Hello!

Thank’s a lot for Batocera, I love it and os working like a charm!!

I had such a problem for Gamecube, a temporary workaround (sorry for my bad english):

copied (created) the GFX.ini file from the Dolphin 5.0 settings for WINDOWS to
\BATOCERA\share\system\configs\dolphin-emu\

In the file, widescreen resolution is regulated by two lines:
[Settings]
AspectRatio = (1 - wide / 0 - narrow)
wideScreenHack = (False / True - set widescreen hacks in Dolphin, i not use, artifacts appear)

file Dolphin.ini include this settings (ratio=1), but not working...

Full text in my GFX.ini :

VSync = False
Adapter = 0
[Settings]
AspectRatio = 1

wideScreenHack = false

as far as i remember, for wii and gamecube, 16/9 option exists but is not automatic.
just go in menu>games>advanced>wii and choose 16/9
it may works for wii only ; i'm not sure.

Hello,

I have two questions :

Why you don’t use the Dolphin libretro core on batocera.
I test it on few games, the core works well and it’s possible to improve graphics.
The core allow 16/9 support too.

How can we increase the storage size of / usr / lib / libretro?
Indeed, after adding the core mdnafen_psx_hw and the core mednafen_saturn, I have no more space to add the core Dolphin.
Is there a way to increase the size to allow me to add more cores?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

16/9 is added for the next version.
note that you can already get dolphin in 16/9 by selecting it in menu>games>advanced>wii, it is just that it is not automatic in the current version if your resolution is 16/9, but it works.

when i added dolphin, there were not the dolphin core.
generally cores doesn't work as good as the original one.
dolphin, the original allows things like 3d (hotkey + l1 as far as i remember) and some advanced features.
can you feedback on cores you recommand i add ?

to extend,you can resize the overlay i think. when you save overlay, add a parameter, like 100.
an other way is to do a link from /lib/libretro to /recalbox/share/my_libretro and put all the cores inside /recalbox/share/my_libretro
