Gamecube emulation

cdayton29

This might be a beginner question but I just got Batocera running on my laptop I have roms working for NES and N64 and all the preloaded emulators. I'm struggling with gamecube it wont even show up on my home screen. I have dolphin downloaded for emulation, but I'm not sure what folder to put it in "BIOS,ROMS, System. " I assumed BIOS but no luck getting it to even show on the home screen when I load Batocera.

Good morning. You don't need a Bios for Gamecube. Systems were shown when you put Games in the Folder for the System you want. To put Games inside, you can Press F1 in EmulationStation or you can go via Ssh. But Usb is much faster. When you press F1 there is a Folder called Roms. Search for your Gamecube Folder an transfer via Usb. I hope this was a little helpfull. Sorry for my bad English.

thanks, I was able to get the ROMS into the files in Batocera its just not showing up on the main page where all my emulators are showing up. I've restarted it and refreshed game list still no sign of GameCube. Your English is perfectly fine.

Are you sure you are using the x86_64 version of batocera?
Where exactly did you put your Gamecube games into?
I recommend to use the network-method to transfer games:

I'll give network a try. I have been doing this from a single laptop just booting between Batocera and windows 10. I downloaded the 64 option from the main site it showed 86 option and a 64 option. The Gamecube games a stored all the roms on a seperate USB and them added them onto the USB I have Batocera on It worked for N64 when I added them to the N64 file but not the gamecube or PS2 files.

Nevermind hahaha I didn't extract the rom files. like I said I'm new and learning. This still helped me learn a lot of other things while tinkering thank you!
