How to run Dolphin (Gamecube emulator) in Fluppy 13?

#1 Post by Warrior522 »

http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/wiki/Linux_Build

I have no clue what any of this means; all I want is a functional GameCube emulator that will run on my OS (Fluppy 13, to be precise)...

its not dolphin, but heres another one, an old one, never finished, called TuxCube: http://ppm.scottjarvis.com/emulation/GC/tuxcube.pet

I tried to compile Dolphin before, but it needs loads of libs, as they insisted on trying to support the Wii as well, so it needs bluetooth and all sorts...

Wow, Scottman himself. Awesome. 8)

Is there any way to strip out the Wii parts of Dolphin? Tuxcube doesn't seem to work on my OS(Fluppy 13)...

Yeah tuxcube is lame, and a dead project... I probably should have mentioned that.

As for ripping the Wii stuff out, I doubt it... But maybe there's an older version of Dolphin without Wii support, but pretty good GC support.

Here are the dependencies to compile Dolphin:
wx2.8-headers libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libgtk2.0-dev libsdl1.2-dev nvidia-cg-toolkit libxrandr-dev libxext-dev libglew1.5-dev libao-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libbluetooth-dev libreadline5-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
I am missing quite a few at the moment, but I may try to compile, one of the most recent version has fixes for the linux build (doesn't say what)..

But here is a binary I found, will test it soon as I finish this post: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~elylevy/dolphin/i686/

Edit: tested the binary, won't run on Puppy 4, glibc error, needs compiling to work... And I was also missing these libs:

Code: Select all

	libbluetooth.so.3 => not found
	libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 => not found
	libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0 => not found
	libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 => not found
	libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 => not found
	libjack.so.0 => not found

Can't you search for and download them?

@sc0ttman
What was the glibc error that you got when you tried the binary?

Yes, the binary I linked to. It may work on Puppy 5, with the extra deps, Fluppy and Puppeee already have bluetooth, and probably jack as well..

And yes I could search around for the other libs, but the GLIBC error on Puppy 4 (given by the binary package I linked to) would prevent it from working in Puppy 4 anyway. So I'll have to compile.

So at some point, I'll get around to compiling/getting the required libs and their DEV pets (if needed), then have a go at compiling for Puppy 4.

If you're using Fluppy, or Puppy 5, give the binary a go, if you can get all the libs together it might work.

No probs..

1. Download the latest binary file here: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~elylevy/dolph ... se.tar.bz2

2. Extract it using your archive manager ("xarchive" in Fluppy, I think - I have "xarchiver" in Puppy 4)

3. Browse into the directory with the green "Dolphin" file - that is the binary file (binary meaning it's already been compiled)...

4. Right click on it and choose 'Run in Terminal' - this will show you what errors you get, if any (you will surely get some).
You can then post the information here for more help.

5. The next steps will usually involve searching the forum for libs and files required by Dolphin. This is the best place to search from: http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html

NOTE: If you do not have the 'Run in Terminal' option, then you can use ROX to browse to the directory containing the 'Dolphin' file, as above... Then you press the ` key (left of 1, above tab).. This will open a terminal window, already setup to look in the current folder.

Then you type './Dolphin' (without the quotes) in the terminal, in order to run the Dolphin binary.

Try placing it in ~/.usr/lib.
Before you do that, however, open a terminal in the directory where the Dolphin binary is located (defaults to the ` key, I believe (above the Tab key)), and type:

Code: Select all

ldd <name of binary>
If the binary's name is 'dolphin,' for example, it would be:

Code: Select all

ldd dolphin
That should check the dependencies for the binary and see if there's anything else missing (look for 'not found' instances).

Necrobump, but for a reason;

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc ... i-2.8.so.0

I have no idea which one of these is libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 (that's the missing thing it gave me, a google search yielded that link)...

Try to run the win32 version(using wine), it worked for me. But without wiimote support (real wiimote).

What version of Wine are you using? Also, are you using Fluppy, or a different os?

I can't remember exactly which wine version, it was almost one year ago so any recent version should work.

And about fluppy, no, I'm using a different puplet based on puppy-4.11, fluppy is modern than mine as it uses puppy-4.3 as base.

That's odd, i'm getting errors like crazy...

I just wanted to say that I did get Dolphin to work in Lucid Puppy without wine, but I probably did it in a sloppy, unrecommended way. Regardless I have a post on how to do it here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=79831
