          @sugarfree Hi, I’ve already tried everything possible and haven’t gotten any results so far. With this method, the runcommand menu only shows me "dolphin," "dolphin-gui," and "dolphin-lr." I’ve tried all three, but no editor or anything similar opens up. The game starts normally, and I have to quit with ESC. Any ideas?

            What are the results from this command? :

            nano /opt/retropie/configs/gc/emulators.cfg

              @sugarfree Thank you for the respond. I've already found a solution. When starting a Wii game, the editor wasn't displayed. However, I tried with a GameCube game, and there I was able to launch the editor via the runcommand, allowing me to configure the controls for the Wii as well. :)

                You can add the GUI for the Wii games, it's the same instructions with a small change

                Run from terminal window:

                nano /opt/retropie/configs/wii/emulators.cfg
                

                Add this line:

                dolphin-editor = "XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu"
                

                Press ctrl+o and ctrl+x to save and exit from terminal.

                  @sugarfree That makes sense. I could have thought of this earlier. Big thanks!

                    First off not a coder here. I was also having a problem with your solution not working noticed that your extra line of code had "XINIT-WMC" where the original lines only had "XINIT-WM" so I removed the C and it worked.... no idea why.

                      I am glad you found the solution to your issue. To tell the truth, I don't remember what the -C does. I summarized the instructions from this topic here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35203/dolphin-gamecube-wiiware-wii-compatibility-on-pi-5/79?_=1736877049462

                        @sugarfree it changes line 950 below in runcommand.sh's matchbox parameters.

                        If it's XINIT-WMC the window opens with a cursor visible. XINIT-WM it hides the cursor

                        https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh

                        Totally off topic, I'm debating experimenting and seeing if I can use Labwc as the window manager instead seeing as X11 isn't as efficient and outdated. You can even see it in things like the Ocarina or Majora's Mask PC Ports, using matchbox it's slower in the title menu than if I use a different window manager.

                        I doubt it'd affect dolphin much as most of the slowdowns it feels are caused by certain effects that the Vulkan or opengl drivers on raspberry pi don't have a handle on
