      I saw this video:


      Does this mean retro pie can do gamecube emulation without crashing?

      You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

        No, right now Dolphin will not work on a Pi in RetroPie.

          @mitu Is this because it has bugs, or Retro Pie takes up needed power?

            @Unknown No, it's because it's using a 64 bit OS, which is right now not supported by RetroPie.
            Briefly looking at the video, every game tested looks like it has serious slowdowns and it's barely playable, so at this stage it doesn't look like it would be useful.

                @Unknown I'm not your personal support assistant. You have to learn how a forum works.

                    I ran Dolphin on a Pi 4 Gentoo build. I can testify that the few games that ran fast enough to avoid being unplayable due to controller lag were unplayable due to frame skipping. Even with a hefty overclock on my Pi 4 I couldn't even match the frame rates ETA Prime was getting.

                    It was a fun learning experience non the less.

                    Currently running:
                    Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)
                    ES-DE on a GMKtec K6 (Windows 11, 32GB RAM)

                      @Unknown Even if it was supported, a pi4 will never run most games at a playable speed. Buy a used wii with gc support from ebay or a shop. It's sometimes cheaper than a pi4.
