![Play Gamecube Games on Android in 2022 [Dolphin Setup Tutorial]!](/img/n.gif)
People have been asking me to do this for over a year, but the number of versions makes it very annoying to build a guide around. I decided to go all in on this to teach you how to find the best version for your device and how to configure it for the best performance possible. I hope this helps!
Hi Taki, can you please tell me what is the name of that tablet. The link you pasted isn't working on my device.😅
hey taki is there a good guide for emulators in general?
like what you did here...there are so many emulators and settings ...
Thank you for finally making a video like this. A lot of the ones I'm finding. Either lack detail or are over a year old. If you can do one for a PS2, Sega Saturn, and Xbox emulator that would be awesome.
Taki my man you are amazing at what you do tbh i have been waiting for this kind of video for quite some time it really helps man i wish that you stay safe and happy love from Pakistan
Hello sir how much better is drain for 1 hour of dolphin emulter please reply
I'm not a fan of a long videos I find them boring and tideous, that being said this video is very concise and clear despite its length. I'm grateful for your video I went from barely 25 fps 1x resolution to 3x 30fps on skyward sword and you even show the little tweaks that make a world of difference like the wii mote movement threshold. A fantastic and well put video, thank you.
Excellent guide, which is easy to follow and paced in a balanced manner. I like that you are comparing the different versions as well as showing a simple way to not only test for a best version but as a general practice that can be used across the board, determine how a particular device may generally operate for a given system emulation/emulator. Furthermore, it takes some complication away from the plethora of configurations options, focussing on those that will have general use for most.
8:03 Select OPENGL if your CPU is Snapdragon. Select Vulkan if your CPU is Mediatek. Mediatek will drop the dolphin emulator game if it uses OPENGL.
Big thanks Taki as I invested in a decent phone for this but put setting it up off due to no real guide so this video is truly appreciated!
Thank you for this! I've been lazy and never properly performance tested Dolphin Main and MMJR. This got me to do it.
I just searched this exact video figuring you'd already made one a year or 2 ago.
Turns out you posted a few minutes just before I needed it 😆
This is easily the best guide I've seen on this subject
Had Dolphin on my phone for about a month but I couldn't figure out how to play games at a respectable frame rate (my phone is also a budget phone from 2020 so there's that) but after I came upon your guide and followed it, I'm now running those games at about 40 fps (they were in the 20s before) thank you so much for allowing me to relive my childhood ❤️❤️❤️
THIS is the type of thing I’ve been waiting for. I’ve written on some of your videos asking how plug and play these emulation devices are with GameCube or ps2, and/or how much tinkering it required to get it to the state it is in the video. The tinkering process feels trivial after you’ve done it 20+ times (or much more in Taki’s case) but it can feel a lot more intimidating to a beginner, so fortunately, now we can lean on this video to get dolphin working well on these devices. THANK YOU!
Thanks for this in depth guide! it really helped me a lot and saved me a lot of time figuring this all on my own
Awesome video !!! Will be using this as a reference for sure . Thank you !!!
I been waiting this for explain on these emulator long time. Thanks you Taki ♥
Awesome step by step guide! Definitely the best Dophin guide in the world at this moment and for a long time to come!
Please do a guide for AetherSX2 as well.
Thanks a lot for this. I was really struggling with getting the Wii motion simulation to work properly. This tutorial is a godsent. Bless ya
I don't even need a tutorial but it's a new taki video so I gotta watch
Please do another one about 3DS! Also mention performance differences between mediatek and snapdragon devices, thanks!
Your content and your quality is Bar None the best thank you for this guide I am immensely grateful I am spreading the word so more people can view your channel And subscribe thank you so much you are incredible and thank you for all your hard work and detailed analysis in every aspect of videos that you do especially quality
Amazing video. Very relevant and helpful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. Very helpful ! TOP MAN 👍🏻🙏🏻👌🏻
Thank you! This is a very detail tutorial!
Thank u for explaining this the way u did u broke down everything so simple and helpful for a new user
I really needed this. Thanks so much!
I just got a Gamevice Flex and my phone is a Xiaomi 12 Pro. This is the perfect video for me. I'm sure it took you a really long time to do, and I'm eternally grateful. I'm already subbed and will continue to follow you!
Wow! Thank you so much! Before I couldn't run Super Smash Bros Brawl very well on the Retroid Launcher. I kept getting these error messages and error codes, and the game would crash. But now that I did some testing on the MMJR and MMJR2 apps, I got to play the game on classic mode all the way through and got Luigi as my first unlockable character. And the best part is that my game progress saved. Now I should go see if my games can run the same in .RVZ format.
GReat tutorial! Emulation on Android has come a long way, I just don't like of how hard it is to sinc saves on the cloud (that's why I play emulators from PS2 up on Windows only)
This guide is absolutely amazing! You showed me what I need to know to get Wind Waker to work on My Realme GT Neo 2. Liked and subscribed, totally deserved
@Juca M Im an old over 60 buck here wondering if you think its possible for me to play Wind Waker and Rogue Squadron II on my Android 10 Sony Bravia TV using a wireless PS4 controller ? *HAPPY NEW YEAR* ;)
@@markhamilton3215 Hey, happy new year to you too!! Sorry, I am afraid I can't help you, I have no clue about how to make it work :(
Great guide. Thank you very much for it
Finally, thank you! Can you also possibly do this for PS2, PS3, and even Dreamcast emulators?
Excellent guide. I am having trouble with F-Zero though on Snapdragon 855. No matter what settings I've tried, can't get 60fps out of it 🤔
Awesome content!! Thanks for this!
Thank you very much! It would have been nice for a device specific tutorial, but you have done enough. I learned how to fix Paper Mario from your comments section of all places, and this will greatly help with Retroid Pocket 2+ testing.
Excellent Guide , well explained
great video needed for beginners
Most games worth playing run with issues on SD 870/865
And even then it depends a lot on the phone still. Moto g100 should run great but it has excessively outdated drivers and the software strangles the CPU so it's constantly trying to switch to the low performance cores and stuttering.
Superb content especially dophlin emulator version ❤
Also note that just because a game runs ok in the first minute of gameplay doesn't mean it won't suck as soon as you reach the first dungeon or island or city...
Was about to say this regarding Twilight Princess for Example. On the official dolphin build I get full speed 3x in ordon village but as soon as I enter the forest area (not even the temple) it tanks to only like 40% at 1x. Switched to mmjr 2 and I get 100% at 3x (rarely ever need to go down to 2.5) for the ENTIRE game. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S22 with Snapdragon 8 gen 1 btw
@FlamingFrostbite244 that's the problem I'm having now. Made it to the forest and it lags soooo bad
Such a good guide! I've done a bunch of emulator set up on pc, but Android is still a bit weird to me, very glad I found your video.
Did the Github links work for you? Because it couldn't f ind the page. I'm on a Samsung S23 Ultra btw.
Thank you! This is so nice!
Tank tankssss Taki !!!
Thanks you very much! you help a lot!
Thank you bro!
My galaxy tab s8 and my Note 10+ run games on the dolphin emulator very well, especially with the gamesir x2
I want to try the samsung s7 fe.
One thing i want to say, Open GL & Vulkan varies from different devices, my Phone support Vulkan but my brothers phone support both, Vulkan & Open GL. So check out the settings as per your device.
Nice, I have a SD 720G. I'm stuck using an old build of Dolphin so I can continue to play Phantasy Star Online.
Haven't played my phone in with my controller for awhile a for some reason the controllers will only control the Android interface like selections and exiting for both my XBone and ipega 9076.
I think it might be related updating to Android 11.
Looks like it's a Android 11 problem which sucks since I have a Redmi Note 9S and 11 might be the last update...........
Thks for this video man! Now i understand everything. Now i need is new phone. Because my phone is slow. That's why its can't run auy games other then psp. If i try auy other like ps2 or gamecube or wii most of the game lagging so bad i can't even play
How do I make the emulator read roms and play them?
I downloaded all three, messed w the settings and now im able to run wind waker at 30fps on my dingy old android tablet. mmjr1 is my fav
Super Mario Sunshine plays at average on 20fps in regular Dolphin,while on Dolphin MMJR1 with settings plays with full 30fps. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Official had absolutely the best performance on my OnePlus Nord, amazing.
This guide should be useful for my Odroid N2+.
thank you I'm enjoying gaming now
This setup allows Mario Galaxy to work perfectly fine for the Wii and it also works as you said for Donkey Kong but I can't say the same for Skyward Sword as this setup doesn't allow you to perform the role for some reason
What file types do u use for wii games?
Everything works great except, when configuring my controls, all the buttons work except for the analog sticks and D- Pad. I've tried everything even both Xbox and PS4 controllers. I've downloaded all 3 apps and all gave me the same results. But as far as playing the games, everything works great so .....NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!
I’ll be using this on my Galaxy Tab s8 Ultra. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Should be cake. Thanks for the guide!
Just got my Tab s9 Ultra and I'm looking to do the same thing. Gotta use that raw power somehow.
Thanks man. Have been following your youtube from when i found it wile looking for this kind of stuff.
new red magic here. Seems ok. no SD slot. come on mini nvme would of been sweet. Restarting phone to default will be a pain.
going to try your method in the weekend.
Got the kushi 2. good controller. Xbox series x controller works with cod thou. should get a adapter to hold the phone for it maybe.
Got good settings for f zero? I just looked it up. 300% emulation clock speed in advance. volken, cech setting on, shader compilation skip drawing a bunch of those hacks ticked. Will try yours for the other games if i can scale it bigger. I go for the racing games on the cube. Going to try some wii games like donkey kong. I got the disk for that.
Should i bother with the gamesirx2. I want the layouts. idk if ill be around a computer.
I bought mantas pro. Why do i need to do the bat file again. After I restart. Should i try that panda one? Mantas worked for the most part...
If you have Kishi 2, I wouldn't bother with x2. X2 only has screen mapping software, but I don't like to use it. As for Mantas, I never use it because I typically just go with Flydigi controllers that come with their own solution. You seem to have the correct settings for F-Zero (I talk about the 300% thing at the end of this video in the CPU section).
There is a trick getting kushi working with cod. Connect Xbox or PlayStation controller via Bluetooth. Then the kushi works with cod. Maybe looking for a chip in the controller...
10 year ago I tried overlays there was a method using root. It scared me. Bricked a phone doing it the first time.. lucky they exchanged it for me...
Mantas pro for now. Battery life better these days. Most likely keep the charge. Before recharging. Got a battery pack as well just in case.,.
I still don't get what's the point of root. I don't care for the other apps .. 10 years pass and Android doesn't support multiple apps at once...
Thank you very much.
Thanks for your help. My phone is on the low end
Is it possible to use the Retroid MMJR build on phones? My phone is on the weaker side and seems right on the verge of running a lot of games full speed. I think the sub-native resolution options on the Retroid version would help.
What are the handheld you are using not the controllers but the handhelds
My touch IR Pointer doesn’t have the options his does, I only have Always Recenter, IR Mode, and Double Tap Button. No matter what I try, I can’t get the IR pointer to work with touch or anything really. Any suggestions?
Can this be achieved with RetroArch? Or is it better to use stand alone emulators for GCN and PS2?
So with the recent releases of RP3, RG353, and the slow roll of the Odin Lite... Which is the best bang/buck android based emulator handheld RIGHT NOW? And, if you think something coming in the next 1-2 months might beat that... Just tell me to wait. Thanks for all your content!
Don't forget to include a PS Vita Slim (hacked) in that list of yours.
While some of these are uncomfortable to put into your pocket... Other devices are simply too big to fit and require a backpack to take with you, so you're better off with the Valve SteamDeck instead.
In terms of pocketability, your best option is to buy a Samsung S10+ run a Custom ROM, load it up with a Samsung 512GB microSD card. As for controls, slip it into its special case, so you have rails to attach Razer JungleCat. They're pocketable and do the task. Total costs around $300 or less, but it's much better value than the $150 RP3.
Samsung tablet S8 with extra 1 Terra micro sd is enough
Samsung S10e is cheap nowadays..
Hi,
Could anyone help me, please?
I mapped IR of the Wii Mote to the right stick of my controller (Dualshock 4)
However, the in-game cursor is not moving in any game when I'm using the right stick. The games only recognize the screen touches as IR movement.
How can I change that?
Links for mmj and mmjr seem to be down
Do you think we can get this to run on an aftermarket android head unit
Once Vita is modded...
You can hook it up to a Samsung tab S7 through a dongle with HDMI out to any HDMI input of a tv or monitor... just TH-cam search it...
You'll need a plugin for the vita and a camera app for the tablet... also you can have you DS4 controller connect to the vita at the same time...🤯🧐🤔
I have a A76 cortex
I've played twilight princess and the only buggy and slowed part of the game is the open outside dungeon/town areas and the cut scenes in that areas. Other than this,the game will run smoothly.
I've tried all 3 emulators but none did the job. If there's a solution or something that I'm missing,I'd appreciate it
No gecko codes in my phone now I'm new subscriber
Testing all three on my nvidea sheild and mmrj 1 seemed the best.. but the graphic menu doesnt work so nice on the sheild.
How do you find/copy the saved files on Android devices if I want to reformat or change my phone but want to keep my saved files for future use?
If he did mention this then correct me if i'm wrong, you have to extract your downloaded games so you can get your file type
Are there any extra tips on getting games to stutter less?
someone please help, dolphin just keeps telling me "no compatible files found" I've saved to SD card and direct to the device and nothing seems to work
6 months late and all, but I have a question about the gamecube save card part. How does it work and how can we switch between the two
I play rayman 3 with Oppo A94 games runs well but sometimes little bit fps drop when the scenery is to dense than i got 30 fps and slow crackling sound.
When I try this on my tablet all the game file's are zip and they won't work what can I do?
I have the same issue, other emulators use zip so I don't understand why dolphin doesn't accept zip files
@Joshua Kissner I was able to uses 7zipper to get it to work
What tablet is that that you’re using
Nice
I have everything right but its not letting me transfer the games onto the actual app on my phone i have an A77 i have a wbsf file idk why its not working someone PLS help
K so for pure performance and high resolution its mmjr2 for me, but it also has graphical glitches specifically on luigis face. However mmjr2 on vulkan has absolutely no graphical glitches, but it doesnt run fast on 2x or 1.5x. Idk what to choose.
I like the new logo
I have a Samsung A13. The processor meets the spec requirement. However, it's a 64 bit processor but runs in 32 bit mode. Go figure. Any thoughts? I guess I'm stuck playing dolphin on my laptop.
I am having a hard time getting to run Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii) on my Samsung S21 FE (Exynos 2100) device, on 1x resolution. I'm even using the PAL version which only neeeds to get to 50fps to run at 100% speed. I tried using Vulkan and OpenGL, I don't know which one is better for the Mali GPU. My device runs the game fine up until 5 minutes of gameplay, and then it starts thorttling like hell and it slow downs a LOT, and the device gets pretty hot. I'm watching this video trying to find a solution. Cheers!
Thanks for this video, Taki.. But I'm having some trouble following your settings, I have a 8 Gen+ 1 (Red Magic 7S Pro), but I'm barelly hitting 16fps on Zelda at the same screen presented in your video, TBH I thought that buying the Red Magic, all these emulators would be just plug and play changing only the resolutuin.. but with Dolphin (Official Dev Version) things arent' being good for me :(
Forget about it. I just realized that I wasn't starting the application inside the Game Space Launcher, and my GPU/CPU was in the lowest/mid settings. Now I'm getting 30/60 FPS in all my GC/Wii Games aond only changing the resolution and widescreen settings. Awesome!!!!
How do I get to the folder for the dev build of official? I can't change path and I don't have a folder like mmjr and 2 :( I want to copy my memory card and my texture packs
Whenever I try to connect my Evo gamepad pro 4 to dolphin emulator it doesn't work properly either the app does bind the analogs or the analogs doesn't work in the game , this doesn't happen in my other device how can I fix this issue?
Thanks Bhaijaan 😊😅🫡✌🏼
On mine controllers just don't work for dolphin at all. I can bind buttons all day long but it never reads my inputs for analog sticks
I have an issue where I download the app but the app just closes out as soon as I try to open it. Wondering if you could tell me what's wrong I have a Revvl 6 Android device.
Can you cover how to configure controller ?
thank you so much
Thanks dude.
ive been trying to use MMJR on my retroid pocket 3+ and ive only been having issues. whenever i play gamecube games the perfomance is fine i get solid 30 fps. but sometimes when i go in to play a game it will kick me out of the rom and say its invalid. then sometimes the emulator wont even open?
Is there a bunch of settings that will make rogue squadron 2 and 3 run properly on an s21 5g?
Is a Samsung Galaxy tab A7 10.4 inch tablet a good tablet, I own one and I'm just hoping it will work
As far as I can tell the top menu is either not a thing or just impossible to access on my phone.
I did get dolphin and everything setup but every time I try to load a game, it immediately crashes
For me ita the motion controls, I'm playing Go vacation but the tilt etc is just annoying to try to get right, I'm able to play in the open world but any mini game that requires pointer or some other motions it's hard, how ever also driving things is hard
after downloading the roms, i get 7z file. does it need extracting? Does it work for Iphone?
Why is my controller not working? I have razer kishi v2 it works on my phone. But when I open the game it doesn't register at all.
Why when i click emulated it doesnt take me to the mapping screen. It just goes back.
