# Dolphin
|
|
|
|
[Dolphin](https://dolphin-emu.org/) is a GameCube and Wii
|
|
[emulator](./emulators.md).
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Dolphin can be installed on different systems, a list for this can be found on
|
|
the [Dolphin website](https://dolphin-emu.org/download/).
|
|
Additionally it can be installed using [Flatpak](../linux/flatpak.md) where the
|
|
package is called `org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The following sections describe specific issues relating to the configuration
|
|
and usage of Dolphin.
|
|
|
|
### Steam Deck specific settings
|
|
|
|
The following settings are especially useful when emulating games on the
|
|
[Steam Deck](./steam_deck.md) as pointed out by
|
|
[nchristopher](https://github.com/nchristopher/steamdeck-emulation/blob/main/emulators/dolphin.md).
|
|
But it is a good starting point for other systems aswell.
|
|
It is important to emphasize that the system needs to meet the requirements to
|
|
run Vulkan.
|
|
Select the configuration and select the paths tab.
|
|
There the directories for Wii and GameCube [ROMs](./emulators.md) can be added.
|
|
In the audio tab select `Pulse` as your audio backend.
|
|
In the interface tab select `Confirm to Stop` to avoid prompts when closing the
|
|
game.
|
|
Close the configuration and select the graphics menu.
|
|
Set the backend to Vulkan.
|
|
[Fullscreen Mode](#fullscreen-mode) can be enabled when starting the game too.
|
|
In the enhancements tab select `3x Native` as internal resolution, as it will
|
|
upscale the image to 1080p.
|
|
In the main tab check the `Render to Main Window` box.
|
|
Close the graphics menu and open the controllers menu.
|
|
For the first GameCube controller open the configuration, select
|
|
`SDL/0/Microsoft X-Box 360 Pad 0` as type, clear and change the buttons to your
|
|
preference.
|
|
Select emulate Wii Bluetooth adapter for Wii controllers, alternatively you can
|
|
leave it empty to use the GameCube controller settings.
|
|
For the first Wii controller open the configuration, select
|
|
`SDL/0/Microsoft X-Box 360 Pad 0` as type, clear and change the buttons to your
|
|
preference.
|
|
|
|
### Fullscreen Mode
|
|
|
|
Check the `Start in Fullscreen` box to start games automatically in fullscreen
|
|
mode.
|
|
To exit it use `Esc`.
|
|
|
|
### Running a game without selection in the menu
|
|
|
|
To run a game instantly the path to the [ROM](./emulators.md) needs to be
|
|
appended to the command used for starting Dolphin.
|
|
This should be made in quotation marks as it could contain characters that need
|
|
to be escaped.
