eneble hotkey on dolphin-emu-nogui

[dan81]

hi,
thanks for your work

please can you enable hotkey on dolphin-emu-nogui ?

i'm try to integrate dolphin on EmulationStation on my raspberry pi 4.

i can play whit games ... but i can't exit .

i have try whit "dolphin-emu -b -r romPath" too .
game start. hotkeys works fine , but in EmulationStation the joypad doesn't work.

this command line "dolphin-emu -b -r romPath" works well on pixel , desktop environment of raspberryPi , but doesn't work on emulation station.

this command "dolphin-emu-nogui romPath" works fine but hotkeys doesnt work

this is a video test on my raspberry , sorry for poor quality video https://youtu.be/zpBo0iGzfWs

"update": option for disable screensaver on wii emulation doesn't work in dolphin-emu-nogui on emulation station. i set option from dolphin-emu. this is "a nice to have" function for nogui emu

thanks
Daniele

Please help me fix this bug

if you want suggest some solution to shutdown the emulator on ES

here you can find the steps to run dolphin on pi4


Dolphin on EmulationStation – Retropie
ARM_64bit
Frist of all set arm_64bit to 1 in
/boot/config.txt
arm_64bit=1
If you don’t find arm_64bit on your config.txt , you must update your distribution
After this you mast reboot.
Chroot
To install chroot and dolphin dependency follow this instruction https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=250090
From the previous url :

sudo apt-get install -y debootstrap schroot
cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/schroot/chroot.d/pi64 >/dev/null
[pi64]
description=Debian Buster arm64
type=directory
directory=/srv/chroot/pi64
users=pi
root-groups=root
profile=desktop
personality=linux
preserve-environment=true
EOF
sudo debootstrap --arch=arm64 buster /srv/chroot/pi64
sudo schroot -c pi64 -- apt-get install -y sudo curl mesa-utils xz-utils libqt5widgets5 libevdev2 libudev1 libasound2 libbluetooth3 libopengl0 libglu1-mesa
now you have 64 bit user :
schroot -c pi64
sudo chmod a+w /dev/shm

Compile Dolphin-emu (from github)
1. mkdir dolphin-emu
2. cd dolphin-emu
3. git clone https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin .
4. Wait for the checkout to finish
5. mkdir build && cd build
6. cmake .. -DLINUX_LOCAL_DEV=true
7. make
8. cp -r ../Data/Sys/ Binaries/
9. touch Binaries/portable.txt
in /home/pi/doplphin-emu/build/binaries/User/Config/GFX.ini
set: PreferGLES = True
Run dolphin on Pixel
To run dolphin on pixel run : /home/pi/doplphin-emu/build/binaries/dolphin-emu
Or if you prefer launch this script. This script can launch dolphin from normal pi user
#!/bin/bash
sudo schroot -c pi64 -- sh -c 'sudo chmod a+w /dev/shm ;
/home/pi/dolphin-emu/Build/Binaries/dolphin-emu;'

Add GC and WII to EmulationStation
In /opt/retropie/configs add folder wii
In wii create new file emulators.cfg
in emulators.cfg write :
wiigui="XINITudo schroot -c pi64 -- sh -c 'sudo chmod a+w /dev/shm ; /home/pi/dolphin-emu/Build/Binaries/dolphin-emu -b -e %ROM%;'"
wii="XINITudo schroot -c pi64 -- sh -c 'sudo chmod a+w /dev/shm ; /home/pi/dolphin-emu/Build/Binaries/dolphin-emu-nogui %ROM%;'"
default = "wii"

In /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
Add
<name>gamecube</name>
<fullname>game cube</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gamecube</path>
<extension>.ISO .iso</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ wii %ROM%</command>
<platform>gc</platform>
<theme>gc</theme>
</system>
<system>
<name>wii</name>
<fullname>wii</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/wii</path>
<extension>.ISO .iso .wbfs .WBFS</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ wii %ROM%</command>
<platform>wii</platform>
<theme>wii</theme>
</system>

After reboot you can see gc and wii in EmulationStatio (ES) .
At first time , after you launching rom press A to set for dolphin 480p resolution
Know Issue for this solution
At this moment you can run rom but hotkeys does not work with dolphin-emu-nogui
To close emu I use ssh console with command sudo pkill –f dolphin-emu-nogui
You can try to run emulator with gui , But in ES pad doesn’t work
dolphin-emu-nogui can’t disable screensaver on ES for wii rom
Overclok your pi
This is my configuration in /boot/config.txt :
over_voltage=6
arm_freq=2000
gpu_freq=700
