    @TPR Give it a try, if updating doesn't work you can also just uninstall and then install from source using the same menu. That said, in either case, please just back up your settings directory beforehand as I mentioned in the above post. I am going to have to look at the install script again when I have time and make sure that the mv commands that I currently use to create and populate the DolphinConfig5.0 sub-directories are conditioned to not overwrite existing files.

    Backup your settings folder (pre-update/reinstall):

    sudo cp -r /home/pi/DolphinConfig5.0 /home/pi/DolphinConfig5.0OLD/
    

    Restore your settings folder (post-update/reinstall):

    sudo rm -r /home/pi/DolphinConfig5.0
    sudo mv /home/pi/DolphinConfig5.0OLD/ /home/pi/DolphinConfig5.0/

      @gvx64 So the update most certainly worked and I have the new version, but here is the error I'm getting:
      Screenshot 2025-01-29 11-06-38.png
      It seems that the games aren't populating at all in Dolphin anymore which is why it can't seem to find them.

      I reverted back to the old version and they appear just fine. So not sure what is happening here.

        @TPR OK, please move all your roms into the gc directory (don't use the R subdirectory) and remove space characters and rename your files as follows:

        Resident_Evil_4_USA_Disc_1.ciso
        Resident_Evil_4_USA_Disc_1.ciso
        

        Now, also create an .m3u file located within the gc folder that is named as follows and contains the exact two lines above:

        Resident_Evil_4_USA.m3u
        

        As mentioned, this m3u file will not show up in your game list inside the dolphin-rpi gui (you will need to go file->open)

        Please let me know if this works.

          @TPR Can you please give me some more information regarding why your game list is not populating. It is working for me using the new build (it's just the m3u file that is missing).

          1c3da04a-c9b2-4d85-8d61-804f5bef1160-image.png

          Did you try resetting your ISO directory path using the Config -> Paths -> Add?

              @TPR The gamelist of this new build is populating fine for me on two different Pi4's. Are you opening the dolphin-emu or dolphin-emu-qt2 binary? Don't use the latter. Can you provide a screenshot? Without more information, I don't know what I can do to help here.

                @gvx64 Tried a number of different configurations and file names, rom locations, etc, and nothing seems to work. For some reasons my roms are no longer populating in Dolphin.

                  @TPR OK, firstly in your m3u file, please get rid of "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gc/" and only include the file names (one file name on each line). The contents of the m3u file should look like this:

                  RE4_1.ciso
                  RE4_2.ciso

                    @gvx64 I tried that also. Same results.

                      @gvx64 This is what my file currently looks like:
                      Capture.PNG

                      The bigger issue here seems to be that my rom files are no longer showing up in dolphin. Either .iso or .ciso format. I get nothing populated.

                      I may have to just re-install from scratch again and I can try that this weekend.

                        @TPR One thing to also make sure of is that you create your m3u file in Linux not windows. The line-ending characters are different between the two operating systems. For this reason, there will usually be major issues if you try to run a script on linux that was created on Windows.

                        I only thought of this because you have the file open in WordPad in your screenshot. I really hope that this fixes the m3u issue.

                        I am trying to think about why the gamelist is not working for you.

                          @TPR In regards to the game list can you please try the following command:

                          sudo chmod +777 -R /opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin-rpi/bin
                          

                          I am not sure, but it is possible that your binary does not have full privileges. This could be preventing the game list module from properly reading the iso's.

                            @TPR The only other possible solution that I can think of regarding your game list issue is that you might want to rebuild dolphin-rpi using the instructions in Post 42 and not use the install script. I have rebuilt dolphin-rpi just now using the procedure in post 42 and I can confirm that the game list is fully functional.

                              All of the other m3u files I have work just fine though on the normal version of Dolphin. I don't think it's the m3u file honestly, it has to be something with why the games aren't populating. I'll try re-instaling rpi from scratch this weekend on a new build.

                                @TPR That might be the case for a more current build of dolphin but keep in mind that I implemented a very early version of m3u support in dolphin-rpi that appears to be more finicky about this sort of thing.

                                Actually, I just tested this theory on my end by creating an m3u file for Tales of Symphonia using my Windows 11 machine and uploaded it to my Pi4 and I got this error message:
                                0b28c97d-32f5-48ce-ad85-873cd03c4c62-image.png
                                This error does not occur if I create the exact same m3u file using nano on the Pi. As a result, I am 90% sure that the source of your problem with the m3u functionality is because it is having issues reading the windows file. It is very easy to create on your pi, you can do it with the following commands:

                                sudo nano /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gc/RE4.m3u
                                

                                type in the following text:

                                RE4_1.ciso
                                RE4_2.ciso
                                

                                You can then save this file by using the keystrokes "CTRL-X" followed by typing "y" and then "ENTER". This creates an authentic Linux m3u text file that should now work in dolphin-rpi.

                                The bigger and much more confusing problem to me is why your games list is not populating. I rebuilt 3rd copy of dolphin-rpi tonight following the exact instructions in Post 42 and the game list works perfectly for me. I hope that if you follow those steps exactly that it should work for you this time (fingers crossed).

                                    Thanks, I agree with this. I will modify Post 42 to remove the unnecessary directory creation from the instruction set when I have some time.
