First lt me say I own a wii, but out of interest I wanted to see what dolphin could do so tries it with super mario brothers wii (this was months ago,not sure what version) but by odin's raven it was amazing, it looked on par 360,ps3 graphics, I wish my wii was so capable.
I didn't try anything else tbh honest bit I may well try this one out for a bit of geeky fun...

I just imagined the voice of Smeagol while I read your post.

Azfargh4627d ago

Does not make any sense... but it does remembers Smeagol somehow...

One step closer to getting the Rogue Squadron games to work.

rustyspoon804628d ago

Do the RS games not work on Dolphin?
I've got the old Gamecube games up in the loft somewhere. It'd be great to play them in HD.

LOL AT ALF STUART!!!! your avatar is so funny, i remember when growing up watching home and away and neighbours because my sisters were addicts of both shows, its just not the same any more!
These FLAMING KIDS HAVE NO IDEA HOW GOOD TV USED TO BE!
LOLOLOL classic the guy was so funny when mad

Do I still need a super computer to run games perfectly on their native settings? I get it, emulation is hard, but it's real stupid that my laptop can't even run PS2 and Gamecube emulation at anything above 10 FPS when I can play many modern PC games on good settings.

TotalSynthesisX4628d ago

I know your pain. My laptop can't run Gamecube or PS2 games any faster than 50% speed. That's why I said to hell with it and ordered a gaming laptop. I can't wait til it gets here next week lol.

PJQPAC4627d ago

most laptops including "gaming laptops" are not great for PS2/NGC emulation you would be better off getting a desktop instead with a unlocked intel K series cpu and overclocking it like the intel core i5 4670K.

Kaze884627d ago

I have a computer that runs BF3 on ultra settings, but wii games on dolphin 3.5 are unplayable. Just tried Last story on dolphin 4.0...still jaggy 16-20 fps. Ill try to tick the settings but i dont think that it will work any better since it didnt on the older version.

Feralkitsune4627d ago

Some game have certain setting you need to change to run well. That is one of them, check the dolphin Wiki.

Totoro174627d ago

My gaming laptop runs both PS2 and Wii/GC emulators without a problem. I did have to spend a pretty penny (around $1800) but the fact that my gaming system is completely portable has been so worth it not to mention HDMI inputs so when I want to game at home, I just hook it up to my home theater system.

tommyhl24627d ago

That's a common misconception from people who have no idea what emulation is about. PC games and emulated games are not comparable.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing25d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9225d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit25d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing25d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9225d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
