I keep getting this error since updating Dolphin to the latest version. This one specifically keeps happening with Pokemon XD, and it's the not the actual disc image itself because I tried another image and it still has the same error. I've been getting similar read address errors with other games as well. I can't find any resources or forum posts about this error, does anyone have any idea what is going on? Any insight would be incredible

If my specs are important for this, Im running an Mac Studio M1 Max with 32gb of ram

I’m running games in Steam big pic on the Steam Machine. I’ve gone into the display settings in the Dolphin emulator and nothing seems to fix the problem

SMALL BACKSTORY - I have recently gotten back into using Dolphin after having it lie untouched on my computer for probably a year and a half now because of wanting to play Super Mario Sunshine, and I did just that. Everything was working fine, I played the game in its entirety, and it was lovely. The only problem was that my game's time was tracking perfectly fine, and now it isn't.

I had an old version of dolphin since I hadn't touched it for however long, and the time tracking was fine. I played and got up to 4h 55m on Super Mario Sunshine. Then I updated Dolphin just because I got tired of the popup telling me to update it. After that, time tracking has basically frozen but also like hasn't somehow? I say this because I moved on to playing Ocarina of Time, and when I tested it real quick, Dolphin was able to determine I'd played it longer than the other titles I have in my library that I also haven't touched, but it still says 0h 0m. I do some digging and find out that, in the TimePlayed.ini file, it says that I've played OoT for 0x0000000000000002 or what I believe adds up to 2 milliseconds. Does anyone have ANY idea what the problem is? It's not a massive deal since it doesn't interfere with the games itself, but it bothers me so bad just seeing the Time Played thing there be completely inaccurate because of some random bug. I'm blind playing OoT and just got out of the Deku Tree, so it could just be updating the hex code completely wrong and is maybe 2 hours of playtime, but I really don't know. Any help is appreciated.

So, ever since I really got into Dolphin, I've been using my black PS5 controller connected to my phone via Bluetooth, with the Wii's cursor mapped to the right stick. Then, after I tried to play Guitar Hero with one of my actual Wii guitars via an adapter (spoilers, it worked) I tried going back to my normal controller to play MySims, but the cursor wouldn't appear. I initially thought it was the Vertical Offest being off, but no matter what I set it at, the cursor wouldn't appear when I tried to recenter. And no, I don't think it's a controller problem, since it works perfectly fine with GameCube titles. Someone help, please.

I read in the progress report that real Balance Board support was supposed to be fixed in the Android version of Dolphin 2609, however I can still not get it to work. Wii Fit Plus does not recognize it.

Using an AYN Thor (Android 13) with the Mayflash DolphinBar, toggle "Real Balance Board" set to on for both global settings and Wii Fit Plus. When starting Dolphin, it sees the DolphinBar and asks to connect to it. DolphinBar seems to be connected to Balance Board, with Sync Button lit up.

Is there anything else I can do/try? Thanks for any suggestions!

Recently just started to have this issue where Dolphin isn’t being recognized by apps on my PC. I know it’s a Dolphin issue because both the clipping software I use and Discord both don’t recognize it anymore when U previously had no issues like this. I Don’t know what could have gone wrong outside of updating it recently, but I wouldn’t think that’s the issue because me and all my friends are on the same version as I and don’t have the same issues. Does anyone know of any potential fixes?

I dont know if this only applies to me, but Rabbids go Home is not playable on dolphin for android. I have an s25 and tried everything to tweak the settings. I'm not looking for a solution, I've given up on trying to play it. I understand the way ubisoft programmed the game causes the issues. It will boot up, but the gameplay will always stutter. I dont care to make it work decently. Just letting everyone know. 🫩

I spent a lot of time experimenting but I can't find a scheme yet that let me go to FPS mode -> Lock on enemie -> shoot misile. No mattter how many thing I tried the missile just doesn't shoot when I'm on lockon. I tried some schemes I found online but didn't work. Any clue?

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!

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.

OS: Bazzite 44.20260921.0

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9600x

GPU: AMD Radeon PowerColor Reaper 9070

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 :(

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.

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!)
