Wayne100 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi all, has anybody had any experiance with the new(ish) Dolphin Retroarch core? Just trying to setup a few Gamecube games, but all I seem to get is a blank screen, with the game music playing? Wanted to really use the Retroarch core if possible, instead of running Dolphin as an emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The Retroarch core for Dolphin is still extremely early in development and not usable yet. As for when it will become usable and to what level is any ones guess but my money won't be on it being close to the stand alone anytime soon. Who knows though, maybe the Retroarch devs will surprise me and make it really awesome quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne100 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 That's a shame - really wanted to try and keep as many platforms as possible with Retroarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne100 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Yeah, there's no rush to be honest. Will install the Dolphin emulator later and have a play around with that, might even put a few Wii in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enverex Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Just a heads up, it's not a real core, it's just a wrapper for Dolphin so I'd very much advise against trying to get it to work right now as there really isn't much point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just here to clear of the misinformation. You are probably thinking of the "Libretro-Dolphin-launcher". But Dolphin has actually been ported over and is a real core. Links for reference. Libretro-Retro-launcher (Wrapper) People in the libretro forum talking about compiling the newish Dolphin core.

Enverex Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Oh, that's new. I didn't realise they'd reached that point yet. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakuzaLord Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Heres a small video I made of it working :} Cheers As for OP youre better off still using Dolphin the meulate GC/Wii games for now until the core in RetroArch is more stable.

zetec-s-joe Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 How did you get it to work? The black screen has been put into place by the team just while they are testing, hit the windows key and you will see gameplay working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MucLuto Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Hi, Used to have this trouble of blank screen while launching dolphin on retroarch. Choosing the following settings in the retroarch menu fixed it for me : Settings -> User Interface -> Show advanced settings -> "on" Settings -> Core -> Enable Hardware Shared Context -> "on" Works fine on Retroarch 1.5 and 1.6 Cheers Edited June 12, 2017 by MucLuto Wrong setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne100 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Hmmm, think I will give this another go later - getting bored of going through PS2 ISO's now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
