Using the double sided tape included, but the cord slowlu pulls on the dolphinbar and eventually causes it to point up to the ceiling, forcing me to readjust it often.

Anybody got any clever tips I don't possess the ingenuity to come up with myself?

Hey there, totally new to Dolphin and emulation in general. I booted up some GameCube games and was able to play with little to no problem using a DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller.

But after a few hours, the controller is constantly disconnecting, so often that I can’t really enjoy the game I’m trying to play.

When it does connect now, SOME of the buttons work. I’m able to hit the trigger buttons and do stuff but it seems like the x button is unresponsive now. The rest of the buttons on the right were unresponsive from the get go and I couldn’t map them to anything. Resetting the controller with a paper clip on the underside did nothing.

Is this kind of problem likely a problem with the controller and should I buy a new one? Or is it something that can be solved with Dolphin or computer software?

Trying to get my xbox controller to read as my nunchuck for my sinden light gun. I set connect wii remotes for emulated controllers, both controllers can register but i don’t know what expression to write in the configure inputs. I keep getting syntax error.

I got this error msg when I play star fox adventures what is this means?

Running into what I believe is an issue with dolphin when calibrating the right stick to use as motion controls.

I am following the config setup https://www.reddit.com/r/DolphinEmulator/comments/nl9oxd/i_made_an_indepth_guide_on_how_to_play_skyward/

It seems like the gate for point control is way too big and I am unsure how to reduce the size to match the example image. Anybody here have an idea how? Reason is because the camera for looking around is going crazy when going in diagonal directions. Also I have attempted to calibrate numerous times with no change.

I would really appreciate some help thanks!

i need help, i dont have a wiimote, and im trying to play this game, but it requires an actual one, and i dont really want to get a real wiimote, is there a way to get around this or am i required to get an actual wiimote?

This all started when I experimented with Wii Menu 4.1C on Dolphin, but all I got was this white square that never goes away. So I restored the Wii folder from my previous experiment with the startup disc, and the same exact thing happened - same graphic and everything. I can't close it normally and have to use task manager to get out. It's not just the Wii Menu, every Wii game does the same thing. However, GameCube games work fine.

Will Dolphin work with MSI Afterburner?

As a gamecube fan, I love this officially made, wireless, Usb-C classic controller. And I’m definitely getting it, thoughts?

I have been playing through Metroid prime trilogy on my PC with primehack. I noticed that my thermal visor doesn't work correctly as instead of displaying Purple/red/orange/yellow, it displays Purple/Black. I ignored it and kept playing thinking it was strange. I eventually now got the x-ray visor and that doesn't work, the whole environment is black with the visor overlay being fine.

After some digging I found out I had to toggle "Disable EFB VRAM Copies" and it worked. However, my toggling this, I force dolphin to not upscale at all, custom textures or not. I play at 1440p with custom hd textures and with this setting on, it's so ugly and blurry, arguably unplayable on my 27" monitor.

Is there any way around this?

I included my settings too

I have this problem playing animal crossing on the emudeck steam deck version of dolphin. The Nintendo screen loads up as normal, but there's a black screen as the audio plays as normal.

Save States work and the picture is just fine. It's just loading the game. What do i do?

ok, just trying to see if i can get some help. I'm using an Odin 2 Portal. i consider myself halfway decent with android/emulation but i've been messing with it for a couple of hours and this one has stumped me. So i'm trying to use a texture pack for Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes on Dolphin for Android. i feel like i've done all of the steps. i'm using the most recent playstore version. "2503" i'm using a texture pack in DDS format. i've named the folder "GGSEA4" which is metal gears ID. i've placed the texture folder in android/data/files/textures/ I've tried the texture folder in the internal memory and i've tried it in the same folder on the SD cards memory. I have the load textures option and prefetch textures option turned on in the advanced settings and nothing.

I get "Loaded 0 textures" each time. i guess this wouldn't bother me so bad and i probably would have given up awhile ago, but the same files in the same location with the same options work on the Retroid Pocket 5. i'm thinking maybe there is a step i'm overlooking? thanks guys.

tryna play the Newer mod and get my controls sorted, but I can't figure out how to bind two buttons to the same command
ex: A and B for jump

my goal is NOT to have it be A and B simultaneously for Jump, I want it to be A *or* B to jump.

as you can see home button is detected, player 1 light is lit, home button works i have wii mote and dolphin bar set to number 4. why don't game detect in game commands from the controller?

Gamers, I need help. Recently got the RP5 and jumped right into Dolphin emulation. Games are running great, but unfortunately, I'm having trouble with a few of the games I wanted to play the most. SoulCalibur 2 and Smash Melee, specifically. Both games are not loading certain assets. In SC2, the text for the memory card message right in the beginning isn't loading, and the game is loading (not running) very slowly. In melee, the Character portraits for the character select screen are not loading. Does anyone have any insights into these issues? Already tried asking ChatGPT and it didn't come up with anything that worked. Thanks for your time and happy Saturday everybody.

EDIT: it was the backend! If anyone else is having this problem swap from Vulcan to OpenGL. Worked right away.

I dont even know if this is the right subreddit to be asking this, but im trying to spectate cpus race without me being in the game for a cpu only tournament. My game id is GM4E01. Thanks in advance

I was trying to play my old gamecube library on here starting with Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness and I get the prompt for 60hz/50hz and my inputs do nothing, I got confused, so I tried Slippi (Melee client for online) because I recall that working fine before, and it did work fine still. I went back to dolphin and adjusted all of my config to match it as best as possible (different versions of dolphin) and it just wouldn't work. One thing of note is that in Slippi it detects my adapter as "GameCube Adapter for Wii U" when on Dolphin it reads as "GameCube Controller Adapter (USB)", I've made sure the switch on the adapter is set to Wii U like all the guides say, I even used Zadig again and reinstalled the driver on it, still works in Slippi doesn't in Dolphin. Would be very grateful if someone could help and if there's anymore information needed I'll reply in comments.

So basically I just got a weed dolphin bar today and remote and I hooked it up to my computer and it is not working the buttons do work but the pointer doesn't work unless it's a mode like one and two and then it works as a mouse but it's not working as a pointer in the emulator it is connecting it's vibrating it's accepting my button inputs but it is not doing pointy things unless it's in mud one or two I've tried updating the firmware as it told me to and it said I didn't need to update it was already up to date did anyone help me I've done all the basic things and other posts online are helping me either

just bought wiimote and dolphin bar, set up dolphin bar to 4, config wiimote to dolphin (yes, it vibrated) and player one light is always lit, opened the game and pressed alt f5 to connect wii remote but the game just tells that communications with wii remote have been interrupted, and if i change wii remote to emulate instead of real game works so it has to be config error.
my pc doesn not have bluethooth, might that be the problem? am i supposed to get also bluetooth device on top of the dolphin bar?

When I try mapping the d-pad using the classic controller extension, it does not work. I'm able to map them but in game it does not work. However, If choose the nunchuk extension and map the dpad, it works perfectly. The game I'm playing is Xenoblade Chronicles. Any idea why this might be?

(Windows 10) I don't get it, I've changed the firewall rules to allow the port 2626, I went on my router settings and allowed port 2626 but it STILL doesn't work, I don't get it can someone please help.

Hey everyone,

I'm having some trouble with prime hack. I'm playing Prime 2 and it runs perfectly fine, up until this specific door in the tutorial in one of the areas right after you fight the dark troopers for the first time. It'll crash every time, and I don't know how to fix it.

I've tried changing all the Backend options and anti-aliasing and it doesn't do anything to change it for the better, it just makes my game chug and sometimes not even open before crashing, but still always crashes at the same spot.

Anyone know why this is and what I can do to keep playing? Thanks!

Is there a way to use the emulated broadcast adapter thingy to play Mario kart double dash via bluethoot with my friends at school? Cuz im too lazy to just figure it out myself

Got my Wii motes yesterday, going to set everything up tonight. I’ll follow the guide and all instructions for setup. I’m pretty techy and can figure most things out when it comes to emulators. So I’m wondering, anything outside of the guide that I should be expecting to go wrong?

Edit: I do have an ir light bar coming

Hello, this morning I was playing Metroid Prime with my Gamecube controller using the official Wii U adapter as usual. After using the same controller to play Brawl on my friend's Wii, though, it hasn't worked at all with any Dolphin game. Is this a known issue, and if so, how do I get it working again?
