This doesn’t affect gameplay because the gas pedal button is used normally for game menu selections. Now when a player selects GP1 from my frontend and presses start they are actually loading the savestate without even realizing it. Then I loaded up 315 and changed the hotkey for load savestate 1 from the default of F1 to my mapped player 1 start button (this happens to be 1 on my arcade cab). (NOTE- your savestate could be labeled something else in this statesave folder, ie. I then copied the savestate 'MK-GP1.s01' located in the user/statesave folder in Dolphin 309 and pasted it into the same folder in Dolphin 315. It is the tenth installment in the Mario Kart franchise and the third title in the Arcade series following Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, which was a follow-up to Mario Kart Arcade GP. Then I exited the game and closed dolphin. Mario Kart Arcade GP DX is a Mario Kart game for arcade systems, developed by Namco Bandai Games in partnership with Nintendo. I ran the game on dolphin TF 309 and created a savestate (shift/F1 by default) IMMEDIATELY after adding credits. I followed the instructions posted on for installing and setting up GP1.

I don’t leave a keyboard out, and I feel this completely breaks the “arcade experience”.įirst of all I recommend adding a portable.txt file into ALL of your dolphin installation folders so that each version has its own save files. The reason I did this was because I wanted players to be able to start this game on my cabinet without having to press F1 on a keyboard. If you are not playing on a cab or sim rig with a mapped start button this probably won’t help you. I thought I would post about a few extra steps that I took while setting up Dolphin Triforce which have helped with running MK GP1 on my arcade cab and sim rig.
