@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.

@MCG_1983 There's is beta support for the PI5 in RetroPie-Setup, though without an official image release.

@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!

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.

With this it will be possible to open dolphin menu settings ?

No, but you can already do that by choosing the dolphin-gui emulator entry.

Yes, it's possible to start the games, but they will run very poorly. If you want to play Wii games, try another system - preferably a PC (x86).

Lakka has made some good inprovments for Gamecube, not sure how good for Wii games, but you need to overclock the heck out of your Pi to get good results on Gamecube

@skyde72 please provide details of your setup as requested.

@retropieuser555 I usually test sonic adventure 2 since the slowdowns are seen right at the first level. CPU 2000/GPU 750. There are a lot of framedrops on that downhill. With vulkan those are almost eliminated.

Without vulkan, the standalone version of flycast is faster than the included retroarch version. Cmitu has a wip script if you want to try it. Loading games from ES loads to flycast's menu instead. https://github.com/cmitu/RetroPie-Setup/tree/flycast-standalone

I'm not sure what's up with redream. Overall, it's way faster than any version of flycast but the huge frame drops to the point where it can make the game freeze for a split second makes me go back to flycast.

@gandalth23 said in Wii emulation performance using Vulkan on Pi4:

I confirm the behavior for Mario Kart Double Dash.

In your other thread you seem to have found a solution for Mario Kart Double Dash. What exactly is the fix? Using that fork of dolphin or the Gecko codes you provided?

Best,
gandalth

The solution to get rid of the blue fog screen is to install the Ishiiruka version of dolphin....

Bonjour, j'utilise retropie sur ubuntu 18.04 et installé dolphin.
tout fonctionne a part que si je met la langue de la wii en francais , a chaque démarrage du jeu avec emulationstation le jeu change de langue automatiquement et repasse en anglais.
sur la gamecube je n'est pas ce probleme
quand je lance dolphin sans passé par émulationstation la langue que j'ai choisi se met bien et reste tel que je l'ai mise, des que je lance les jeux avec emulationstation la langue se modifie et ce n'est plus celle que j'ai mise
Es-ce que quelq'un a déja eu le cas et a une solution
merci

@hackedmacbook111 This is a RetroPie forum, not a macOS forum. Besides, RetroPie is not responsible for developing the emulators, it just packages and configures existing emulators. If you want to run emulators on your macOS, then use the macOS versions of those emulators.

For anyone else looking at using a Wii like this; I couldn't find any reliable sources for the internal dimensions so I measured and did a drawing myself. Hopefully this is helpful to someone...
