      I'm having trouble starting any games with lr-dolphin. It seems like it's having trouble initializing the video mode. I have this installed on Ubuntu 20.04.1 on a PC with a Ryzen 5 3400G.

      I can run dolphin and dolphin-gui just fine. I've tried fiddling with the video mode choices but haven't found anything that works. I've rebuilt lr-dolphin from the latest source via retropie-setup and still have the same problem. I'm not really sure what else to look at here. Any thoughts?

      Here's the log file:

        Same issue here. It also throws a load of corrupt files into Home.

        From a quick search, it seems like the same issue has been reported and overlooked in these threads, so lr-dolphin on x86 may have been dead for a while:

        • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28668/dolphin-on-retropie-for-pc-crashes-no-menu
        • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28604/gamecube-games-not-launching-from-emulationstation

        At least two issues I can see, poking around some logs/directories:

        • The lr-dolphin install script doesn't seem to create any kind of required 'Sys' folder and required metadata files anywhere, as mentioned in the libretro docs.
        • Seems like something is wrong with some of the directories being passed in retroarch config, as it's attempting to create a directory in roms with a double-slash, probably leading to those corrupt files in Home. If anything, these files should be created in /opt/retropie/configs/gc/ (if not somewhere else so it's shared between /gc and /wii configs?)

          Try changing the video driver in retroarch to vulkan or glcore (working for me). The gl implementation is currently busted but you can try the workaround: https://docs.libretro.com/library/dolphin/

          There is also currently a bug with this core and the GL driver that can be worked around by going to settings > user interface > show advanced settings ON and then going to settings > core > allow cores to change the video driver OFF.
          The Dolphin core will now work without issues.
