Wii emulator can do 720p HD

[Basileus777]

What's the cheapest GPU I can buy to get Brawl to run at 50-60FPS?

For this sort of emulation the CPU is more important than the GPU. You'll need a fast multi-core processor.

[plagiarize]

top left quarter of the screen is all pixelated. not seeing any options that fix that either... haven't tried running it in d3d though. it takes a specially compiled version of dolphin to run it too... which i got from here







it's a very different game to the PC/360/PS3 version... but i have to say i do like the art style all the same. dunno if it's playable on mouse and keyboard with the way the wrangling works though. works great with the wiiremote.

runs slower than it runs on the wii. unsurprisingly.

Have they fixed the audio issues on Nintendo games yet? I know the Zelda's didn't work with audio (WW and TP).

I'm interested in this as well, I've been trying my GC games on this lately and when I saw WW fell in love again with it.

I didn't find anything googling, so is there any solution or we'll have to wait?

"Here's what I know: There's two sound codes, AX and non-AX. The DSP documentation has not been distributed outside of Nintendo so only they can make new sound codes, and they made two of them. One called AX that SDK users use, and another one for themselves that many of their games use, for example Mario, Zelda, Pikmin and other games. The HLE plugin is close to emulating the AX code fully, there's just a few bugs left. But the non-AX code is not emulated at all by the HLE plugin, except for one or two boot mails that you can find in UCode_Zelda.cpp. The non-AX code has been converted to C code to some extent, but not well enough to make a HLE plugin out of it as I understand it. So the first step towards getting sound in Zelda is for example to make a non-AX game boot when you use the LLE plugin. Currently all non-AX games freeze after a second or two as the non-AX code ends up in the HALT function that stops all execution. So something goes wrong during the first mail communications. There's several things one could do next, (i) try to make sense of the mail communication and find the incorrect mails. The mails in the HLE plugin looked simple but in the LLE plugin there was something like 20 different mails before HALT and I could not understand any of them. (ii) Check if the non-AX code has opcodes that the AX code don't and find out if any of them fail and in that case try to fix them. (iii) Start making HLE versions of frequently executed opcodes and hope that luck strikes so that it fixes the emulation."

some sound recently appeared in mario kart and some other games i think but its twice the speed so sounds really bad but its progress

Wow is all I can say. Not sure if I'd be banned for saying I hope Wii HD comes out (haven't followed the wii rules and I figure it could possibly be a bannable statement due to rumors by now).

ok that was quick, seems Nherve now works on dolphin

does the emulator benefit from tri or quadcore cpus ?

[bridegur]

Are there any more screens of this available? What about HD video?

[DieH@rd]

Anyone knows what is the state of REmake and RE0 emulation? Are the glitches still there?

[mattiewheels]

absolutely. you can barely run metroid on a dual core, the extra cores make it much more doable.

[cw_sasuke]

ah thx, would you say a quad core phenom with 4850 could run most supported games on +50fps ?

[ant1532]

kinda simliar to my recent post in the ps2 emu thread...
so is it worth it? now can the wii emu use a normal gamepad just fine like a 360 controller for games like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom or Super Mario Galaxy? Those are the only wii titles i can think of that I would want to play.... ALso if that doesnt fair out well with my macbook, how about the GC (dolphin) emu? I would like to have perfect playing Smash melee, wind waker, and twilight princess....

[Splatt]

They work perfectly. There are some glitches when using save states but most people managed to complete the games on Dolphin emu witnout problems. The only thing I'm unsure is whether the newest version of the emulator fixes the sound lag issue in RE0 when opening doors, choosing options etc.

Thanks, that is great news.

the dolphin emu is more demanding then the PS2 emu.

that in no shape answers any of my questions.

i have no idea (don't even really know what you're talking about ), but my dual core 2.4ghz runs most games flawlessly, so the more intensive games should definitely run a lot smoother on twice as many cores (if that means twice the speed, i guess).

No, it doesn't directly support gamepads, you gotta use something like xpadder to make your gamepad type keys. Oh and SMG doesn't work yet, but Tatsunoko works decently I suppose.

seems mario galaxy is finally fully playable, they fixed the graphics flashing glitch and got the sound working if glitchy. runs full speed without fraps capturing

ignore the annoying guy and the aspect ratio, looks stunning

edit: another high quality vid of it, in 4:3 with no guy http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AOQPRRYN

OMG, smg AND zelda both have sound too!! I wouldn't play these with no sound.

Wow...

Game looks stunning, absolutely stunning.

[bee]

Wii HD indeed

[Kilrogg]

To be honest, I don't find the game any more stunning in 720p than it already was in 480p/i. I don't find it crisper in the video, and in fact, going by the screenshots above my post, the game is uglier in 720p. The 2D HUD and the low-res textures in particular stick out.

I'll keep my 480i SMG, thank you very much.

[OverHeat]

Damn look awesome I wish Nintendo would release this.

.....playing Galaxy on my KURO after seeing this is like torture.

[rocK`]

does the mouse work as the wii controller?

[Ysiadmihi]

Holy shit. This version isn't out yet right?

[[Nintex]]

Too bad half of the shaders are missing, but I really want Super Mario Galaxy HD.

[Jocchan]

HOLY CRAP.

Uh huh.

I call dibs on the 720p version, then!

errrr

[Kilrogg]

Eh, all I'm saying is that I'm not mind-blown by the video and screenshots. But in fairness, it probably helps that I have an SDTV .

[Aadil]

Will brain_stew's budget PCs be sufficient to run this emulator?

[HisshouBuraiKen]

I don't follow, I have an SDTV too and those screens look amazing to me.

[gregor7777]

Wow, those shots are outstanding. Looks 100x better than the Wii does on my HDTV.

[painey]

I played Galaxy on my HDTV and those screens are a thousand times more beautiful and vivid than it on regular Wii. Amazing.

[Kilrogg]

Who said you had to agree with me? I am not impressed. Doesn't mean you shouldn't! I just, you know, voiced my opinion.

Please get your eyes checked. Are you one of those people that thinks upscaled DVDs are on par with blurays?

[EatChildren]

It still doesn't look like it's rendering right. Peaty Piranha is too glossy, and I don't remember him looking that shiny, along with a few things here and there that look like they're missing shaders / not rending correctly.

But overall it's so gorgeous. Nice and crisp. What I'd give for a Wii that outputs at this.

[zbarron]

I would recommend not unlocking any other cores in the CPU and overclocking the existing two cores as high as you can get them. 3.1Ghz is pretty nice but higher is always better.

[Jirotrom]

Hey guys, I need to know where to get a good version of this emulator, and what I need to run and play the games? Those mario Galaxy screens are ridiculous.

[Dabookerman]

Voicing such opinions such as these may be used against you to invalidate any future opinions you may have on anything.

Just so you know.

I don't get it. The textures and hud are still the same but you're just seeing them more clearer now. And on some HDTVs you get image degradation from upscaling. My HDTV doesn't like the Wii, the colors bleed. Other 480i/p consoles work fine. Can't wait to try my gcn and wii games in HD with AA/AF.

You need some kind of bluetooth receiver for your PC. Been using the Classic Controller for all kinds of things. Works great in SF4

It's a sad day when saying you want wii hd is a possible ban offense.

But anyways, I absolutely hope Wii HD comes true.

wiimote is only a bluetooth device, just get a bluetooth dongle and a wireless sensor bar
