Can anyone tell me what I've been doing wrong here please? I've been at this for the entire day.
I've got Retroarch up and running, then updated everything. I changed it from an app to a game in the settings. I have a working Wii rom on the internal. (Tested previously on laptop, and worked on here at one point, I'll get back to that later.) * I've got the bios files, or whatever they are, for Dolphin. I've downloaded the My Files Explorer app and used it to move the bios files into the LocalState/system directory. These are steps that I've been told to do by every guide or video or hearsay I could find throughout the entire days setup attempt. But still, I cannot get it to work. Currently, when I select the core then the rom, it black screens and essentially crashes. A post I found said to check the system information of the core, to which I did. The bottom three cogs have exclamation points next to them, claiming that the "Dolphin 'sys'" folder is not in the system folder, to which it definitely is, I put it there myself. What am I doing wrong here? I didn't want to have to ask for help but after an entire day I'm completely lost.
And lastly, getting back to what I said earlier, the rom DID actually work when I first moved it over, for the first good few boots. At first I was having issues getting the updater to download the assets, downloading them and restarting the app multiple times but having no icons pop up. I otherwise ignored that problem and focused on getting the rom up and running... To which it did, immediately and seemingly flawlessly, my only problem being that I couldn't get any controller input. After one of my restarts faffing about trying to get controller input from the game, suddenly Retroarch booted up with all of its menu icons in place. But ever since then, the rom has never successfully booted up. And this was very early in the day as well, I've marked in the paragraph above with an asterisk * where this all takes place before.
So does anyone have an idea what on earth I'm apparently doing wrong here? The fact that the rom worked at the start and now does not just makes it even more confusing.
