About Dolphin

Dolphin is a free and open-source emulator of Nintendo GameCube, Wii and Triforce that runs on Windows, OS X, Linux, and Android. It was the first emulator to successfully run commercial Nintendo GameCube and Wii games, and is the only emulator capable of running commercial Wii games. Its name refers to the development codename for the GameCube.

Using X.Org / Nouveau drivers is not supported under RetroRig!

Configuration File Locations

The configuraiton files for this component are located at:

/home/your_user/.retrorig/.dolphin-emu/
/home/your_user/.retrorig/.dolphin-emu/Config

Suggested System Requirements

Because both Gamecube and Wii games run under Dolphin, each have different system requirements. Dolphin makes use of two processors if present! Please see the official Dolphin FAQ for a list of the current system requirements.

Games with multiple discs

Games with more than one disc must be swapped with the letter "C" hotkey. This will bring up a file browser window, which unfortunately means you must use a keyboard or mouse to select the second disc. I am doing my best to find a way around this. I understand this goes against my vision of having RetroRig completely gamepad friendly, but it will still allow those 2 disc games to function in ROM Collection browser.

Please bear with me until I seek a solution on this.

SDL Keymap codes

SDL_keysym.h is the SDL keymap file in the Dolphin source code. You can also find a dump of the text here.
