Dolphin Controller Not Working
-
Just recently started with RetroPi and installed Dolphin, however controllers don't work, yet the keyboard does. I've attempted searching for solutions but they all point to running the Dolphin GUI by navigating to "/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/" then running "dolphin-emu". However this directory doesn't exist in my installation of Dolphin, I've also attempted reinstalling Dolphin which did not help.
Currently using a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB, running RetroPi 4.8.7(64-bit).

Support for RPi5 is in heavy development, so for now, to have access to the Gui, you have to do this :
Run from terminal window:
nano /opt/retropie/configs/gc/emulators.cfg
Add this line:
dolphin-editor = "XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu"
In the end, the file it will be like this:
dolphin = "XINIT-WM:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu-nogui -e %ROM%" dolphin-gui = "XINIT-WM:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu -b -e %ROM%" dolphin-editor = "XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu" default = "dolphin-gui"
Press ctrl+o and ctrl+x to save and exit from terminal.
Start a game and choose from runcommand menu the dolphin-editor. This will open Dolphin GUI, where you can change the parameters of the emulator and configure the controller
