Dolphin Emulator on Ubuntu Linux 10.10

[AmmonAlchemist]

I've been looking everywhere for a way to install dolphin on my computer. This is a very direct video that was easy to understand. Thank you!!!!

[MrBandicootKid]

[TheBrandonWeidner]

I have installed this but when I try to play any game it says "Failed to initialize video backend!" it works on my Windows account but my other programs are taking up to much of my CPU and I want to run it on Ubuntu can you guys help me

[holmcross4130]

@TheBrandonWeidner That means you don't have the driver for your video card installed. What type of card do you have?

use this command to find out

lspci | grep VGA

if you have ATI or Nvidia card check for additional drivers under Applications>>>System>>>Additi­onal drivers

Then install the recommended drivers

[TheBrandonWeidner]

@holmcross4130 I have a NVIDIA GeForce 310M

[TheBrandonWeidner]

@holmcross4130 And I have the latest NVITIA accelerated graphics driver

[holmcross4130]

@TheBrandonWeidner When you open dolphin click on the graphics tab. Where it says "backend" make sure you are using Opengl. Another thing make sure you have the nvidia-toolkit package installed. Let me know your progress.

[TheBrandonWeidner]

@holmcross4130 Afraid it still won't work :(

[holmcross4130]

@TheBrandonWeidner For some reason or another you dont have 3D acceleration. install the mesa-utils package. Then type in the command below.

glxgears

If you see the gears in the terninal turning then you have 3D acceleration but if not the driver you are using did not install the correctly. You may want to go to the NVidia website, download and install the drivers. Hope that helps

Thanks for this........working great.

in kubuntu 11.04 - this didn't work with 64 bit. I added the ppa to the repository and updates sources and dolphin is now appearing in package manager. I'll give it a try when I get a chance.

Thanks for another great vid.

[holmcross4130]

@AjaySalas some games are not compatible try again on the next revision of dolphin. They make fixes really quick. You can also try using this link to have the best config for dolphin. wwwdotdolphin-emulatordotcom/c­onfiguration-explanation.html

[holmcross4130]

@Sephiroth42496 Dolphin comes with its own set of plugins that work. just install dolphin and you are ready to play!
