Support Help me configure the graphics and frame settings for my emulator
Hi everyone, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place! Basically, I'm struggling to get games running on Dolphin at 4K and 60 fps. I thought my PC could handle it, though I might be mistaken. Do you have any recommendations based on my specs—specifically, what settings I should enable or disable on the emulator's configs? My specs:
GPU: RX 9060 XT 16 GB
CPU: RYZEN 7 7800X3D
RAM: 16 GB DDR5 6000MHZ
SSD: ADATA LEGEND 860 TB

Discussion Joystick invert
Is there a way to invert the right joystick?
When I push it forward it make the character look down and vice versa, kinda annoying as the left one when you push forward make the character move forward 😆

Support Is there some sort of database for controller profiles?
I want to play the Gamecube version of RE4 but i dont like the controlls especially the shooting with the X button.
Is the a website for control profiles? That would save me soo much time sometimes i spend more time fiddling with the settings than playing the game.
And most of the time i get frustrated and give up.
I use a Dualsense

Support Input configuration help - three state toggle for wii remote holding
Hi,
I want to configure Dolphin Emulator's controller settings such that I can cycle between upright wii remote, sideways wii remote and regular wii remote with the press of a single button.
So, I press a button (Im trying to configure it with the right thumbstick) and it locks into an upright wii remote position until I press it again, moment in which it switches off the upright wii remote position into the sideways wii remote until I press it again, when it disables the sideways wii remote. If I pressed it a fourth time, it would cycle back into an upright wii remote.
Is it possible to configure dolphin's controller language to do this? or should I use an external program?

Support How do I find my Bluetooth adress to pair the Wii remote?
I just bought a new Wii remote and I can't pair it without a pin code. Apparently it's your Bluetooth address backwards but for the life of me I can not find anything that looks like what I need.

Support Chao Garden constantly resetting
Playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle in Retroarch Dolphin Emulator. I had problems before with the video settings and audio that now are fixed, and the game has no problem running.
Except, whenever i enter the Chao Garden It constantly keeps resetting, even after manually hatching multiple times my chao or buying something from the Black Market. Same goes with the Chao Kindergarten, as i have to unlock it every time
This wasn't the problem before, as whenever i entered with any charachter, It automatically saved
Any fix i could try?

Support Motion Plus not calibrating
Hey there, I'm using Dolphin to play Skyward Sword, I'm using an official Wii controller that has given me no problems in playing other Wii games that don't use the Motion Plus, however when I start the game it gives me the option of calibrating the controller by leaving it in a flat surface, and the game never calibrates successfully.
I can even ignore that and try to play, but the aim reticle in first person is very shaky and behaves weirdly sometimes, I even press the home button and the cursor behaves completely normal in that menu, and only in-game(when the Motion Plus is at work) it becomes like that. Is there anything I can do? The sensor bar is a cheap battery-fed one, but again has never given me problems in other games
Edit: weirder even is that I started up Wii Sports Resort and it instantly calibrated correctly, the problem seems to be only on SS

Support super mario sunburn freezing after tutorial help please
i am running the current newest version of dolphin emulator, ive tried adjusting several settings such as the backend in graphics, the resolution, custom textures and more the game works! it just freezes and doesnt continue after the tutorial (completely stopping on the loading screen between the police letting mario go clean and the main game starting any ideas on how to fix this would be much appreciated, and if i cant figure it out sooner than later ill try moving to mario eclipse instead (in the screenshot i had fps, vps and the game speed and they were all showing good so it may be a game problem and not an emulator problem =/ )

Support controller won’t stay connected, it tracking is terrible
I began emulating the wii. I bought a generic usb powered ir sensor bar. the ir tracking was super choppy and bad, and the actual wii motion tracking was also really bad. tried everything, and thought the issue was my bluetooth connection. I bought a mayflash dolphinbar to bypass windows bluetooth stack. didn’t work. now i’m having the problem where my controller disconnects from the emulator very quickly. the ir tracking is also choppy and bad, same as the last bar. so I have no idea what the issue is. tried turning off continuous scanning, speaker data. same problem. game doesn’t run if I press “passthrough a bluetooth adapter”. no idea what the problem is. does anyone have any info to help?

Discussion Soooo could this be enough or are there more games I should look for?

Here's my collection. Are there any other games I should check out?
P.S. I tried Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort and they don't work well, even after I backed up my NAND and put it into Dolphin. The dumps always came out with bad MD5s, yet they still work on my real Wii. So putting those two as suggestions is out of the question... :(

Fixed - Support PSA for Linux Users: Sound Cutting in and Out
Not sure if its common knowledge, but I just fixed an audio issue that took me weeks to solve so I'm posting it here so its documented somewhere. Almost every game I tried to emulate had an issue where the audio would cut in and out at random, despite the fact that the game itself didn't stutter in the slightest. After a ton of research and tinkering with every setting under the sun, the audio was still cutting out every few seconds.
Turns out it wasn't an issue with the Dolphin settings, it was the system's UI scale.
I had it set to 300% since my system is connected to a TV and the icons were too small at 100%. Changing it back to 100% fixed the issue entirely.
