Can't install Dolphin

Open JakobDev opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

I installed EmuDeck using the custom installation, because I need only PS2 Emulation, so I installed only PCSX2. Now I want to install Dolphin. But when I go to Manage your Emulators>Dolphin and tap install, nothing happens. No Install, no error message, just nothing.

I am having a similar issue on my topic (#842), it applies to many emulators but not all of them, but in most of them I get an error message. While it's not a fix, you can install it using the Discover store and then you can apply the recommended settings with EmuDeck and it should apply them.

Can you please send the output of flatpak install flathub org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu --user when run from from konsole?

I have found out the same thing as MarcoReckless, as I tried to install Dolphin from Flathub.To my surpise it was recognized by EmuDeck (for PCSX2 it uses the AppImage and not the Flatpak, so I didn't think of that).

I had now uninstalled it and installed it again to show the output, but nothing interesting here:

(deck@steamdeck ~)$ flatpak install --user org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu
Looking for matches…

You should really update EmuDeck to show a meaningful error message if something fails, so the User know what happens and can eventually fix it.

It sounds like there was no meaningful output.

The output of stderr is piped to a notification in emudeck.
