Dolphin-emu Controller Issues

Not sure if this is the right place for this. My issue may very well be with the emulator rather than crunchbang, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone here could help.

To compile/install dolphin-emu on waldorf I followed the directions at https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/wiki/Linux_Build and everything went relatively smoothly. Unfortunately, I am having a bit of a weird issue with the controller. I have a Logitech gamepad, and the Dolphin's configuration utility recognizes it fine; all of the buttons are mapped appropriately. However, when I load a game it no longer recognizes the gamepad; I can get no interaction at all in-game. I even tried opening up the configuration utility while a game was running. The configuration utility recognized all of the buttons correctly, but the game still did not.

Any idea what's causing the disconnect? Thanks!

Cheers,
stevo

Re: Dolphin-emu Controller Issues

This may be a dumb question from me but, have you selected your gamepad options as the primary input? Sometimes it is not selected as default.

Aw, man. That was totally it. I am really striking out lately on being thorough. I am very thankful for this kind community, and particularly for your suggestion, pikusinski.

Just for reference (as it was not very intuitive for me to find this option):
Options -> Configuration, then go to the "Gamecube" tab and under "Device Settings" there should be a drop-down menu for "Port 1" in which "Standard Controller" needs to be selected.

Thanks again, pkusinski!

EDIT: How do I mark this thread as "SOLVED"?

Cheers,
stevo

Re: Dolphin-emu Controller Issues

... I have no idea how to compile stuff. Thanks 

Best read up on it then

Briefly, in this case, first check your system has all the dependencies. I would open synaptic and go through the list of Build Dependencies to see if any aren't already there. You will definitely have to install the build stuff if you didn't install them during the first run cb-welcome script (You can run it again any time if you want to) If anything isn't available in the repositories then I wouldn't go any further if I were you without some research

Then follow the instructions on that link...
(Removing the wood from the trees )
Get a local copy of the dolphin-emu repository:

git clone https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/ dolphin-emu

Change to the directory created:

cd dolphin-emu

Create a build subdirectory, and change into it.

mkdir Build && cd Build

Configure the build, build and install in the standard make way:

cmake ..
make && sudo make install

You can run dolphin from anywhere by typing:

dolphin-emu

Let us know how you get on!
