Title: Dolphin Emulator on MacOS
Post by: alert on May 04, 2017, 03:52:01 PM

Has anyone had luck with the Dolphin emulator? (not the RetroArch core). I have the executable working but MacOS does not move focus to the Dolphin.app from Attract Mode.

When I use the following command in Terminal it works perfect.

open -a /Applications/Dolphin.app/Contents/MacOS/Dolphin -b -e /Users/allanrutter/Downloads/Metroid\ Prime\ 2\ -\ Echoes\ \(Europe\)\ \(En\,Fr\,De\,Es\,It\).iso

when I do not include the open -a it has the same issue with moving focus to the Dolphin.app.  I have tried add open -a to the executable in AM and the game will not launch.

Does anyone have an idea on how to address this?

In Dolphin Emulator, change the following settings;
- Launch Dolphin, in Options>Hotkey Settings, select your controller under “Device” then map the Exit Key, (right analog stick button works well)
- In Options/Graphics Settings, tick Use Full Screen, tick V-Sync only if you have a low end or onboard GPU to reduce tearing.
- In Dolphin/Configure/Interface, untick Confirm on Stop
- In Options>Controller Settings, configure the Gamecube & Wiimotes controls.
- Tips; google the controller to see its layout, with the Wiimote, configure the nunchuck stick with the left analog stick on your controller, tick Sideways Wiimote

Hope this helps

Remove the “-b” in command arguments

In Dolphin you need to do a few things

1. Launch Dolphin, in Options>Hotkey Settings, select your controller under “Device” then map the Exit Key, (right analog stick button works well)
2. In Options/Graphics Settings, tick Use Full Screens, tick V-Sync only if you have a low end or onboard GPU to reduce tearing.
3. In Dolphin/Configure/Interface, untick Confirm on Stop (Very Important

Happy days
