@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!

@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

@TPR
If you want to play GameCube or Wii at fullspeed on a Pi5. You must use Dolphin standalone.
You just need to set your controller once and create hotkeys like lr-Dolphin and it will be like the lr-dolphin with the same hotkeys.

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?

@mitu said in Raspberry Pi 5 Speculation:

I don't think a Pi5 is in the works.

Given the timelines involved with designing and validating new hardware, especially when it involves chip design, we can be very certain that Pi 5 development is quite far along already. I know a Pi employee (jamesh, on the forums) mentioned already ~1 year before the Pi 4 was released that they had a good understanding of what the Pi 5 would be. I'd guess that at this point we're at most ~1.5 years from a Pi 5 release. I would hope to see it already this coming summer, but that may be a bit too optimistic.

Of course, the Pi 4 has still not peaked, since we're still waiting for Pi OS 64-bit, the full KMS video driver and Vulkan support. Personally, though, I believe the Pi 5 will in large part compatible with all the SW development work that's going on now, i.e. they will most likely keep the GPU very similar (at least from an architectural perspective).

It's pretty hard to speculate about what the Pi 5 will look like, but I mostly agree with @george-spiggott. Regarding using A75 cores, power consumption of the Pi 4 is already pretty much at the limit for what's practical when it comes to passive cooling. It's unlikely that they'd increase it further. This makes it challenging to provide a generational performance leap without going down to more dense manufacturing processes (such as 20nm or 16nm). So, I'd expect a process upgrade for the Pi 5. I also believe that at 16nm (and maybe also 20nm?) they will need to make some provisions to be able to keep the 3.3V I/O on the 40-pin header, since the silicon is not 3.3V tolerant. This will add cost and complexity.

My hope for the next Pi is that they're able to alleviate some bottlenecks in the design. It seems like memory bandwidth is lower than it should be, possibly because of internal bus limitations. My guess is that this is one of the reasons the performance of N64 emulation is still quite bad, despite seemingly not being particularly CPU or GPU limited on the Pi 4.

@George-Spiggott
Head over to this thread for updates on Mario Kart Double Dash:

Oh ok, thanks @mitu

For the complicated option (I have not tried this btw :) get one of those backwards compatible PS3s and make it dual bootable with Linux, run PS2 games on the straight ps os and maybe other emu's on the Linux boot?

:) I see youtube videos of people doing some of that but don't really know if the whole thing is possible. Might be fun to look into though if you have too much time?

edit: and maybe you could try to find an broken PS2 to just use the enclosure, take apart the PS3 and fit it into the PS2 shell. Voila! A PS2 made out of a ps3! :)
