Dolphin is an emulator of Game Cube and Nintendo Wii that besides the PC is also available on Android. With the advancement of mobile devices, it is now possible to emulate several old mobile games, including Resident Evil 4. Here’s how to set up the Dolphin emulator to get the best performance and leave many games at 30fps or more with normal audio. Remember that for Game Cube emulator and Nintendo Wii on Android you need to have a powerful and updated device. The Android 7.0 Nougat is essential for emulation. We will not post game links because you need to have the game on physical media to be able to emulate it. The advancement of Game Cube and Nintendo Wii emulation on Android The Dolphin emulator has undergone many improvements in a short time. Although audio is still a problem, it is now possible to play at 30fps in most games. Games like Resident Evil 4 run with ease on devices like Lenovo ZUK Z2, Leeco Le Max 2, Galaxy S7 and the like. This breakthrough is due to new configuration modes and to Android 7.0. But mainly to the abandonment of the support of the 32 bits. With the 64-bit focus, the leap was huge and the people who collaborate with Dolphin are already starting testing with the Vulkan (experimental) API, which promises to make the emulator even faster. – Better setting to run games over 30fps We will show here two types of configuration to be performed in Dolphin. The first one is through the emulator’s own interface. Dolphin already comes with a good default setting, but you can optimize more. Go to the chip icon in the upper right corner and confirm that the following options are selected: Step 1.
Touch CPU and confirm that you are in JIT ARM64 Recompiler. Dual Core marked. Override Emulated CPU Clock Speed dialed. Emulated CPI Clock Speed 40% (if you can not get 40% accurate do not worry, we can configure this again via text).
Leave the rest as is. Touch save (a floppy disk icon at the top of the screen).
Dolphin has two performance related configuration windows: Dolphin configuration and Graphics settings, in addition to applying settings per game via their GameINI. Dolphin is a very demanding program, so configuring Dolphin the right way is very important to run titles smoothly.
Back in the Dolphin splash screen, go to a graphical (landscape) icon to configure the graphics specifications of the emulator. Tap Visual Backend and confirm that it is in OpenGL. Do not try Vulkan. This option is currently experimental. The Show FPS option is at your discretion, it shows how many frames per second the emulator makes in each game, in real time. Here begins the configuration of truth. Leave everything to a minimum as the pictures are low. Internal Resolution 1x native (640 × 528). Full-scene Anti-aliasing 1x. Anisotropic Filtering 1x.
Scaled EFB Copy Leave unchecked. Per-Pixel Lighting Leave unchecked. Force Texture Filtering Leave unchecked. Disable Fog unchecked. (It works in some games and others do not, this option disables the fog). Touch the save (floppy) icon.
Hacks It’s time for the Hacks. These options make it possible to improve the performance of the emulator. They may leave the audio more broken, but it greatly improves the performance of the game visually. Check the “Skip EFB Access from CPU”, “Ignore Form Changes” options. Leave “Store EFB Copies to Textyre Only” unselected (This option must be tested game by game). Confirm that “Texture Cache Accuracy” is set to Low Step 15. The GPU Texture Decoding option should be tested game by game. Confirm External Frame Buffer is Disabled Step 17.
Check the Depth Calculation option Step 18. Finally choose the aspect of the screen. Here’s to taste, but for maximum performance leave in Force 4: 3.
Finish tapping save (floppy disk icon) These were the ready settings to let your Dolphin round. If you are still experiencing many problems to start the games, we will now move to hardcore mode, where we will configure the emulator on the nail, or rather, directly in your INI configuration file. Text-based configuration for maximum performance of the Dolphin emulator For this special setup, you will need an explorer and file editor, choose one of your preference. For this tutorial we will use the popular ES Explorer. You must have opened the emulator and tested at least one game on it. Do this and then make sure the emulator is closed. Open ES Explorer Step 2. Locate the grazing “Dolphin-emu” (It usually stays in the root, but may vary depending on your device). Within Dolphin-Emu, go to Config and then tap the Dolphin.ini file. Choose the ES Note Editor option. With the file open, touch the edit button. Here it is necessary to do exactly what is quoted, putting the numbers and letters exactly as described.
Locate the line “Emulation Speed = 1.0” and change the 1.0 by 9.0. Locate “EnableCheats = False” and change False to True (be careful with the shell). Locate Frameskip = 0x0000000 and change the 0x0000000 to 0x99999999. Locate Overclock = 1.0 and switch 1.0 by 0.40 Step 9. Just below this line is OverClockEnablet = False, change False to True. Locate SyncGPUMaxDistance = 200000, swap 200000 for 220000. Just below is SyncGPUMinDistance = -200000, switch -200000 to -220000.
Below is SyncGPUOverClock = 1.0, change 1.0 by 2.5. Finish on the Save icon Video with the configuration step by step: And at the moment these are the settings to improve the performance of the Dolphin Emulator. This tutorial was made in the development version 5.0. As the emulator progresses, let’s update the post. Also See: See More At.
Guide: Basic Keyboard Controls Setup For Dolphin by Adeno Greetings everyone! This guide is for everyone, especially the new gamers who just discovered the wonders of the Dolphin emulator, who just feel a little intimidated or has no idea how to configure the keyboard in order to play Wii games on the Dolphin properly. Why use the keyboard when you can simply connect the real Wii controller to your computer and use it on Dolphin or even one of those generic gaming controllers? The answer varies from person to person. Some get physically tired easily when using a real Wii controller. Others might have some technical problems making the real thing work, preventing them from making use of this feature.
In other words, no matter the situation, knowing how to set up the keyboard to use it as the main controller for Dolphin is beneficial to all gamers who simply want to enjoy some time with their favorite games. As of this writing, we'll be using the 'Dolphin Wiimote New Incomplete' plugin as the basic model for setting up our controls on the keyboard because for a lot of people currently, the normal 'PluginWiimote.dll' doesn't seem to work with the most recent of Dolphin SVNs (5942 and above), especially for Windows XP users. At least, the 'Dolphin Wiimote New Incomplete' plugin seems to work for most people. The basic principle of the keyboard set up we'll be using here should also be applicable to other plugins. Configuring The Keyboard: 1. Start the Dolphin emulator. Click Options.
Click Configure. Click the Plugins tab. Under Wiimote, choose Dolphin Wiimote New Incomplete.
Click Config. On the right side of Dolphin Wiimote New Incomplete. The Dolphin Wiimote Configuration window shows up.
Under Input Source, choose Emulated Wiimote. Under Emulated Wiimote, click Configure. Follow the configuration as shown in the pictures below. Dolphin Emulated Wiimote Configuration Window: This is where you configure the main Wii controller. Our aim is to configure it in such a way that it will work along with the nunchuk while being as accessible to your fingers like a generic controller on the keyboard. The settings here will be in harmony with the nunchuk's configuration, so don't worry if it looks weird at first. Your left hand's index finger should be placed on the F key.

Your left hand will be pressing keys near the F key which corresponds to the buttons used by both the Wii controller and the nunchuk, while the analog sticks and the directional pad will be handled by your right hand. Your right hand will normally be on the NumKey Pad. The directional arrow keys are normally used to move the camera around in most games, while the numkeys (5 up, 2 down, 1 left, 3 right) are used to move. Swinging movements are set as well (/ swing up, 8 swing down, 7 swing left, 9 swing right). Extension: On the right area of the configuration window is the Extension list. It shows other Wii controller devices that can be emulated. There are currently four different extensions that we can use: - Nunchuk - Classic (this is actually a generic controller) - Guitar (for those music games) - Drums (for those music games) We will be configuring both the Nunchuck and Classic extensions since they are the most commonly used in games.
The Guitar and Drums extensions are rarely used so we won't touch those for now. You can easily configure them anyway since they are not too complicated. The classic controller extension works extremely well in most games, sometimes even better! For example, in a boxing game called Victorious Boxers Revolution, if you use the normal wii controller with the nunchuk, you will be required to actually do a lot of mouse movements while pressing buttons just to throw a punch.
This might sound ok or fun if you have a real wii controller and nunchuk, but they are very hard to pull off on the emulated version. This is where choosing the classic extension shines. If you choose classic extension for Victorious Boxers Revolution, you will only need to press buttons to actually throw punches, dodge punches, and move around the ring. Suddenly, there are no complicated controls! Game Example: 1.
Disaster - Day of Crisis We pick this game to be our example for the simple fact that it uses almost everything the Wii controller and the nunchuk has to offer. In this game, you have to ROLL the controller to open doors, you have to SWING the controllers or even shake them to rescue people or escape calamity. It also makes use of typical adventure game controls. Hey, it even has it's own First Person Shooter mode from time to time which makes use of your mouse to point to the bad guys and shoot! Oh yeah, it also has a Driving Mode where you use only two buttons to accelerate or decelerate, and two buttons to turn left or right. In other words, this game is the total package and if you know how to play this on a keyboard, you won't have problems with other games.
Movement: Numkeys 5 - move forward 2 - move backward 1 - move left 3 - move right Camera: Up, Down, Left, Right - move camera view. Action: F key - Jump. D key - Run faster.
R key - Reset camera behind character. E key - Search the area for victims. Q, W, or Y keys - Shake fire off, only when on fire. Q, W, or Y keys - Press repeatedly when in front of breakable objects to perform an attack to break them. Q, W, or Y keys - Press repeatedly during quick time events to run away from disaster. Opening Doors (Simulated Roll Movement): Hold G key for 1 second (or half a second) then press S or A key while still holding the G key - Open Door. Opening a door in this game requires you to 'Roll' the Wii controller.
Unfortunately, there is no automatic roll function in the 'Dolphin Wiimote New Incomplete' plugin unlike with the old PluginWiimote.dll. The timing is important or this simulated 'roll' move won't work. First Person Shooting Mode: Mouse - move mouse on screen to move pointer. D key - shoot. E key - hide behind cover. R key - concentrate.
Q, W, or Y key - reload. Up, Down, Left, Right keys - change weapon. Driving Mode: X key - accelerate.
Z key - decelerate/reverse. T key - move left. G key - move right. Rescuing People: In this game, there are different ways to rescue the victims of natural disasters.

Sometimes, you need to clean their wounds and then bandage them up, other times you need to perform CPR on them. In some cases, you need to rescue them before they fall. Grabbing Someone: People hanging from a ledge need to be saved! They will try to reach out to you and you have to grab their hand at the right time.
You have to know where they are in relation to you. Sometimes they're on your left, sometimes on your right. Let's take the first victim hanging from a ledge as an example.
A shootout occurs in a building and the guy somehow gets thrown out the window but manages to hang on to a ledge. Upon talking to him, he'll try to reach out to you. He is on your LEFT side.
Since he is on your left side, you have to 'TILT' the controller to the left and then shake it. So how do you do it with a keyboard? Hold A key - the A key is our 'tilt to the left' key.
Since the guy on the ledge is on your left, we hold the A key down. If the guy you need to rescue is on your right side, then you have to hold the S key because that's our 'tilt to the right' key. Press Q key - this key is used to shake the controller. Just press this while holding down the A key when you know the victim is about to reach out for your hand. Bandaging: Mouse - move the mouse around to point at wounds. D key - clean wound by shooting water.
Repeat Numkeys 5, 3, 2, 1 in a Quick Cycle - in order to apply bandage to a victim, repeatedly press the numkeys 5, 3, 2, 1 quickly while pointing your mouse on the wound. The circle will become smaller and smaller until you succeed. Lifting People or Objects: Unfortunately, pulling up or lifting objects to save people doesn't seem to work on the 'Dolphin Wiimote New Incomplete'. In the old PluginWiimote.dll, all you had to do to lift something or someone up was press T and / (on the numpad) keys at the same time. I still haven't found a way to do it in this new incomplete plugin. Anyway, I hope that this little guide I wrote would help people who want to enjoy their Wii games on the pc while just using a keyboard. Always remember that the best configuration is always the one you're comfortable with!
