Actually, as has been stated, he's looking for the 'option menu'.

I just bumped back here again after hitting one of the various Wii U threads, and I think I just crapped myself. Fuck'n A.

Since I got a great computer a while ago, I finally got around to playing Zelda Twilight Princess on Dolphin. Game looks great.
I took way more pictures so the rest are in a gallery.

Has anyone actually tried changing Xenoblade's voices in Dolphin? Do you all think I'm some sort of idiot? That I wouldn't check the options at all, after clearly stating that I had tried exhaustively to work this out already? Heads up, I noted that for a reason!
The game completely freaks out when you change the voices to Japanese. Not only do voices not play at all, everything gets surreal.
Enemies walking on ceilings. An enormous Bunniv standing motionless with its back to me where a boss was about to appear. I don't hate the Bri'ish voice acting quite enough to go through the entire game that way (plus, I believe it crashed at cutscenes).
If anyone experiences issues and/or knows of a workaround, please do post it here!

Those aren't mutually exclusive scenarios. Otherwise yes, it works fine. Something is either wrong with the dump of your game or a combination of cheats and settings.
Try starting a new game, with Japanese voices already on (i.e. don't load a save that was in English). If it still throws up errors (they sound hilarious, make some screenshots) it's either bugged or the dump is corrupted.

Man, Twilight Princess has not aged well at all.
And it isn't really helped by the added resolution of an emulator because the polycount and textures just don't hold up. Models still look ok, but stylised games are clearly better off here. Wind Waker showed that, and I'm sure Skyward Sword will stand the test of time as well.

Hey, it's not our fault you posed your question wrong. We answered your question exactly as you asked it.
Anyway, even if you do fix the glitch, I doubt switching to Japanese voices will fix your problem.
The Japanese voices are even worse in battle.

Did only I think you were emulating Ocarina of Time?

Those are bad screenshots.
These are good screenshots. TP looks amazing and in Dolphin I easily prefer it to SS. The architecture and character design in TP are the best in the series.
The resolution of these screens is much lower, though.
Not that it matters much, as you can see plenty of terrible textures in TP even on a Wii/GCN.

I'm sure they'd be fine at higher reses as well.
You can see terrible textures in SS too. WW is probably the only one exempt from that, but it has to deal with low poly stuff (the "forest" on Outset Island being a carboard box.)
It looked really bad artistically, anyway.

Yeah, some of the textures were pretty bad. Though I'm not sure if it was that much worse than the muddy vanilla TP ones. They could have probably tweaked them and they would have been a good alternative.

I'd love to know what makes you think that the high res textures clash with the original artstyle. The idea that anyone can think the first screenshot looks better is so crazy it makes my head hurt.

People actually think the first shot looks better? Crazy talk.

Will someone please give me the link to the page with the HD Wind Waker pic of Link hanging over the boat to pull up a treasure at night? I just searched and searched this thread, but did not see that pic.

So, I decided to try Dolphin 3.0-377, and I noticed how much more stable it is at higher internal resolutions than r7719 (the version I upgraded from). Yet, I notice it seems to crash randomly couple hours into the game or even a couple minutes into the game. I know I never had that problem with r7719, so I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with 3.0 being more crash-prone than other versions.
And for a more specific question, does anyone have any recommended settings for Resident Evil 1 for the music to not get cut off or distorted? The voices are fine in the game, but it is the background music that is barely existent. Overall, the game runs great except for a few audio hiccup.

Is there a more recent tutorial like the one in the OP. Kinda confused at the moment trying to figure out what's what when they've redone the GUI.

I've found that a lot of games have that same problem with background music and audio channels becoming too loud or too soft intermittently. The driver doesn't seem to matter all that much either, though Directsound has a lot of issues anyway.
The only guaranteed fixes I've found involve dumping the raw audio and using LLE.
What specifically are you having trouble with? I setup the latest version a few weeks ago, so maybe I can help.

I think I got it, but now I just got to go through all these pages about how to get a Gamecube-game on a disc to be emulated...

Thanks! Been a bit slow making new content, lack of any beefy updates on Dolphin has made me a little lazier than usual.
It looks like some sort of MotionPlus emulation has officially made it in although I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure exactly what it'd do or not. edit: looks like it's just implemented from this branch's work.

Hey, I know this has probably been asked a million times but what are the ideal settings for Skyward Sword? I just got the Limited edition today (for my birthday) and I want the best settings possible. I loaded it up just before with my current settings and it seemed to be working fairly well, but I noticed a weird texture flicker at the title screen (top of screen)... Thanks.
I have 7719m build.

The only thing I like more in the first screen is the thick grass, which is subjective. The reworked wall and ground textures are objectively better.I'd love to know what makes you think that the high res textures clash with the original artstyle.

They're objectively a higher resolution, but 'better' is a qualitative term that still wouldn't apply. I think the juxtaposition between the realism the textures are trying to get across with the cartoony nature of the geometry that makes up the world is too much (eg, the sign posts/fence poles). It's like an odd step up from those high res Minecraft texture packs

Holy shite, Skyward sword in 2560x1440p is unbelievable...
Adding some AA fixed that weird texture flick btw.

Inconsistent artstyle. It's not a matter of individual textures looking better or worse, but of how they all mesh, together with the rest of the visuals.I'd love to know what makes you think that the high res textures clash with the original artstyle. The idea that anyone can think the first screenshot looks better is so crazy it makes my head hurt.
Anyway, it looks like the texture pack I had in mind was a different one: http://zeldatphd.weebly.com/index.html
(just check the door and the wooden structure around it, a lot sharper but objectively worse looking artistically)
Still, even in the screenshot you posted the textures, while looking better on their own, don't really mesh well with the artstyle used for Link or the sign. Twilight Princess, as a whole, is quite stylized and it's what actually makes some of its character designs so grotesque.

So I just got everything going, barely.
First tried Starfox Assault using default settings as in OP, didn't even start. Only black screen.
Then tried F-Zero GX. I used a lot of different settings that other people have recommended. Got it working, some slowdowns and not really constant 60fps, but it was better than nothing, till it crashed after two laps on Mute City.
Is it because these games are PAL or is there something else here?

F-Zero is just a finnicky game, no real concrete way to get it running 100%. Starfox Assault should just work at the least using default settings. You should only really bother with the specifics of a settings guide if you aren't able to get it up and running normally.

IIRC you need to do something to get Star Fox Assault's first boss fight to work correctly, but other than that you shouldn't have any problems booting it. I was able to play through the first chapter on Dolphin and trudged my way through the first on-foot mission, but then they wanted me to play another on-foot mission so I was like "fuck this" and haven't played it since. It's a shame because the flying mission I played looked gorgeous in Dolphin and played great.

You guys reckon that BlackBeetleKing's pics are touched up? I mean, he sure loves to come in, post a bunch of pics that look way too good without a word at all.
