Emulator

I'm pretty sure the DolphinBar only lists itself as compatible with Windows and macOS in the product description.

If you want to write your own driver for it, it'd work, but it's not a generic bluetooth device that'll just "work."

Apparently I'm mistaken and it can work in Linux, ignore me. Someone else who's gotten it working in Linux will need to handle this.

I download the latest version using these commands

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dolphin-emu/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install dolphin-emu-master

But I have a new problem which is that when I load a game an error message appears saying...

Warning

Failed to initialize video backend!

I even tried to change the Graphics settings but nothing seems to work. However when I tried to configure my Wiimote, I clicked the Refresh button in the controller settings and tapped A & B on my Wiimote and I felt it vibrate for a second which makes me believe the Dolphinbar is working on the latest Dev build. But I am unable to launch a game to test it to confirm that it is working.

That would be a separate issue, so please open a new one and fill out the template following the instructions in it.

Please don't. The issue tracker is not a support forum. Please use the forums for that.

Yes, please use the forums instead.

Once I get this backend issue resolved I will report back on weather the latest Dolphin development version fixed this issue.

OK I solved mt backend issue by changing my Graphics drivers to the open source drivers and the Dolphinbar does work with the latest build.
