Shouldn't really be that difficult to get the game running. I never finished my play through, but a quick search on the Dolphin forums shows that the game should run but music still loops incorrectly and there is no Microphone support at the moment. The default performance settings guide should work fine with the game.

Excellent.

Can't wait to replay this.

I still have my gamecube, but I don't have enough places to set it up on my TV.

I know what I'm doing when I finish work today :D

Holy shit I agree, just like they implemented the Gamecube emulator in the Wii!

Well if they go Flipper->Hollywood->?? (similar GPU), I'm sure the hardware will be able to achieve full BC w/ up-scaling and improved AA. Do it Nintendo! The ability to play my GC games was one of the reasons I bought the Wii.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Guys, what if they port Dolphin to Dolphin? Then it'd be re-rendering 1080p visuals instead of 480p. OMG.

Of course some of you geniuses still won't understand so let me help you visualize it:

You know what's even better, they should include Dolphin on the DS. Someone is already working on it, and I'm sure Nintendo themselves would get even better results at porting this to the DS.

Check out more information on this ambitious project!

Just a bit of optimization and it should run great!

Now to dump Melee and see how it looks, if people were able to run it at full speed in 2006, I better be able to!

Wait Ocarina of Time? You are probably better off playing the N64 version of it on Project 64 rather than with that 4 pack gamecube disc.

i have no n64 carts to rip and a neurotic distrust for downloaded roms.

Currently rocking a i5 760 @ 3.4 ghz, when I get off my ass next week and install my aftermarket cooler I'm gonna take the bitch up to 4. Also, 4 gb of DDR3 (goes without saying) ram which will be upgraded around christmas to 2 4 gb sticks, and an Nvidia 460 gtx 1 gb.

But it also killed my PS/2 keyboard. A wired one :lol+


Got my keyboard and PS3 controller working at the same time...

But having one odd graphical glitch with Chibi Robo

Randomly stuff will be all black in the distance.

And the music will sometimes not loop right, or go dead on the right channel.

Edit: got the black textures resolved, but now a small problem...

When you go to hop up something, there's a bar that pops up and fills up... But now it's just a 1 pixel thin line.

quick question: playing metroid prime 2 using my PS3 controller, but when trying to use the left analog stick it's acting as if it's being pressed to the left, and i am stuck turning. since then i've started using the d-pad, but i'd love to switch back to the analog stick. any fix for this or reason why it's happening? also, two quick screens i took to show off the graphics:

Running the Prime games in HD actually reveals just how low their polygon counts were... Still looks decent though.
I really hope they can get the Rogue Squadron games running well soon

what's the widescreen hack? i only just installed this, give me a break...

Should be a checkbox around where you choose the aspect ratio, but then again I'm basing it on an old build, it may have been moved somewhere else.

Calm down Emu-GAF, The Metroid Prime 1 and 2 games aren't built with 16:9 in mind, they will support Progressive scan but since its Dolphin emulating on a PC then its already natively progressive scan, what i mean is...

If he forces the wide-screen hack, the edges of the screens will have missing geometry, since the game's engine is built to occlude (dissapear) certain geometry when it is out of range of the center 4:3 screenspace border.

Which is why I also suggest locking the aspect ratio.

As per 6563 Sonic Colours should finally work without black screening :D. Except a guide in a day or two if the patch works (Should also update the Epic Mickey one)

Going through NMH2 again. Seems like they fixed the janky colour filtering from the older builds

What's your opinion of NMH2 in comparison with NMH? I still haven't bought it because I kept hearing it wasn't as good as 1, but it's been down around 20$ for a while now, I might pick it up.

Haha, it's crazy how good so many of these screenshots look.
NMH is pretty ugly though.
No resolution upgrades will fix that...

If anyone out there isn't too busy, I'd love an HD capture of this loading still from Epic Mickey.
It's right in the beginning of the game, I want to use it as a wallpaper.

I'd love it in 1080p, though it probably doesnt matter since it's just a still.
Been playing EM non-stop, pretty fantastic game imo.

Definitely a much better game than the first. More to do, none of the needless open world. Some of the minigames for leveling aren't too shabby. Also the CC controls are great, I don't see how they messed them up for Heroes' Paradise.

Following my completion of the game, I have some Donkey Kong Country Returns screen shots that I would like share in this thread that I hope you guys will enjoy. I've been playing it at 1080p using OpenGL with 16x Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) and 16x Anistropic Filter as well loading 'hires textures', as a result it really looks beautiful. It also runs virtually flawlessly so I'd highly recommend trying it on your own PC, if you've bought it on your Nintendo Wii. Just to give you an idea of the specs required to run it like this at a locked 60FPS I've posted mine below:

Processor: Intel Core i7 920 (Overclocked to 3.8GHz),
Motherboard: Asus Rampage II
RAM: 6GB Corsair XMS DDR3
Graphics Card: ATi Radeon HD5850 Black (Overclocked) Edition

My 1080p Donkey Kong Country Returns screen shots below:
