r/DolphinEmulator

Lost game data in a shuffle, not a biggie. But is there a way to get the game banners back without opening each game as that is kind of tedious. TY

It's not an easy setup process but when its done its wild: https://github.com/Nobbie248/PrimedGun

I really would like to use the mGBA emulator through Dolphin to evolve a Scyther in Pokemon XD. I've gotten to the point where I can pull up the GBA window while in Dolphin, but the current problem is that when I go to open a ROM in mGBA, I can't find the file. I go to where the files would normally be located (Emulation/roms/gba), but the only file it shows is a folder labelled "media" that has nothing useful in it.

Some other information that may or may not be relevant:

1. I've run everything through Steam ROM Manager and accessed the GBA game I want (Pokemon Emerald) with no problems (to get to the point that I could trade with XD)

2. There is another .gba in the folder (Sonic Advance 2) but it also does not show up

3. I've launched desktop mode several times to check that, yes, the files ARE in the correct place. However, even when I launch Dolphin while in desktop mode, I have the same issue of not being able to find the correct files

4. I've been saving these files on an SD card, but I never remove the SD card from my Deck

I've tried to find more information on this subject but I haven't found anything helpful yet. I'm sure the solution is simple but I am not great at file-finding even on Windows and I have very little experience with Linux. If anyone has any information, please respond if you can. I'll answer any questions about what I did if that's relevant.

I've recently downloaded the dolphin emulator because I wanted to play Mario kart double dash. I was glad when I read that it's possible to use the ps4 controller. However it apparently isn't?

I made sure every setting is right and I also made sure to put in the right controls. I name it and save it and tick the box so that the controller is always connected. However as soon as I start the game, I get no the reaction.

Anybody know why I got this problem?

So i want to play no more heroes but early on I realised I need motion controls and I heard you can put the motion controls connected buttons so can you and how do you

Candles are too risky and also they don't last that much, is there anything else?

Looking for some game recommendations for wii or GameCube games

So far I've only really tried Marvel rise of the imperfects, Lego pirates of the caribbean, and Lego Star Wars Clone Wars.

I do plan on trying the other Lego games, and I have downloaded pokemon colosseum and gale of darkness but that's about it

Recently, my Mayflash dolphin bar has been having an issue where it will pair perfectly to my wiimotes as soon as I press A/the power button on them, so that all the buttons and motion inputs work perfectly, BUT it will not track the cursor on the screen. At least, not initially. If I sit there and madly wave my wiimote around and/or restart my computer a couple of times, the cursor will start appearing in patches- first for a second, then flashing from right to left briefly before disappearing, then eventually its there as it should be and works with zero issues the rest of my gaming session. This process takes between 5 to 10 minutes and its as if it is “warming up.”

Some more information- I am updated to the most recent version of Dolphin. I am using real wiimotes. I am sitting between 5 and 8 feet away from the sensor. The mayflash bar is set to mode 4 AND has the real wiimote setting in controller settings selected. Using the camera on my phone, the IR lights seem to be working fine (at least, I can see them very dimly on my pixels selfie camera, IF all the lights are turned off in my room). Audio to controller is set to off. I have tried disabling steam in task manager and it doesnt seem to aid or hinder the situation at all.

I just started using dolphin again after about a year break, but the last time I used it, it worked perfectly without a trace of this issue at all. The only major change Ive made to my pc setup is that I recently got a new bluetooth usb adapter- could that be the root of the problem? or should I be re-pairing the wiimote every time I start dolphin?

this is very frustrating- any help would be much appreciated!

i set the adapter to wii u mode and followed all of the setup using zadig to get the right drivers and the controller input works fine but rumble just doesn't activate. i know for a fact this controller has a rumble motor inside so i don't know if i followed the setup instructions wrong or what

Hello hello hello. I'm planning on putting all important files on external hard drive and factory resetting pc for better performance. I dont want to lose progress on games im emulating on dolphin. Is it as simple as putting all my dolphin files on the external hard drive then putting them back, or is there other factors that I have to be mindful of thanks.
