There's a Dolphin forum thread that details the
I feel dumb that I can't figure out what he has taken apart there.
Can you tell me where you are getting the Wii hardware from? I'd be interested in having a crack at this.I'm just trying to make my own for fun and because it seems like a simple enough project. I'd be more wary of trying if it was expensive but the fact that it is about as cheap as a regular bluetooth dongle sealed it.
Looks like I can easily add a physical sync button to this thing. If only I had some 3D printing knowledge I could actually make a little enclosure for it
I was thinking more along the lines of making a Dophin-bar alternative. Got all the spare bits/3D printing/board etching tools available.
Thinking about it, Just modding the Dolphin Bar with the new chip shouldn't be too difficult. LEDs usually run on 3.3V so it would basically need a 5V (USB) to 3.3V in it you could use. Then you can basically bypass most of its guts and just power the LEDs and wi-fi chip if space allows.
Dolphin is available for OSX though.
On my 15" MBP (the one that is now getting replaced, fully configured variant) dolphin results are middling to bad. My point of comparison is a desktop with a 6700K @4.5GHz and a 980Ti though.
Intel stopped using the name "Atom" and gives Atom-derived CPUs the nostalgic name "Celeron" and "Pentium" nowadays. One shouldn't expect big improvements in that area (aside power efficiency). Looking at cpubenchmark.net the latter actually has the same power per clock, difference being that it clocks up to 2.6 GHz instead only 1.8 GHz. Personally I don't think it's worth that price (you can get older CPUs like the Core2-derived Celeron 1037U with double the single thread performance for less), but if you like what's shown in the video (and don't plan to play any more demanding games) I guess you can go ahead.
Thanks for the reply.
I tried playing it after playing with some settings and I'm getting occasional hiccups. Firing the shotgun in the intro does it.
Thanks for the reply.
I don't want to mess with the internal resolution and all that, don't trust that there won't be glitches and artifacts.
How can you say that with certainty? From my experience with PS2 emulation, that was the case for some games. I'd rather have a vanilla experience than have to deal with any other issues that might crop up.
People like to avoid the shader compilation induced stuttering by using the ishiiruka's dolphin builds instead. Those come with their own set of issues though.
I read that too. I'm a little confused on whether playing with the same Dolphin build will over time lead to less stuttering, on a per game basis. They are making progress on an "ubershader" project to remedy the situation. \
PS2 emulation and GCN emulation are completely different beasts. It's really difficult to get accurate emulation with custom resolutions for the PS2. The PCSXE2 implementation is also very naive and hacky in nature.
That's good to know. Thank you.
The shader cache is game as well as driver/hardware dependent. Maintaining such a resource in its current implementation wouldn't work.
It has several different modes. One to use it as originally intended with programs like Dolphin. Or you can use it to control your mouse weirdly. Or you can have the button presses act like keyboard presses so you can use it more generically.
