Games won't boot on certain hardware - cecticles - 12-20-2016
Hi, I have a fork of recalbox with dolphin 5 installed on a USB HDD, so that I can swap between different hardware and boot from bios. This is working great apart from booting gamecube/wii games on my home computer. I have tested dolphin on this swappable drive on two laptops running integrated graphics on i3 and i5 processors and it is working great. But when swapping the drive to my desktop pc with dedicated graphics (GTX 770) and an i5 processor, gamecube/wii games will not boot and I am kicked back into ES. I have tried messing with the dolphin.ini, but no luck as I don't really know how to diagnose the problem.
can anyone direct me to finding the problem or towards a fix?

Start with putting a portable.txt in the same spot as dolphin.exe. This makes sure it isn't your settings
