    "RetroArch is a needlessly complicated front end to configure" THANK YOU! THIS. I have made mutiple attempts to get that thing working and it just simply never configures right and turns the goal of playing games into a nightmare trying to figure out why it won't work. I'm not a newbie. I was running MAME and other stuff from CLI more than 20 years ago, when just getting Pacman to work was an accomplishment. But it worked better than this modern frontend. I'm convinced it was designed by someone who loves the BMW interface. No thanks. I just want to play some games.

      I am not saying it won't work, I am just throwing something to think about why it might not be possible. Especially because you can install apps on PC with root rights and do what you want, while in Retail mode the installation and system access of Xbox apps is limited.

All axis for shake on both the Wii more and nunchuck to the triggers, and tie the swing motion to the right stick. A and b to the bumpers, and c z and 1 and 2 to the face buttons. It can be a bit tricky at first but it’s definitely playable.

Hopefully this stand alone Dolphin emulator fixes that problem, cause i did have a great time playing Wind Waker on the Xbox

    • @mimi8505
      @mimi8505 Рік тому +3

      The Pictobox requires efb2ram instead of efb2texture only or however the settings are called these days. And it needs cpu efb access. If any of those 2 settings is wrong, the game crashes when you try to use the Pictobox. On regular Dolphin, there are game specific ini files provided that automatically enable those 2 features for the game. It's possible that RetroArch doesn't ship with those files, maybe even intentionally, because those 2 settings might cost you 50% of the performance in this game.
      The performance loss is likely not an issue on a series s, but one a xbox one x, the game might even be playable with the hacks, but certainly not with them disabled.
      Protip: If this works, create yourself a hotkey that switches those 2 settings, because switching them on the fly should be stable. Well, if you switch them before trying to take a picture.
