May I have a cookie?
due to the relatively low clocked CPU there will be some games you won't be able to run at full speed (like F Zero GX, as well as more demanding Wii games), but I believe you should be fine with 90% of GC games and probably 80% of Wii games, running at full speed at 2-3X internal resolution with at least minimal AA/AF. If there are certain Wii games you're particularly interested in running well, I'd ask about them beforehand, so you know what to expect.
Thanks man!

Anyone?
Well you're wrong, FRAPS doesn't report the correct framerate in PCSX2 like it does with Dolphin. And the only way to get a 30 fps game to run at 60 fps is to remove the frame lock with a memory hack, and the only games which have patches available to do this are the Kingdom Hearts games.

Anyone have access to Dragon Quest Swords? Pretty neat and interesting game, im curious to see how it looks on dolphin. Some shots would be great.

Not a dolphin expert by any means but i think that's impossible right now. Factor 5 used a lot of special code to achieve those fantastic results and that doesnt play nice with emulation.
Yeah the dev team need to get on this to get these games working in the next few releases, so bummed that the game still doesn't run on version 4.0

I've just recently heard apparently old news that alpha versions of Dolphin that are in pre-alpha are radically different from mainstream Dolphin. Are much more efficient, and are even capable of running Wii U games.
If that's not a rumor or a prank of any kind, that is incredible. And gives me all the more reason to support the Wii U as a PC gamer. The Wii U is around as powerful as the PlayStation 3, so that fact could give me serious hope for the possibility of rpcs3. It also makes me realize that ports of PlayStation 3 exclusive games that don't have a port to the PC, having a port to the Wii U could be almost as good.
My dream of playing Tales of Xillia on the PC could become a reality. Along with other, similar PlayStation 3 exclusive games. I would love to see how Tales of Xillia looks in 1080p.
The more games that reach the Wii U, the more games could be emulatable someday. Also, it sounds like they're making the emulator so efficient that it is running surprisingly well on Tegra 4 systems. So not just higher end PCs, but lower end PCs and even mobile devices could be running all sorts of Nintendo games soon.
If any of this is true, I'm personally really, very impressed. I'd prefer if games got legitimate PC ports. But this is the next best thing.

Dolphin has absolutely zero support for WiiU.

So does that make this a joke?
Because they do say they have experimental Wii U support.
Edit: Upon further research, it's apparently a prank. Don't I feel silly now.Shonumi said:

Makes more sense for games that you can't already play natively on PC.
For Windows 7 Dolphin directory is now:
C:\Users\{User}\My Documents\Dolphin Emulator
Textures go in:
...\Load\Textures\{GameID}
European LOZ:WW has the ID: GZLP01
Also make sure all textures are correctly named, when I downloaded the textures they were for the US version which had a different ID.

Amazing. And once again something that disproves the ongoing myth (that I used to believe myself) that DX should be a lot more efficient than OGL.

Thanks for quoting that bit on OpenGL-- I have a Nvidia card, so I will definitely be using it.
And I know I'm late to the party, but holy hell Sonic Colors finally runs like a fucking champ. I got it at 720p with 8x AA. I'm tempting to crank it up more, but it looks gorgeous at the moment and my FPS is a solid 28-30 (mostly 30)

It depends on the game.

Dolphin sure needs AVX and better multicore threading.

Also, does anyone know what does this mean?

So what is thye best CPU that has the most compatibility, let me get this straight so a 4670k @ 4.4 won't ,atch the compatiblity on the official website

From my experience with a 3570k@4.4, it'll be just fine for most. There are however a few games that are still stupidly demanding and need some kind of future space computer for good results.
