dolphin 5.0 stable).
Step 2. Once you have your Dolphin installed and running. go to options > configure. (image2.PNG)
Step 3. Go to Paths and add the folder(s) in which the game and it's DLC are located. Click ok and hit refresh so that the list of those games and its DLC's are displayed. (image3.PNG)
Step 3.5 If you have attempted to install Megaman or it's DLC before and had some issues, you'll have to find and delete all those config files and save files as those are created by the emulator and now may contain errors and issues that will attach to your future attempts at installing the games DLC. Usually stored in Documents folder. Doing so will allow you start the installation process from a fresh state.
Step 4. DO NOT TURN THE GAME ON. Right-click on the game you desire to install and choose > Install to Wii Menu (image4.PNG)
Step 5. Do the same thing for the DLC file of the game. Make sure the DLC region matches the region of the game. I tested this on PAL and NTSCU versions. Both work just fine. Didn't test in between the versions. For example >Install to Wii menu Megaman 9 PAL, install to Wii menu Megaman 9 DLC PAL.
Step 6. Click Tools > Install WAD and choose the game you wish to install, then repeat this step for the matching region DLC WAD file. (image5.PNG)
Step 7. Now your installation is complete and should be working, Run the game to see if the DLC content is accessible.
There are posts online saying you need to install the DLC while the actual game is running and a in-game save file has been created, thats not true, all those steps need to be performed before running the game for the very first time. Image6.png and Image7.png shows the DLC content of Megaman 9 and 10 accessed on Dolphin respectively. Megaman 9 & 10 DLC installation issues is nothing new and is something i have encountered years ago and seems this hasn't changed up to this date. I tested this on windows 10 on two different computers and i hope this post will help out some megaman fans out there along the way.
