The wiki generally doesn't know anything about problems that happen on Android but not on PC, which is why games that don't work for you are listed as working. However, if the wiki says that you should use a certain setting for a certain reason, then that very likely applies to Android.


AR codes do work, but there is no GUI for it, so you have to edit the INI files in the GameSettings folder to enter AR codes. Gecko codes should work in the same way, but it seems like they don't work for some reason.


In short: no. It definitely won't fix any lag issues or any sound issues caused by lag. When it comes to other audio problems, it is theoretically possible for it to have an effect, but Dolphin's DSP ROM implementation (and Dolphin's DSP HLE as well) are mature enough that problems of that kind are almost unheard of.


You can extract the NAND on a PC and then copy the extracted NAND to your Android device.


okay, i see, so:

1) if the emu CPU is changed to Lower than 100%, some games will run better?
like crash bandicoot lags alot, so 80% CPU fix should be good to make it playable?

what would be a good cpu range? 35 - 75%?

2) um, since im using two different dolphin versions, and one of them has AR codes, couldn't i just copy/paste the .ini files from one dolphin into another?

so that games lthat need AR codes to work popularly (boot up with video):

Sonic Unleashed
Sonic Black knight
Sonic & the secret Rings

these games work fine in MMJ when you enable AR codes, before that they show black screen, maybe this will make them work in the dev version?

also for the Games that won't boot:


Star fox assault (doesn't boot on CPU JIT ARM64 and exits, but boots on cached interpreter with sound issues however ).
Sonic Heroes
Samurai Jack
Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Askaban

the strange thing is that these games work perfectly fine like normal in nintendodont on my wii, but not
on dolphin (andriod & my windows).

windows im running dolphin 4.0.2 (x86) can't go to 5.0 as that is 64bit saddly.

how can i make these work in the dev version?
i checked the CRC of these and only sonic heroes and Jack didn't match, maybe they don't work becuase they aren't good dumps?

or that they need special settings? Enhancements/hacks/general etc. that are different from the deflaut.

4) um, so if i add my nanad backup to dolphin on andriod, can i boot HBL with it or other HBC apps like nintendodont?

if sure if this would work?

5) um, since my phone has 6gb ram (acually 5.xx gb), how can i free up more ram for dolphin to use if this is possble?

6) does the game turbo app in redmi note VIII pro actually help dolphin? boost in fps and smooth out the games?

7) for playing metriod other m, what contorls must i use? wii + numchuk? i can't seem to move around at all
with the horizontal wii remote setup?  

thanx for the tips and help, JosJuice

with my testing now done, most of my games like 80% run great with only 20% that have some issues.

some games play better in MMJ and other better in dev bulid.

some games like Pokemon XD, metriod prime 3 and some others threw a error with dual core on, but when i disabled "dual core" they worked fine.

(08-29-2020, 03:46 AM)JosJuice Wrote: It depends on the game.

yeah, i think that each of the games which has small lags + sound issues, a emu cpu fix would help,
but each game must have it's own sweet spot that will work perfectly, that needs testing tho,

i could start from 100% cpu and go down up to 20, and see which one offers the best compataly/fix for said game that has these issues, thankfully they aren't that many.

yeah, for the sonic games when i imported the ini's and i went into settings, the emu thniks they are junk settings beasue they are from a diffrent/older version of dolphin.

also does enalbing "audio latency stretching" work for games which has sound issues like stuttering?

the sound lags becuase the emu cannot process/handle the game or the game is too demanding for the emulatour to run smoothly, so it lags and has sound issues?

yeah, starfox assult works on cached, but why not on JIT Arm64?
on pc in dolphin 4.0.2 it loads up fine in JIT recomplier, but not on andriod arm 64?

well, sonic heroes should work, but i can't seem to load it becuase it rquires direct X 11, my pc says that it had direct x 11, but when i load heroes up using direct x 11, it throws an error that you need at to have at least direct x 10 to run this game.

oh and harry potter loaded up fine (minus the laggy videos) on dolphin 4.02, so it works.,
just not in dolphin 5.0.

maybe it's that these games are incompatable with dolphin 5.0 or that two of them at least aren't the correct redump, that is why they won't load passed the black screen? not matter what settings they have applied?

also, for these games is there a way to get some info on why they won't load or any info from dolphin's logs
that could point out what the issue is? i saw that dolphin has a logs section for enabling logs types,
does it work?

for the sonic games on wii, i copy/pasted the .ini files from MMJ into dev, but i couldn't get the games to bootup with video, to enable cheats, i change the "Enable cheats = true"? and put in the AR codes in the ar section.

i had an issue with pokemon battle revoultion on dev version, on bootup it would throw this error (in pic)
and then crash, so i copyed the .ini file from mmj into dev and now the game boots up fine no issues

[attachment=19120]

and for crash bandicoot, at the end of level one, upon exiting via the warp, the game could crash with a black screen and some text, but by turning on (in Pic), it fixed that issue. the issue happened on my wii too.

[attachment=19121]

You need to use Horizontal Wii Remote. You'll need to ensure the pointer is not on the screen most of the time. (Hmm, is there actually a way to hide the pointer if you're controlling it with the touchscreen? Not that I can remember...)

i found a fix for this, to hide the IR, there is a button you can assign for pressing, but you must hold for hiding the IR pointer (green target), so samus can move, and do other things too.

also, for wii games can the same button be assigned to many things? because the wii controls aslo has swing/tilt/shake etc?

i'm not sure which of my games reuiqire which of these: swing/tilt/shake?

do the per game settings.ini file overide the general dolphin settings?

um, for IR, my phone's resolution is 2340 x 1080, so the highest reoluiton that i can use in dolphin is up to 2x
720p? or up to 1080p?

i joined the forums recently because i have some questions related to some of my GC and Wii games that i cant get to work properly on my android smartphone (redmi note 8 pro).


im using two different versions of dolphin emu:

1) dolphin 5.0-11453 MMJ build (i found this from some guy on reddit)

2) dolphin 5.0-12481 Dev build (leastest) From dolphin site.


my games in total are:

i've been testing all the games in both versions of dolphin emus,
i have made two Compatibly lists, (the lists are WIP)

one for GC games
and one for Wii Games.

out of the 31 GC games:

4 of them (Star fox assault*, Samurai Jack, Sonic heroes and harry potter POA)
won't boot at all (stuck on black screen) in both versions,

not sure how to get these to work properly? (im not sure if they won't run because they are in .nkit format?

*star fox assault doesn't boot on CPU JIT ARM64 and exits, but boots on cached interpreter with sound issues however.

the rest of the GC Games work fine (boot up and i can play the game) in both MMJ and Dev version.

um, as you can see most of my games work great, except some tho, some i can't even get to boot up (4x GC games) and some issues on wii games.

1) what are the best settings for the games that has some lag or sound issues so that they can work a bit better? (best settings that i can apply to my andriod phone specficly).

2) do the settings from the wiki for the games above apply for andriod or just for the PC verins of dolphin?
cause the wiki lists the four gc games as working, but for my case they won't even boot up?
but they totaly work fine on my wii console in nintendodont.

3) the dolphin dev version does not use AR/gecko codes like MMJ does?

4) can a DSP that is dumped from a wii improve the sound on some games in dolphin and fix lags or any sound issues?

5) can i import my entire nand backup into dolphin on andriod?
ive done this on windows 7 x86, but not sure if it works on andriod version.

thanx and hope someone has some fixes for some of the games.
