Wii and Wiiware games show up but not Gamecube titles?

[udance4ever]

hi! first post here so be easy on me

Dolphin has given an old broken screen early 2015 Retina MacBook Pro new life.

I have no issues opening up both Wii and Gamecube titles when the machine is booted into macOS 10.12 (Monterey) or into Batocera.linux v35.

I have Elementary OS 6.1 installed (based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) and installed Dolphin using `apt install dolphin-emu`

I add the path to my Wii titles and my Gamecube titles and the net result is only my Wii (and Wiiware) titles show up.

Any clues into why my Gamecube titles are missing from my game list in Ubuntu?

Does the Linux build expect a different format? (I have them in .rvz and they open just fine in macOS and Batocera.linux)

just for the record, I initially got some weird warning (which I don't know how to get back (otherwise I'd paste the screenshot here) - it seems related to parsing the bitmaps used for the banners as they show up w grey boxes) - something along the lines of "it may work here but probably not on Windows" - I dismissed it because I don't own a Windows system and thought I should mention it.

If you're using an old version of Dolphin like 5.0 stable, that's why RVZ doesn't work.

Unfortunately the version of Dolphin that Ubuntu has in its repositories is very old. I don't know about Elemental OS specifically though.

ah - thank you for pointing that out!  I decided to just build from scratch using the instructions here.

I had to make one update to a commend in step 2:

Code:

git submodule update --init --recursive
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^

Afterwards, the build chugged along nicely until I ran into this error:

You should follow this instead: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/wiki/Building-for-Linux

However, Elementary OS 6.1 has the same issues that all Ubuntu 20.04 based systems have, plus some extra issues of its own in order to get PPA's added to do the upgrades.

Here's what you have to do to get all the packages updated to the latest supported versions (qt6, gcc-11 compiler for C++20 support, system packages, etc). You can just copy the whole block

Code:

sudo apt install software-properties-common && \
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test &&\
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:okirby/qt6-backports && \
sudo apt update && \
sudo apt install gcc-11 g++-11 && \
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-11 110 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-11 --slave /usr/bin/gcov gcov /usr/bin/gcov-11 && \
sudo apt install build-essential git cmake ffmpeg libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libevdev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libxrandr-dev libxi-dev libpangocairo-1.0-0 qt6-base-private-dev libbluetooth-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libgl1-mesa-dev

You'll need to clean out your build folder and run cmake again from a blank folder. But then you can run `make -j$(nproc)` and it should compile properly.

thank you @KHg8m3r! that worked great! even the final build/src directory is like 40% smaller (it was like over 2GB before!)

good to know the wiki is source of truth too
