Arcade Triforce Setup Guide

[JAKAMY]

This is how I setup the Sega/Nintendo/Namco Triforce Arcade which uses the GameCube hardware:
Required Emu: latest know version (March 2023): Archive "Dolphin Triforce builds by Crediar" version dolphin_tri_x64_15_03_2023.rar 
Required Latest Triforce bios v3 needed for one of the soccer games: online "Triforce_Firm_v3.12_TYPE3_ONLY.BIN"
Required Roms: need to be the .iso versions not Mame bins/chds: Archive "Triforce iso"

I also attached the patches/Geeko codes for each game beside Kart version C since E/D are patched to work.
Launchbox emu setting uses"-b -C Dolphin.Interface.ConfirmStop=False -C Dolphin.Display.Fullscreen=True -e"

Now the secret sauce is done on Dolphin Triforce branch:

• 1st setup your GC controller. make sure to set the servive button Z to something like L thumb click and same for test button to fit your controller
  • After change standard controler to Triforce  AM Baseboard for port 1 and 2
  • 
• 2nd setup iso path
  • 
• 3rd set game cube settings as follow
  • SlotA mem card
  • Sp1 triforce am baseboard
  • Bios: Triforce v3
  • 
• 4th Enable if needed all assigned patches for each game and each geeko codes
  • 
  • 
• 5th test each game 🙂

Games works perfectly and I don't have any slow downs with the Geeko patches and all motor check, boot checks are bypassed.
On Kart gp sometimes the aspect ratio jumps rarely in gameplay between 16/9 to 4/3. I forced 4/3 in the vulkan graphic settings

Thanks for the guide. I was only interested in setting up MK GP 2 out of curiousity. A few steps are missing though: Your controller needs to be setup BEFORE changing it to Triforce AM Baseboard. I've also needed to add these configs for Mario Kart GP 2 for example:

Some of these cheats make the game crash. Here is a video that helped a lot to figure it out:

On MK GP 2 I have the "random stretching" issues on forced 4:3 as well, no idea how to fix this.
