TrexThunderX10 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Well, I've relized one thing about emulators and the interfaces we use to make our gaming console PC's as nice as they are. I appologise for what I've said bad about LaunchBox because it's a great frontend that makes our gaming console PC's and our gaming life easier. Well, onto my analysis. The emulator Dolphin, an emulator we all come to love is great for Nintendo GameCube and Nintendo Wii. I steady keep playing it, love the Wii & GameCube. Well, the emulator Dolphin keeps crashing when I go to press my controller's back button. I'm using an Xbox 360 controller for my system. Now I also use a frontend called Playnite to handle all of my PC games. So I love both you guys and Playnite and have added plugins for Kodi which is what my gaming console PC starts off with, I have plugins for both LaunchBox and Playnite. Thanks for reading this for those who follow me and the shit that I say lol well can someone please tell me how to make Dolphin not crash when I press my controller's back button? I'd really appreciate it. Oh and here's something funny, in playnite when I press the back button, Dolphin still crashes lol go figure, that's why I'm not mad at nobody lol y'all take care, God bless!

Lordmonkus Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I just tested it here using the latest official LB and updated Dolphin and Dolphin does not crash at all when pressing the back button on my Xbox One controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrexThunderX10 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 What’s your configuration? Maybe I’m doin somethin wrong. I can admit when I’m wrong. Hook me up with your configuration for launchbox and dolphin, maybe I didn’t setup dolphin right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 My setup is very basic, no third party apps or things like startup videos or anything. It's just LB and Dolphin. Do you have some sort of "close app" AHK script setup for Dolphin in LB ? There shouldn't be one because none is needed, Dolphin uses escape to close out. You say pressing the back button on the controller causes the crash and it happens in Playnite as well, is it only the back button or is it in combination with another button on the controller ? Do you run any 3rd party controller software ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrexThunderX10 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Na, I use the MS Xbox accessory driver for my Xbox 360 controller. I’m dolphin, I have hot keys setup for the controller. Instead of escape key on keyboard to exit a game in dolphin, I have the Xbox back button set up cuz I wanted a gaming console PC and want the keyboard never used during my gaming. It should be half a PC and half console, that’s how I designed my Dell Optiplex 7010 to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'd just run Dolphin on it's own once and see if it has issues closing via the back button without opening through a launcher. Most controller logic isn't handled on the "main thread" that an application close event MUST be called from in most programming languages so if that wasn't done properly in the app it would cause what you're seeing. If both front ends have the same issue I'd assume the binding just isn't being handled properly inside of Dolphin itself. That being said you shouldn't need to change it in Dolphin if you're running it from LaunchBox since the Close Active Window controller binding will close the program for you, or the "Exit AHK Script" that is is fired when selecting "Exit Game" from the Pause Menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
