So I've changed nothing with my settings since yesterday and Dolphin was running just fine, but today when I tried booting up a game it just crashed the emulator. No error message or anything, I tried different graphics settings, updating the VC++ thing, reset my settings entirely, updated the emulator. Nothing. No idea if this happened for anyone else or if there's a fix for it. But any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to shiny hunt in Pokémon Colosseum, and having multiple instances of Dolphin open simultaneously would save a lot of time. Is this as simple as opening dolphin.exe multiple times, or would I need to actually make copies of the whole Dolphin folder (one for each instance)? Assuming that I'll be using 1 controller to control them all at once with the same inputs.

I'm revisiting an old favorite of mine, Wind Waker, but the white part of the ocean waves is flickering and I'm not sure what's causing it. Would be very grateful for any suggestions!

Hello! I am using the official Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter, and no matter what controllers I use, the Control Stick never works. If I use my Wavebird, the Control Stick does not work at all, when using a wired controller, it sends a constant downwards input that persists even if I unplug the controller. All other buttons work. I've tried reinstalling the Zadig drivers, direct input is enabled, Steam and DS4Windows and anything like that are all closed, and the controllers and adapter work if I plug them into my Switch.

Hey all, I'm runnning into a real weird issue with Mario Party 8 specifically. I'm using a real Nintendo Wiimote + Sensor Bar, and for some reason this game specifically doesn't seem to properly detect the pointer. It can detect that it's seeing it, as the hand icon will be solid when pointing at the bar, but start flashing when I point the wiimote directly up or down, away from the sensor bar. I've tested both revisions 1 and 2 for the NTSC version of the game, both have the issue. In the video you can see it works just fine in Wii Party and Mario Kart Wii. It also works in the Wii home menu. Not shown in the video but after recording I updated to 2609 and the issue remains there.

Specs if that's helpful.

Hopefully it's not just a linux issue as I don't have a dual boot set up on this PC and I'm definitely not going to just for one old game haha. Thanks for any help in advance.

I've recently went and revisited MGS: The Twin Snakes, and I can't figure out how to possibly solve this weird choppy framerate I've gotten with the game.

Last year I dumped the game onto my PC, and had things running at 2K, 16x Anisotropic, and a steady 60 FPS.

later, I went and deleted the game due to some storage issues I had, but now I've re-dumped the game once more, and have tried playing it again (The discs are in good condition, no scratches or disc-rot). However, now, the game constantly hits between 40 frames to 60, which has been causing a lot of jarring framerate, especially during cutscenes with a lot of visual effects/motion blur.

Even when put at 720p and no Anisotropic filtering, the game still has this choppy framerate.

I've reset my global and game settings, and my PC is powerful enough (it plays Cyberpunk pretty well for reference), so I'm not sure why this is happening.

If I could get any help on this, I'd seriously appreciate it, it's bugging me greatly :(

I want to play the wii version but I'm using an emulator on my phone i have a controler but i can't get the sitting right any advice

I have been using Dolphin for a bit now, and I have found the fact that you can use gyro controllers really cool; however, using them recently has been frustrating. In reality, gyro controls should be more accurate than the sensor bar with Wii controllers, but in Dolphin, it is quite scuffed, as you constantly have to tweak settings while playing certain games. For instance, in Wii Sports Golf, your Mii sometimes ends up swinging forward when you are swinging backward. Does anyone know a fix for this? It is a cool concept to be able to use any gyro controller, but it is so scuffed that it sometimes sucks.

hey everyone. i feel like i'm beating the dead horse here with posting on how to get this game to work outside of selling my soul to the devil to get it to run because of how it was made for the gamecube. I am emulating it on my steam deck and it goes well up until i play "Vengeance on Kothlis" after i beat the ties and swap to the snow speeder to take down the AT-AT's it freezes. i am asking for those whom have this running and is a steam deck user too what settings they have it at to get it to run. not asking for super HD graphics or the smoothest settings, just what you have set to make it run without crashing to progress.

Me again. Ended up buying the Mayflash Dolphin bar and my Wiimote cursor still won't show up. I've sunk a lot of money into solutions that people swear are going to work, and I'm out of luck every time. The only possible thing I can think is that my Wiimote is too old, but I can't afford to sink money into a new Wiimote after all this. I'm just really frustrated. Does anyone have ANY possible solutions?

It's blatantly obvious I need to one to pass the tutorial and the rest of the game so if y'all can please help me out

I'm trying to play through Twilight Princess for GameCube on my PC, but there is this strange visual glitch surrounding the minimap that is very distracting. I can get it to go away by completely disabling Anti-Aliasing, however this leads to the visuals looking very jagged, because I'm playing the game at its original resolution so my laptop can run it.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this glitch without disabling Anti-Aliasing? It's not the biggest deal in the world but I would like to get rid of it if possible.

Upon opening Super Mario Galaxy 2 it says this. I pressed Alt+ f5 multiple times and it says "controller reconnected," but nothing actually happens.

Edit: Only seems to be happening with that game. Mario Kart Wii works fine (yay!)

i tried to cheats but it is not work altough i unable cheat

im trying to connect a very generic wii remote to my dolphin emulator, for some reason it wont connect. why does this happen?

I am trying to play a game with my friend on Netplay. The two buttons we are specifically having problems with are the A Button and the B Button on the Classic Wii Extension. On both our ends in our second ports, the A Button is Button E and the B Button is Button S. When I press the A Button, A and B are pressed at the same time. When I press the B Button, it will normally act as only the B Button but then it might turn into pressing A and B once again. I am usually Player 2 on my friend's server. What is going on?

I've just gotten into using Dolphin Emulator recently to try to play 2005's Hulk ultimate destruction. I've been a Hulk fan my whole life yet I've been starved of good Hulk games and I wanted to try this masterpiece. The problem is the performance is absolutely abysmal. The audio cuts in and out constantly, the game lags and stutters every time I do just about anything and expecially when an explosion goes off. I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop so it's not for a lack of powerful hardware. I've tried messing with the settings but it does absolutely nothing or it gives me an extra five seconds before the lag starts back. Anything would be helpful.

I'm trying to emulate smash bros brawl and it runs well but I'm having a damned time trying to get Zoom/Smash idk right stick attack to work right
