@Nash said in GameCube/Wii Error: Mario Part 5:

@gvx64 If you search anothers games to debug, can I suggest Rogue Squadron 3 - Rebel Strike and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on Gamecube.

Rebel Strike runs on original Dolphin but pink loading screens and performances issues in training mission, or mission not start.
On Dolphin-rpi, green loading screens, dancing intro is very slow and game crash sometimes when skipped. Menu is also very slow and crash everytime.

Chaos Theory runs fine with your Dolphin-rpi, but have a dark filter in menu and game (very slow in original Dolphin, but no dark screen).

I also have right trigger problem in "Splinter Cell 1" (not Chaos Theory) in training level. I can draw pistol but I can't shoot (Maybe it's me who don't understand something).

Map in Metroid Prime 2 - Echoes is fixed, but now game is slow with sound stuttering.

And F-Zero GX have performance issues in both emulators Dolphin and Dolphin-rpi.

I am on overclocked Pi5 8go, Bookworm Lite 64, Retropie 4.8.9.

Thanks for letting me know. The only suggestion I can give you right now is for Metroid Prime 2 Echoes - Have you tried adjusting the CPU override value to a level below 100%? You can do this by editing the following:

/home/pi/DolphinConfig5.0/GameSettings/G2M.ini

[Core] #Values set here will override the main Dolphin settings. Overclock = 0.6 OverclockEnable = True AudioStretch = True AudioStretchMaxLatency = 50 GFXBackend = Vulkan

Also, you can play with audio stretch as I did above to see if that can smooth out the choppy audio.

I actually had a lot of success getting Metroid Prime 1 to run well on the Pi4B by turning down the CPU Overclock functionality. I am hoping that this can work for you as well.

@mitu Yup, that did it! You guys rock at patching this. Thanks a ton!

@sugarfree said in Dolphin Multi-Disc Question:

Yes, the emulator will automatically load the next disc. I have confirmed this with Resident Evil 1 and Zero, which I have completed.

Awesome. Thank you!

@sugarfree Ok nevermind. At first maybe I thought it was an rvz vs ciso thing, but I just loaded the .ciso 1080 Avalanche 5 times and on the 5th time it crashed. So I don't think the file type has anything to do with the random crashes.

@retropieuser555 Thank you! I will look into that!

These lines appear in the standalone version too but only affect the intro. The game is working without issues.

@sugarfree Ok that's great to know about the Vulkan driver. I do have it installed and working on lr-flycast-dev but was never able to get it running on the standalone version of Dolphin. It keeps throwing me an error.

So I'll give these scriptmodule changes a try right now.

Thank you!

@vorvy
Do you have any update on this? I am currently trying to make the same controller work, but I am not having much luck.

@retropieuser555 yeah that's most certainly an option, but from what I've seen on the standalone, it isn't much different from the libretro core where you just go and manually load up the next disc, right? Disc Control > Eject Disk > Load disc.

That seems to work fine, I was just surprise to see the m3u format didn't want to pre-load the disc images.

Hi! I just ran into this myself, and thought I'd post this for anyone else who had this issue to give an alt method, If you want to configure it with the GUI (which may be easier). It takes a few steps, and you will need a mouse.

install Desktop in Raspconfig
2 use the dekstop terminal to run QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu
3 configure your controller
4 important- while you are here, configure your hotkeys as well. Dolphin does not recognize the normal hotkey /exit button, it uses its own.

You can edit both GC and Wii controls this way

@gvx64

Follow the instruction on my last post here

If you use sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports mesa-va-drivers MESA will not be broken. With this, you don't have to play with dependancies.

Edit: For now, Bookworm Backports = mesa (25.0.4-1~bpo12+1) and not 25.1.

I never had issues with snes games with Rpi3 or Rpi4. I always had 60fps with the default settings and resolution 720p. N64 is another story, even with RPi5, emulation have issues with some games.

@pgcudahy said in Analog trigger on lr-dolphin:

and the triggers are now bound to an axis and not a button

Right. That's good, that's what they should be.

@slaan1974 said in Controller setup for GameCube in dolphin:

@YFZdude Hi, So I got this piece of software running,

select Controllers , select GC standard controller, press configure, select XInput2/0/Virtual core pointer, press all the individual buttons, they do react

select Emulate Wii BT, Emulated Wii, Config, select XInput2/0/Virtual core pointer, press all the individual buttons, they do react , i save this as profile sln

the buttons do react, and i saved it, but still i am not able to press buttons in a GC or Wiiware game

It sounds like you are doing the setup properly. You can confirm your controller settings have 'stuck' by re-opening the GUI and looking at the screens.

When you launch a game, does the runcommand box (grey with text) say it is launching with dolphin-gui ? That's how I run it so it may be necessary.

I haven't configured an emulated wii remote before but I did previously use a Logitech F710 as a gamecube controller and as long as the input is selected to match your device it should work. Double check that part. On my system, the Xinput2/0/Virtual core pointer is my keyboard and touchpad combo I think. I can try to verify that later tonight when I am in front of my system again.

EDIT: I just checked my setup at work that I forgot I had access to. Indeed on this system I have Xinput2/0/Virtual core pointer (keyboard and mouse) and evdev/0/Logitech Gamepad F310 (controller).

to add to the story i use a Wii Pro Controller

Is this the same controller you use with other emulators and it works fine?

Another couple of things you can try:

When you launch the Dolphin GUI, you can set (add) a ROMs directory and the games should show in the list on the main GUI page. Try launching a game directly from the emulator itself instead of through RetroPie and verify if the controller works this way. If that still doesn't work, try launching the Dolpin GUI with the sudo command in front of it and trying again. If the controller works this way, then you will need to add a udev rule to allow the emulator to have proper access to the controller.

on all other emulations i notice there is a bar in the bottom when a game starts this tells me the controller is enabled, but with GC/Wii there is no bar

The bar with the controller information is most likely a RetroArch notification. This would be present in any emulator whose name starts with lr-* which indicates the libretro version of the emulator. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are running the standard version of dolpin and not lr-dolphin. So those messages wouldn't appear the same way.

@yfzdude

Awesome, thanks a bunch dude. This is a good setup, appreciate the help.

@liquidmercury said in Gamecube games not launching from emulationstation:

@dreamcastkid I am aware, ive got retropie on x86. Sorry if I did not mention that. Thought I did

sorry, no i couldn't see any mention of you running x86

maybe attach the criteria as listed in the read me 1st post ?

@dankcushions I understand.

@polinator1993 Wow, great, where did you order it?
