Dolphin on the pi 4?

Thanks for the tips. Do you know of a good converter? This build of Dolphin is 5.0 12369 dirty. I have no idea if that is an official build.

Assuming game path are setup you should be able to right the game and there should be an option to convert. In that menu is where you can convet it to rvz.

Thanks I will try that.

Raspberry Pi 4 is now Vulkan 1.0 conformant: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/vulkan-update-were-conformant/

I've rebuilt and reinstalled Dolphin and Vulkan and tried it out.

I got the same flashing issue along with lower average frame rates as before.

That is a shame.

Given that dolphin is borderline usable on a Pi4 now I was wondering what the RAM requirements for the ARM/Linux version are? What are the minimums/maximums for RAM capacity?

The suggested amount of RAM is 2 GiB or more. (I'm not entirely sure that it's impossible to get Dolphin running on 1 GiB but I wouldn't recommend it.)

Thanks. I assume the whole ROM is not loaded into RAM at the same time so 2GB represents both a minimum and a maximum?

Why would there be a maximum on the amount of RAM in the system? That's silly

Indeed, the whole ROM is not loaded into RAM. There is however one feature that requires you to have enough RAM to fit the input data: custom texture prefetching. But I would assume that custom textures are something you're fine with skipping if you're trying to get Dolphin running on a low-end system.
