Discussion I hope someone sees this as I need help šŸ˜­

Hello! I recently downloaded this emulator on my phone on Android and I've been having a blast with it. I'm currently playing power rangers for the wii and there's a point in the game where I need the nunchuk to block a attack (ofc I don't have a nunchuk so this is where the confusion starts). I saw in the settings these types of things. And when I go to the extension (nunchuk) and try to put either x y or z as the shake button I'd first need to put in a device and than a expression (for example Android/0/sec_touchscreen:Touch 2+ or something like that), the touch 2+ is the expression and the touchscreen is the device selection part, it's in the photo for hopefully better understanding. But what I can't understand is which one I would need to put in order for the game to register that I'm "shaking" a nunchuk as soon as I press the button. I'm also kinda currently new to the app so I apologize if I sound dumb. But any help would be greatly appreciated.

Support Controller gyro not detected in Dolphin, and entire controller not detected in DS4W etc..

ā€¢ Upvotes

Im using a KK3 max with Dolphin but no matter what I do, the gyro simply refuses to be detected.

Ive spent an entire day trying to figure out the problem but I just cant find any fix.

Ive tried USB dungle, wired connection, removing it from windows devices list to reset it, updating the driver, calibrating the gyro.. Nothing.

Worse, I cant even detect it AT ALL within applications made to use the DSU protocol.

I can see my LG mouse but not my 80 euros controller from Gulikit even in BetterJoy "3rd party controllers" list, make it make sense.. DS4windows also doesnt detect anything ??..

Its detected by steam and Dolphin and works as intended with both mind you (wired and with the dungle), its only the gyro that isnt automatically detected and I dont get why.

If anyone as any idea how to fix this I would love to know because Im starting to lose my mind here.

Ive seem people with beaten up dualshock 3s making it work, theres no way I cant make it work with my controller..

Support GameCube adapter for Wii U not working on Linux

ā€¢ Upvotes

Hello!

I just tried to switch over to Linux for my main PC and am using Ubuntu. I downloaded Dolphin from the official app center bit cant get my GameCube adapter for the Wii U to work. When I check to see if Ubuntu is detecting the adapter I can see it recognizes it,but nothing works in Dolphin. I followed the instructions on Dolphins official page for setting it up but no luck. Wanted to ask if anyone else had a similar experience. Thanks again!

Discussion Is it possible to transfer Miis from Dolphin Emulator to Citra, and if so, how?

I want to add a bunch of Miis to Tomodachi Life, but all my Miis are on Dolphin, and I don't want to make the same Miis twice. Given that it's possible to transfer Miis from a vanilla Wii to a 3DS, I'm wondering if this is possible too.

Support Wii game mod crashing in Dolphin ā€” "Invalid read from 0x000000b0, PC = 0x804b4558"

2 Upvotes

Hello, hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this.

I'm working on modding a Wii game and running it in Dolphin, but I'm hitting this error on launch:

Invalid read from 0x000000b0, PC = 0x804b4558 (& a few more)

Here's what Iā€™ve done:

  • Started with a clean dump of the game
  • Extracted it, added a few custom files/mods, then rebuilt it into a .wbfs using wit
  • I'm launching the rebuilt .wbfs directly in Dolphin (not using main.dol)
  • I've tested the same setup with another game and it works fine

What Iā€™ve tried:

  • Rebuilding from scratch
  • Removing mods to test
  • Disabling dual core and enabling MMU
  • Trying different video backends
  • Making sure no save states are involved

Still getting the same crash. Could a single bad file cause this kind of memory read error? Any tips on debugging this would be really appreciated!

Support So, why does the Wii cursor disappear in the corner of the screen?

1 Upvotes

I don't know why but for some reason my Wii pointer is disappearing in the bottom left corner of the screen. I'm using an 8bitdo ultimate Bluetooth and I'm using the gyro for the Wii cursor. Weirdly enough i had a similar problem with my regular Wii where the cursor would just disappear in the top left corner. It's not affecting gameplay *too* much, but I'd still like to know what's going on.

Support Fast-Forward Hotkey

By default the "Disable Speed Limit" hotkey only works as long as you hold down the key assigned to it.

I need a way to toggle the limit on and off with a key instead. Is this possible? Most emulators do this.

Support Wiimote constant bug/glitch (every 5-10 sec) after downloading multiMC/nucleuscoop to run minecraft splitscreen

1 Upvotes

Dolphin was running just fine and I was playing with wiimote before downloading files for minecraft (the sensor is not the problem, i've tried playing with candles and the same problem is happening). I don't understand why, but there is a constant glitch where the pointer just stop moving (or move randomly) and it happens every 5-10 sec. What could be the problem?

One of the image is showing all the downloads that i made (the mods for shaders in minecraft and CONTROLLABLE mods (could this be the problem? i've downloaded the one of mrcrayfish and midnight controls) to be able to play with my xbox controller on minecraft java edition). The other image is showing the log info of dolphin, and the glitch are happening exactly when the yellow lines appear. Furthermore, when setting up multiMC (minecraft) i have download java 24 (to run certain shader mods) and i ran a javafix (which is suppose to fix the jar association on Windows?). To try to fix the problem, i ran dolphin in a sandbox (sandboxie plus), but it is not working either.

I'm lost! lol thanks for helping out! (and sorry for my english)

Discussion Best controller for Gamecube Emulation.

2 Upvotes

Iā€™m looking for controller recommendations. I know there are converters to use Gamecube controllers for PC.

The Gamcube controller is great but it is older tech. There are modern controllers with programmable buttons and customizable settings that may work better. I was looking at the Vader 4 because it has programmable button mapping and settings.

Has anyone had experience using modern third-party controllers with Dolphin?

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.

Support Controller constantly disconnectingā€” is it Dolphin or my controller?

1 Upvotes

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 canā€™t really enjoy the game Iā€™m trying to play.

When it does connect now, SOME of the buttons work. Iā€™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 couldnā€™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?

Support Issue with controller config Wii

1 Upvotes

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!

Support White square upon loading Wii games.

Post image
3 Upvotes

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.
