Support Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Blue Screen Issue (DolphinPS4)

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello! I've been testing the DolphinPS4 emulator on my PS4 Slim, but I'm encountering an issue. When launching Super Mario Galaxy 2, the game gets stuck on a blue screen with a flash/glitch. It's quite strange and completely prevents normal gameplay.

​I’ve been testing different versions: it ran properly on v4.01, but from v4.05 (or slightly earlier, though I've only tested that one specifically) onwards, this bug occurs.

​The audio still plays and the FPS counter is visible. When pressing A and B (mapped to R2 + X on the DualShock 4), the flash goes away, leaving just the blue screen. So, in a way, the game is technically running "in the background."

​I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this issue or if there's a fix available. Tweaking settings hasn't solved it, and the only workaround I've found so far is downgrading to a much older version (v4.01, while v4.12 is already out).

​I’m sharing my experience here to see if anyone knows anything about this bug. Thanks for your attention!

Hi all! I recently started running the dolphin emulator on my switch through Tico. I am trying to play a Kirby game to test it out, and the game is almost constantly lagging/stuttering. I have tried adjusting some of my settings, but not sure what settings in particular I should change. Any advice is appreciated :) photos include my current graphics and emulator settings.

Support GameCube Controller Help?

1 Upvotes

Trying to launch Metroid Prime after a week or two of not playing it and my controller is not being recognized by Dolphin. I have unplugged/replugged both my adapter and controller before opening Dolphin (which usually works) but it will not recognize my controller when I go to configure and set my preset. I just updated Dolphin so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it but any advice helps. I have also switched the PC/Wii U setting off and on to no avail.

EDIT: My PC is recognizing my adapter and I have also tried another GC controller with no luck

Discussion Is there a way to set a toggle/hold fast-forward button instead of using the 10% speed increment hotkeys?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm playing turn-based GameCube games and currently using the "Increase/Decrease Emulation Speed" hotkeys. However, it only goes up by 10% with every single press, and lowering it back down is a hassle.

Is there a way to set up a proper Fast Forward / Turbo button (like a hold-to-activate or toggle button) that instantly speeds up the game to around 300% and immediately goes back to normal when I let go? Thanks in advance!

The wiimote connects just fine, but it just won't detect the nunchuk at all. I can't map any buttons to use it, it acts like it's not even plugged in. The wiimote is one with Wii motion plus inside if that helps

Support Auto-Switch Controller when Docked?

1 Upvotes

Does anybody know if there is a way Dolphin can detect if my Legion Go S is docked and I connect a Bluetooth controller (8bitdo) to use the Bluetooth controller and not the legion go embedded controls? Seems like many other emulators do this already. I want it to work in the following way:

Legion Go S Docked: Uses any/all connected Bluetooth controllers

Legion Go S Undocked: Used Legion Go S embedded controls + any connected Bluetooth controllers.

I could’ve sworn it used to work like this but now it does not. Right now, it seems to only accept one or the other. I’m using SDL/0/Lenovo Legion Go S Controller.

Side note - How do you set Dolphin to use a certain controller configuration every time you open it? I created a new profile, but it resets to the blank profile every time I close Dolphin. I set up the [Controls] PadProfile 1 = Profile setup in the individual game level, but wondering if it can be setup globally on the emulator.

News EasyJoycon: Joy-Cons as Wii Remote + Nunchuk on Linux, with Dolphin configured automatically (gyro pointer, Nunchuk, rumble)

9 Upvotes

I made a Linux app that turns Switch Joy-Cons into a Wii Remote + Nunchuk for Dolphin, and sets Dolphin up so you don't have to touch the controller settings.

https://github.com/thel4stbolacha/EasyJoycon (free, GPL-3.0, AppImage)

How it works with Dolphin:

  • It talks to Dolphin through the DSU client Dolphin already has, only on 127.0.0.1.
  • "Open Dolphin" writes the controller config for you: Wii Remotes, Nunchuk, GameCube pads and rumble, one per player. It backs up your config first and only writes while Dolphin is closed. Works with the Flatpak or the regular install.
  • Pointer: Dolphin's IMU pointer, with recentering like Switch games: point at the middle of the screen and press the stick.
  • While the game is running you can unplug/plug the Nunchuk (capture button), turn a single Joy-Con sideways, or split a pair into two Wii Remotes.
  • Rumble from the game goes back to the right controller.
  • It keeps Dolphin's SDL from grabbing the Joy-Cons at the same time (that was breaking motion for me).

Players are set up like on the Switch: L+R = Wii Remote + Nunchuk, SL+SR = sideways Wii Remote, up to 4 players. The Pro Controller works too. Pairing is done from the app, and after that a button press reconnects the controller.

Linux only for now. Tested on Linux Mint 22 with Wii Sports Resort and the Wii Menu. If you try it with other games, I'd love to know how it goes.

I built this with a lot of help from Claude and tested every part with real controllers.

Support 240p output possible on Dolphin? If so, how?

5 Upvotes

Planning a PC build for connecting to my CRT TV via CRT_Emudriver (which allows for native output to CRT TVSvia compatible Radeon cards) and was considering using it for GC + Wii emulation. I know a few games (i.e. Megaman 9 + 10 and the Konami Rebirth games) have a pixel art style that would look better in 240p, so I was wondering if it's possible to get that.
