Android Usage Guide

[Sonicadvance1]

Here is a getting started guide for running Dolphin Mobile on your devices.

Step 1) Run it.



Step 2) Add directories for scanning.
Use the side navigation drawer and select "Browser Folder."
You can get to it by swiping from left to right on the left edge of the screen, or(in 0.4) by hitting the menu or back keys.



Step 3) Add the folder containing your ISOs/Homebrew games.
The folder browser will show the files that will show up.
Use the menu button to bring up a sub menu to select the folder.



Step 4) Select the game from the game list to run it.



Step 5) It may run!



FAQ

What file types are supported?
- GCM, ISO, GCZ, WBFS, DOL, ELF, DFF

Why don't you support zip files?
- The same reason why desktop Dolphin doesn't support games in zip files. Zip files don't allow random file access, which is required. Use GCZ or WBFS if you want to use a compressed format.

It just crashes on my phone, what's wrong?
- If you have 512MB/1GB of RAM in your phone, it may or may not work. Depending on game it may just crash, this could be a problem with either the phone not being capable of running the game, or potentially the video software backend crashing out.

Odd. I just tested it and it works fine for me in all browsers: Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Just checked. They work on desktop, but not my phone or my tablet. Also, whats the latest on the GLES 3.0 thing? I dont use IRC so I rely on your forum posts for updates

[Shonumi]

Alright peeps, no more complaining about images :p

I haven't been on IRC in a while myself, but you can always check out the latest changes on various branches here. I think the code for getting Dolphin on Android to use GLES 3.0 properly is still a WIP, so you'll have to be patient.

This is very exciting stuff. Any word on when the full controller mapping will be implemented?
