Gamecube games ain't working
I tried emulating Windwaker with retroarch and it doesn't open.
Whenever I open any SNES ROM, RetroArch will close and then open back up and the game is loaded. And works perfectly right?
When trying to run Windwaker, RetroArch will close and sit in my taskbar for a few seconds and then it will close.
I have tried using vulcan as the video output which did not solve my problem.
Does anyone have a solution? Or has anyone had a similar problem?
Do let me know if I need to post my specs but I should be able to run it as I am also able to run modern games.

You need to download dolphin system files to make it work. Use this guide

Also I can run it with Dolphin itself just fine
I just can't use my Pro Controller so if you know of a way to fix that then please do tell me

You’ll have to manually set up your controller for that specific core. If my workplace’s MS Access database is useless tomorrow and not usable at all (will be sent home as a result) I will have to set it up and test my Mayflash Gamecube to USB controller on RetroArch.

Also, note that Windwaker is a somewhat demanding gamecube game to emulate unless you have a dedicated or discreet GPU. It doesn’t do too well with integrated graphics chipsets.

I'm surprised you saw this lol (I should lock it I guess). I have since gotten my controller to work via bluetooth. I don't have any problem with emulating Windwaker also I did have to use Dolphin. Thanks for your response though I guess.
