Hey everyone! ๐
After months of work, testing, and a few sleepless nights, Iโm proud to present a **new version** of my Dolphin project for muOS. This isnโt just an update of the old core โ itโs a **complete rewrite** that takes the best of what came before and pushes it to a new level.
This is
**DOLPHIN RT:CORE** for muOS **- v11.5.00 โTriptychโ**
and this is _ **Flavour I: Comfort Zone**._
* * *
## **๐ฏ What is Comfort Zone?**
**Comfort Zone** is the _streamlined_ edition of Dolphin Rt:Core. The idea is simple: **no useless menus, no settings to fiddle with, no bloat.** You assign the core to your ROM folder, pick a profile, and play.
Everything happens through the **muOS Content Explorer** , exactly like any other emulator in the system.
* * *
## **๐ Finally โ A Working Exit Hotkey!**
Letโs start with the headline news, because this one deserves it.
**Comfort Zone finally ships with a working exit hotkey:** `START + SELECT`.
You press it, Dolphin quits, youโre back in muOS. **No more rebooting the device.**
For anyone who has spent time with GameCube or Wii emulation on these handhelds, you know exactly how painful this was. You finish a session, you want to try a different **Profile** , or you want to test another title โ and the only way out was to **reboot the entire device**. Every single time.
Thankfully muOS has extremely fast boot times, otherwise this would have been an absolute nightmare. But even with fast boots, it was a real gap in the experience โ and it was felt. **Now itโs gone.**
The exit is clean:
- `START + SELECT` sends a proper `SIGTERM` to Dolphin
- The launcher catches the signal and shuts everything down gracefully
- Youโre back in the muOS frontend in under two seconds
No menus. No overlays to dismiss. No combos to memorize. Just press and youโre out.
* * *
## **โจ Whatโs Included**
### **๐ Seven Ready-to-Use Profiles**
Every profile is tuned for the H700, with **JITARM64 forced** (`CPUCore = 4`) and **async shader compilation** (`ShaderCompilationMode = 3`). Compared to the previous version, CPU-bound performance improved by **50% to 300%**.
| Profile | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **performance** | Daily driver, balanced |
| **compatibility** | Accuracy first, slower |
| **rintromping** | Maximum speed |
| **speedhacks** | Extra hack flags enabled |
| **blackscreenfix** | For games that wonโt boot |
| **sweetspot** | Custom-tuned balance |
| **default** | Baseline reference |
Available for **GameCube** (upright) and **Wii** (upright + sideways).
* * *
### **๐จ Automatic Bloom Removal**
The **โAll Games Bloom Removalโ** mod is **always active** for every game. Itโs the single biggest FPS gain on H700 (+2โ5 FPS on most 3D titles). Zero configuration needed.
* * *
### **๐ฏ Per-Game DOF Removal**
For the heaviest titles, weโve added **Depth of Field removal** โ already active and targeted only to those games:
Crash Nitro Kart ยท Crash Tag Team Racing ยท Crash: Wrath of Cortex ยท DBZ Budokai 1/2 ยท Super Mario Sunshine ยท Scaler ยท Metroid Prime ยท Super Smash Bros. Melee ยท Mario Smash Football
* * *
### **๐ฎ Curated GameSettings**
12 per-game overrides for problematic titles (NFS Most Wanted, Crash, DBZ, Mario Sunshine, etc.), each documented with region, reason, and expected FPS.
* * *
## **๐ฆ Installation**
| Step | Action |
| --- | --- |
| **1** | Download [`Dolphin_RtCore_v11.5.00-I_ComfortZone.muxupd`](https://github.com/SilverCrow2323/Dolphin-Core-for-MuOS/releases/tag/v11.5.00) from the release |
| **2** | Copy to `/mnt/mmc/ARCHIVE/` (SD1) or `/mnt/sdcard/ARCHIVE/` (SD2) |
| **3** | Go to **Applications โ Archive Manager** |
| **4** | Select the `.muxupd` file and start installation |
| **5** | Wait โ everything is installed automatically โ
|
* * *
## **๐ฎ Usage**
1. From muOS, open the **Content Explorer**
2. Navigate to your GameCube or Wii ROM folder
3. Press **X** โ **Assign Core**
4. Select **Nintendo GameCube** or **Nintendo Wii**
5. Pick a profile from the list (7 available)
6. Launch any game โ the core is now assigned to that folder
* * *
## **๐ก Compatibility List**
The community-curated compatibility list with **200+ tested titles** is available here:
๐ **[silvercrow2323.github.io/Dolphin-Core-for-MuOS](https://silvercrow2323.github.io/Dolphin-Core-for-MuOS/)**
Each entry includes: star rating, FPS range, recommended profile, and known issues.
* * *
## **โ Honest Note on Performance**
**The H700 is not hardware for Dolphin.** This is a **technical demonstration** , not a plug-and-play emulator. Realistic expectations:
- ๐ข Lightweight 2D games: **30โ50 FPS**
- ๐ก Medium 3D games: **15โ25 FPS**
- ๐ด Heavy 3D games (NFS, Crash, Zelda): **5โ15 FPS**
If you want smooth GameCube performance, you need a device with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or better. But if you want to **squeeze every last drop out of the H700** , this is the closest youโll get.
* * *
## **๐ค We Want Your Feedback**
This project lives and dies by community testing. If you try Comfort Zone, **please share your results** โ whether theyโre good, bad, or ugly.
Specifically, weโd love to receive:
- ๐ฏ **Test results** โ which titles work, which donโt, and at what FPS
- โ **Winning configurations** โ profile + GameSettings combos that made a game playable
- ๐จ **Useful mods** โ any Graphics Mods or texture packs that improved a specific title
- ๐ **Sources and links** โ Dolphin forum threads, community spreadsheets, anything useful
- ๐ **Bug reports** โ if something breaks, tell us exactly what happened
Post them in this thread, or open an issue on GitHub:
๐ **[github.com/SilverCrow2323/Dolphin-Core-for-MuOS/issues](https://github.com/SilverCrow2323/Dolphin-Core-for-MuOS/issues)**
Every report helps. Every config gets folded back into the next release. **This is a community project, and the community makes it better.**
* * *
## **๐ Credits**
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible.

* * *
Hey everyone!
Some of you have already tried **Comfort Zone** โ the โassign and playโ flavour of Dolphin Rt:Core. It works, itโs clean, and it got people gaming on the H700 with GameCube and Wii titles.
But a few of you asked the same question: _โWhat if I want more control?โ_
This is the answer.
**Bash Arsenal** is the power-user extension of Comfort Zone. It installs **on top of** it, adds a full Task Toolkit menu, tier adjusters, a mod scanner, save data managers, and an in-device technical manual. Everything Comfort Zone has, plus the knobs to tune it.
* * *
## What is Bash Arsenal?
Bash Arsenal is a **superset** , not a replacement.
- โ
Everything in Comfort Zone works identically
- โ **Adds tiered profiles** โ Lite, Standard, Max
- โ **Adds automation tasks** โ 30+ scripts in a 7-category menu
- โ **Adds a mod scanner** โ auto-mirrors your `Load/` folder
- โ **Adds save data managers** โ wipe GC/Wii saves safely
- โ **Adds an in-Task-Toolkit manual** โ 13 pages, no PC required
No custom UI. No Python. No background daemons. Everything runs through the **standard muOS Task Toolkit framework**.
* * *
## The Tier System โ Rt:Core Profiles
Comfort Zone had single-strength profiles. Bash Arsenal replaces that with **three discrete tiers** for each of the three flagship profiles.
### The Four Core Profiles
| Profile | Philosophy | Use Case |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ๐ **rtboost** | Performance Boost โ max FPS | Titles that stutter on rtprime |
| โ **rtprime** | Balanced โ daily driver | 90% of your library |
| ๐ฏ **rtpure** | Compatibility โ accuracy first | Games with glitches |
| ๐ **rtverbose** | Debug โ verbose logging | Report generation |
### Three Tiers per Profile
| Tier | rtboost | rtprime | rtpure |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ๐ข **Lite** | OC 0.85, minimal hacks | OC 1.0, near-accurate | OC 1.0, async shader |
| ๐ก **Standard** | OC 0.65, full hacks | OC 1.0, moderate hacks | OC 1.0, sync shader |
| ๐ด **Max** | OC 0.50, everything off | OC 0.75, aggressive | OC 1.0, strictest accuracy |
**Why tiers instead of sliders?** Sliders create 42+ untested combinations. Tiers are three discrete, fully-validated states. Each is a complete `Dolphin.ini` + `GFX.ini` pair, tested end-to-end.
* * *
## The Task Toolkit Menu
Everything lives inside **Applications โ Task Toolkit โ Dolphin RtCore**. Seven categories:
### 01. Profile Adjusters
Swap the active tier of any Rt:Core profile on the fly.
- `RtBoost [Performance]` โ Lite ยท Standard ยท Max
- `RtPrime [Balanced]` โ Lite ยท Standard ยท Max
- `RtPure [Accuracy]` โ Lite ยท Standard ยท Max
Selecting a tier instantly replaces `Dolphin.ini.rtboost` (or `rtprime` / `rtpure`). Next launch uses it.
### 02. Toggles
Live switches for on-screen overlays.
- **FPS Overlay** โ ShowFPS
- **VPS Overlay** โ ShowVPS
- **Speed Overlay** โ ShowSpeed
- **OSD Messages** โ OnScreenDisplayMessages
- **Cursor Visibility** โ Wii pointer cursor
### 03. Config Management
State inspection and lifecycle tools.
- **Show Active Config** โ current profile, tier, active mods, key INI values
- **Reset All Profiles** โ restore every profile to factory defaults
- **Expose All Tiers** โ show every tier in Content Explorer โ Assign Core
- **Standard Only** โ collapse Content Explorer to base profiles only
### 04. Advanced Options
Auto-generated tree mirroring your `Load/` folder.
- **Refresh Mods List** โ scans `Load/GraphicMods/`, `Load/Textures/`, etc. and rebuilds the toggle menu
- **Per-mod toggles** โ enable/disable any mod via `.disabled` marker
- **Bulk actions** โ `_Disable All` and `_Enable All` per subfolder
### 05. Logs
- **Clean Logs** โ wipes log files
- **View Launcher Report** โ last session summary
### 06. Technical Manual
An in-device reference manual โ 13 pages, no PC required.
| Page | Topic |
| --- | --- |
| 00 | Index |
| 01โ02 | Toggles โ Overlays & On-Screen Info |
| 03โ06 | Profiles โ rtboost ยท rtpure ยท rtprime ยท rtverbose |
| 07 | How To Choose a Profile |
| 08 | Core Tools |
| 09 | Advanced Options |
| 10 | Save Data |
| 11 | Logger & Diagnostics |
| 12 | Assign & Tiers |
Each page auto-closes after a configurable reading time. Options submenu: Fast (5s) / Normal (10s) / Slow (15s), plus a general-purpose timer (3/5/7s) for other tasks.
### 07. Save Data
Safe wipe utilities for GameCube and Wii saves.
- **Delete GC Saves** โ memory cards + per-game saves (keeps SRAM)
- **Delete Wii Saves** โ game save data only (keeps system files)
- **Delete All Saves** โ both
Plus the classic **Eradicate da Dolpheen** โ the full uninstaller.
* * *
## Content Explorer โ Two Modes
Bash Arsenal ships with **two assign strategies** , switchable from Task 03.
### ๐ฏ MODE 1 โ Standard Only (default)
Content Explorer โ Assign Core shows only the base profiles:
Dolphin - rtboost - upright
Dolphin - rtprime - upright
Dolphin - rtpure - upright
Dolphin - rtverbose - upright
Clean menu. Tier is managed from Task 01. **Recommended for 95% of users.**
### ๐ MODE 2 โ All Tiers Exposed
Enable via **Task 03 โ Expose All Tiers** :
Dolphin - rtboost - upright
Dolphin - rtboost lite - upright
Dolphin - rtboost std - upright
Dolphin - rtboost max - upright
โฆ same pattern for rtprime and rtpure
Assign a specific tier to a specific game directly. For users who want per-game tier control.
> Revert any time with **Task 03 โ Standard Only**.
* * *
## Whatโs Inherited from Comfort Zone
Everything from Flavour I is present and unchanged:
- ๐น Automatic Bloom Removal โ global, enabled by default
- ๐น Curated per-game DOF Removal โ 10 titles pre-targeted
- ๐น HD Texture Pack for Crash Nitro Kart โ 5.7 MB, active by default
- ๐น Empiric GameSettings โ 12 hand-tuned engine overrides
- ๐น START + SELECT exit hotkey โ no menus, no prompts
- ๐น Zero Python, zero gptokeyb โ pure C/SDL input handler
- ๐น Minimal disk I/O โ two log files total
The [Compatibility Database](https://silvercrow2323.github.io/Dolphin-Core-for-MuOS/) with 200+ benchmarked games applies equally.
* * *
## Installation
| Step | Action |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | Ensure **Comfort Zone v11.5.00** is already installed |
| 2 | Download [`Dolphin_RtCore_v11.5.00_BashArsenal.muxupd`](https://github.com/SilverCrow2323/Dolphin-Core-for-MuOS/releases/tag/v11.5.00-II) from the release |
| 3 | Copy to `/mnt/mmc/ARCHIVE/` (SD1) or `/mnt/sdcard/ARCHIVE/` (SD2) |
| 4 | Go to **Applications โ Archive Manager** |
| 5 | Select the `.muxupd` file and start installation |
| 6 | Open **Applications โ Task Toolkit โ Dolphin RtCore** โ the menu is ready |
> โ **DO NOT install Bash Arsenal on a device WITHOUT Comfort Zone.** The Rt:Core, launcher script and standard profile files come from Comfort Zone; Bash Arsenal is the extension that adds the task layer on top together with the new adjustable profiles.
* * *
## Usage
### Recommended first actions
1. **Task Toolkit โ 01. Profile Adjusters โ RtPrime [Balanced] โ rtprime Standard**
Sets the daily-driver profile to its balanced tier.
2. **Task Toolkit โ 06. Technical Manual โ 00. README**
Opens the in-device reference. Page 07 (How To Choose) walks through the decision tree.
3. **Task Toolkit โ 04. Advanced Options โ Refresh Mods List**
Builds the per-mod toggle menu from your `Load/` folder.
