Waiting for dolphin...

[SlashAcorn]

Describe the bug When I start the .love file it says it is waiting for dolphin with the dolphin logo moving. Even when I have dolphin open, it doesn't work on faster melee or regular dolphin.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Arch Linux with the 5.18.5 kernel
• Dolphin Version: Faster Melee - Slippi (2.4.0)

To Reproduce

1. Download and run the m'overlay .love file and run it
2. Open Dolphin (this can go first, I tried both)
3. The window that opens just says Waiting for Dolphin, Press ESC for options.

Expected behavior I expected it to recognize dolphin and continue past that screen, I don't know what it is meant to do after that except for showing my controller inputs

I actually use Arch Linux as well, and it's working fine for me. How are you launching Faster Melee? Command line? AppImage? Slippi Launcher?

So sorry I forgot about this but I use the slippi launcher appimage (I also sometimes launch the faster melee appimage found in ~/.config/Slippi\ Launcher/netplay/) and neither of them work.

NOTE: In order for the love to read dolphins memory you will need to set the love binary file to have ptrace access with sudo setcap cap_sys_ptrace=eip /usr/bin/love
