Xbox Controller Config Files for Dolphin (found on the discord, I don't know how secure that is)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1057151520237420634/1057151521248247809/UWP_Dolphin_Controller_Settings.zip

Dolphin Instructions:

  • after first run, load any compatible .iso or .ciso from your prepared USB.

  • After the game is finished compiling shaders, click the left stick and back button on your controller to bring up the menu

  • use the control stick to scroll down to "select config location"

  • select your USB stick and confirm

  • restart Dolphin, launch game and repeat process to check if Dolphin has printed its folder structure and default config files on to your USB

  • Using a computer, use the config files downloaded from https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1057151520237420634/1057151521248247809/UWP_Dolphin_Controller_Settings.zip to REPLACE the ones already in /config/ on your Xbox USB drive

Your .isos will now launch on your Xbox and recognize your controller. If you are unhappy with the button mapping, you can use the Xbox Accessories app to remap the buttons on your controller system-wide

Don't do anything illegal :porky-happy:

PS2 emulators and others are available on the Gamr13 discord, but require a BIOS to function

    Breaking this into pieces as I'm not sure what question is being asked.

    Phantasy Star Online can be played on dolphin online (via emulated broadband adapter) on private servers (a game that was an online game back in the day and has reverse-engineered servers that are now run by the community).

    Games like Mario Kart DD which supported LAN play through the broadband adapter can be played if you use some sort of tunneling software to fake a LAN connection over the internet (XLink Kai or something like it). Or you can play it split screen like you would if someone was next to you during the 3rd way listed below.

    Traditionally multiplayer games (Mario Party 4,5,6) can be played over netplay (built into dolphin) which basically syncs the game-state and acts as if everyone is playing 1 game over the internet. This requires all users to have the exact same game copy and identical saves.

    If you have any further questions let me know and I'll be happy to try to answer them.

    EDIT: Saw your post further down about Kirby Air Ride. If I remember correctly that's a Netplay game, so look into that to have a grand old time with the friends like back in the day and hope it brings much laughter and smiles.
