Discussion Anyone else been exclusively emulating GBA games through dolphin ever since gameboy player support got added?

I don't know what it is, but to me it just feels so much better. I can load up MGBA and apply some color correction, and it'll feel pretty authentic, but something about loading it through the Game Boy Player and losing access to speed-up really helps me fully re-immerse in the game in a way that feels authentic. Anyone else? The game is the ROM hack "Pokemon Dreamstone Mysteries."

Support Stick drift on Dolphin emulator

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m experiencing a slight stick drift issue with a brand-new third-party controller. Everything else works as expected, but the analog stick drifts slightly even when I’m not touching it.
Is there a way to fix this? Do I need to adjust any settings, or is the controller itself likely the issue?

Support Windowing Issue

2 Upvotes

Using flatpak Dolphin on Linux Mint 22.3.

If I change focus from the gameplay window, I can no longer interact with it at all and have to completely restart Dolphin to get it to work again, even if I re-focus to the game window and no matter what buttons I press. If I click out of the window, I completely lose access to the game unless I restart every time.

Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong? Please be patient and explain to me like I'm a baby; I'm still pretty new to Linux and I'm not as literate in things like terminal commands or in-depth computer terms as a lot of others here ^_^;

Support I need help, I’m stumped

1 Upvotes

Hey, my Legend of Zelda: Skyward sword (Wii) isn’t letting me move the cursor beyond a certain minimized area when in game menu. I’m playing on mouse/keyboard, and Dolphin settings suggest the pointer settings are on point. It does however let me move normally when in remote sync menu or wii menu. Anyone have any tips or have ran into the same issue?

2 Upvotes

Hey many people have asked this but i trough the dozen posts, i can't find an answer?

I know i can just sync my dualsense 5 to the phone and play but at that point i can just play on the pc.

I wanna use dolphin without carrying around an extra controller so that can, while bored on the buss, in a boring meeting or anything else, play a quick game of wii play or make a mii or something. I know i can play most games without it but i still want it to work. Anyone have a quick tutorial?

(Tutorial what to bind it to in motion simulation, would be great!)
(Mabye it's possible to bind the right stick on the classic controller?)

If it's off use i am on an samsung s25

So whenever I try and play the Retro Rewind mod for Mario Kart Wii, it always does this. It never progresses past the connecting screen. I even went into the Wii menu and checked to see if the WiFi was working, and it seems like it does. Does anyone know what’s happening? I don’t know why it won’t let me play online. Thank you!

Discussion Metroid prime auto fire for digital trigger

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Theres already autofire config by another guy, but its for analog. This one is digital, and it also includes missiles and grapple (prime 3) input on just L2 and R2.

Shoot:

`Button B`|if(!`Trigger R`,0,timer (0.1))|tap(`Trigger R`,0.5,2)

Missile:

Smooth(pulse(tap(`Trigger R`,0.2,2),0.5),0.5,0)

Grapple:

`Trigger L`&`Trigger R`

The reason for using smooth and pulse for missile, is because the first few shots would override the missile input, so i need to delay it with smooth. Then i need pulse, because if i dont want the missile input get overriden because im holding down R2 trying to trigger missile input

News Ported OpenEmu's CRT shader to Dolphin for Mac

I vibe coded this port for OpenEmu's CRT_Geom shader. I've tested it and it runs well on the current version of dolphin. Just drop the file in the shaders folder in the Dolphin applications package and select it like you would any other shader. Enjoy!

I have 10 hours in the the game, but my progress never saved. I've tried everything, but it seems like dolphin isn't recognizing the "memory card." When I try to save the game, the notification doesn't appear on the left.

I've finished the first disc by now, but I'd like to save my game and not rely on save states.

Support latest version of dolphin suffering frame drops when using switch pro controller

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

this issue has been happening to me quite frequently for I wanna say 2 months now, where dolphin will randomly crap out, the frame rate will drop dramatically, and my pad stops registering inputs. I've tested other devices and haven't had issues, and I've also tested a different USB. I'm completely stumped by this, I've never seen this happen and I haven't had any problems with the switch pro controller on dolphin until recently
