MKDD Tint Issue RPI5

[TPR]

@retropieuser555 Something else I just noticed about the script. If you have two controllers connected, they both work, but only controller 2 has the ability to exit out of a game with the hotkey. Controller 1 no longer does this.

[TPR]

@retropieuser555 The script does not seem to work with .m3u files. Neither Metal Gear Solid or Medal of Honor Rising Sun worked with the controller.

EDIT: Nevermind. Got the M3U file to work. Seems like the discs have to be visible in the same directory as the m3u to work correctly.

I had my disc files as .Metal Gear Solid - The Twin Snakes (USA) (Disc 1).rvz so they wouldn't appear in the listing and then I also tried putting them in a different folder and neither worked.

But if the .rvz file is visible in the same folder as the m3u, it seems to work.

1. Yes, my experience with multidisc iso's in dolphin (Baten Kaitos) is that when you reach the end of disc 1 the save file should get updated, then you can close the emulator and reopen with disc 2. RE4 should be fully playable on a Pi5 using dolphin-rpi.

2. /home/pi/DolphinConfig5.0/GameSettings/ (if you installed using the script or using the instructions in post #42 of this thread).

3. Thanks for letting me know, is this the game-list inside the main dolphin gui window? I will look into it.

Adding m3u support to dolphin-rpi is still on my to-do list.

1. Perfect, thank you!

2. Found it!

3. Yes, the main game-list. Only my iso or ciso files appear.

Also do you think @retropieuser555's controller detection script will work with your version?

Oh man that would be incredible!

Nope, I was right the first time. .m3u files don't work. I was fooled into thinking it did because I had loaded Metal Gear Solid - The Twin Snakes (USA) (Disc 1).rvz on its own so it saved my XBOX 360 profile to the config, and then it kept loading that up every time I would load that game again, but then on other games, the .m3u file didn't work.

I went back to Metal Gear and tried another controller and it poped up with XBOX 360 even with a different controller connected.

So the .m3u files don't currently work correctly.

Does this work from launching a game through emulationstation or just through Dolphin?

@TPR if you're unsure and have a copy of tales of Symphonia you can test it by setting the m3u to go disc 2 then disc 1, as the game behaviour on a real GameCube is it tells you to swap discs and waits for the user to swap, then carries on from disc 1

Let me try that right now.

So that totally worked! I got the message that it was auto changing discs in the normal version of dolphin-gui.

I still can't get the controller detection script to work with .m3u files though.

Looking into this more...

If I have the .m3u file with the disc 2 being loaded first, it auto swaps the disc when loading the .m3u file from emulationstation.

If I load the disc 2 .rvz file on it's own from emulationstation I get this:

But the .m3u file doesn't update the controller setting in the game id file.

I see in your script there is a check for the .m3u file but is there a certain way I need the m3u file created or named so that it works with the script and updates the game id file with the current controller I have connected?
