F-Zero AX test [Test Menu + Race] in Dolphin 2512-397

Описание: READ ME: First minute is testing the test menu changes [and waiting for motor to initialize] then the race actually begins - this will be timestamped. Apologies for slowdowns on my PC during recording.

0:00 Test Menu
2:15 Boot and Race

If you have a keen eye, you may notice that I actually used my card from when I played with the previous Dolphin 5.0 triforce build from 2023. If you rename it accordingly to plop it in the Triforce folder in the new main Dolphin build [rename from tricard_SBGG.bin to tricard_GGGE6E.bin], then Dolphin will recognize it again.

Besides being easier to setup now without any need of patches [Motor Initializing takes around a minute, but after that, you're good to go] and being integrated in the main build, now you can actually access the test menu, change settings, go back and then enter the game again without being stuck nor having to force a read-only file. You can see this in effect as I set the game to Free Play, set the CPUs to Hardest and even increase the lap count for a race.

Although you NEED segaboot.gcm [the Dolphin blog article covering this new update tells you where to get it - and no, the MAME Triforce Bios does NOT work for this, in case you also were told that] if you want to access the test menu.

Also, not sure why Dolphin is a bit weird to calibrate properly the AX controls here - if this also happens to you [left and right don't have the same maxed out values and the machine tilts slightly to a direction in-game on neutral], I could share the save file I grabbed from the 2023 build that's pre-calibrated.
