UPDATE - apparently I had Plex Media Server installed but disabled. Extremely inconvenient when trying to load files to the Shield's external SSD drive. I can work around this, but I really don't know why it's just stuck on "Loading." now. Recently the "Transfer files over local networks" doesn't seem to work anymore.UPDATE: Dolphin MMJ is apparently "not Android TV compatible" so will not show up in the main apps according to** u/stappernn (thx). I have to launch them from ES File Explorer or otherwise which is super annoying. Dolphin MMJ apps do not show up on the main interface at all.Mostly I'm playing Luigi's Mansion and it's pretty stellar.

The remote and geometrically contoured game controller accompany this box.įolks, is there a particular Dolphin emu version and setup that can make this turn into a happy ending? Perhaps the games I'm trying out just don't work yet?įWIW, Gamecube works fine for the titles I've tried. The Shield itself is a 2017 model P2897 version 9 running 8.0.2. Games I've tried so far include Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, and Animal Crossing (plus a couple others). Aka, super slow frame rates and stretched audio that looks like I'm trying to push a Raspberry Pi to its limits. However, no matter what settings I've tried in any of these releases, the results are what my daughter calls "cursed games". So far, I've tried Dolphin official releases and even some hard-to-find current MMJ releases all the way up to 5.0-11453 MMJ. Google results and Youtube regularly show pretty stellar gameplay, but I've never found anyone currently showing how to set up which emulator to actually get good game play. I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to optimally set up Dolphin on the Shield. Looking for content - send us a mod mail if you have something that should be added.Ĭan anyone show me (like I'm 5) how to set up the Shield & Dolphin for good gameplay?.(You can also email with a follow up or more detail) Samsung SmartThings hub support (using a dongle) is coming.
