Damn. This thread is exactly why Nintendo needs a WiiHD or something.
Yes, some nut is trying to port the eninge to the PS3 despite the offical devlopers deaming it impossible to run well and not supporting or helping with it in the slightest. Not only is it already CPU heavy, it is built for x86 based processors, so while it is possible to get it running on a PS3, it will likely run really really poorly.gregor7777 said:
I do like how Dolphin does pass rendering to the GPU though, while PCSX2 does most of the rendering with the CPU. I also like how Dolphin doesn't need Gamecube Bios, and often has several revisions a day.
I mean, look at what PCSX2 wants from a GPU, and this is a current, upto date version.

I wish the guy luck. If you look at some of his other projects, they are emulator ports so at least he has the history.
Still, for some of the reasons you mentioned I can't see this happening.
The man ported an NES and a GBA emulator. Programing Hobiest often make working NES emulators as a fun exercise for learning assembly in comparason. The Gamecube and the Gameboy Advance are in different leagues of complexity.
Heck, his Google Code page is basically empty after two months to boot.

Also, why the fuck would anyone want to use the DualShock 3 for Gamecube games.

Yeah, that's what I commented on earlier.
The PS3 simply does not have the horsepower to emulate a system as complex as the Wii/Gamecube. Not in any useful fashion at least. And certainly not by wrapping x86 code.
He'd have to essentially rewrite the entire engine and even then work around the gimped hardware in the PS3. Not going to happen.
The Dualshock's analog sticks are actually a better then the ones in the 360 Controllers IMO. I have to set the deadzone to 360 controller analog sticks to about 25% due to the stick not returning to the center (And this is with testing 3 controllers of diffrent ages and wear, I think I could tighten it some but it needs at least a 15% deadzone), but the 360 Controller has better overall layout and supports rumble which I can't easily get with a Gamecube Controller on a PC.Stallion Free said:
I have a feeling, now that I've ported more of my games to my PC - that the slow down and plugin failures are more to do with the emulator than my PC spec's. I can happily run any game at 720p at 30/60 fps/vps with no load stutter, but in Last Story the game creaks to a halt on almost any resolution.
Hopefully some sort of support will occur before a English version comes out, if any English version comes out. I'm not getting back to my house for another couple of months...

DualShock3 for Cube i will never know, but a Dualshock2 for Wii* is insanely cheaper than a classic controler these days =P
*Well .. theoricaly if you use it with dolphin you could use with cube games too ... but it is easier to get a ps2 to usb =P

I'm not saying I agree with them. I personally can't stand the Dual Shock, it's very uncomfortable, the D-Pad is terrible, the face buttons are too hard and too slow, and those 'wings' stab the center of my palms like knives. It's a very dated controller that it's only reason for existence was to find a way to get more button capacity than an N64 controller while at the same time still being compatible with older PS1 games.
But anyway, if your hand was adjusted to it, probably by playing Playstation systems more than the others, then I can see why it would be tough for some to get out of it and adjust to other controllers. After all, it has a ton of buttons, and it allows for proper 2D gaming with the D-Pad as the main input.

I don't think very many people here would have a Mario Kart Arcade machine, and even if you did, how are you supposed to rip from it?Drkirby said:

Still blurry compared to your first two screenshots. Don't know which setting you've got wrong, though (it used to be the original resolution tab).desu said:

If only for emulation pass on both. Laptops aren't that suitable for heavy emulation since they usually miss the raw power needed to run most games. You will be severely limited by the CPU on both of your choices. I think you will be able to run some games and even some 3D games (Tales of Symphonia 2, maybe NSMB) but games like Super Mario Galaxy and Zelda TP are out of the question.
JADS said:
really.
Are those specs worse than my current laptop:Intel Core2 Duo P8400 2.26 Ghz
4 Gigs of Ram
Geforce 9600m GS
I am able to run NSMB and TvsC at 30 FPS on it... But I hope to play PoP The Forgotten Sands on it... But its too slow to run it.
Honestly I don't play that many games though so its mostly for my parents. Would you go with the first one or the second choice?
Those are Dell Zinos as well - something that is compact and light.
Killer 7 works now!
Ikaruga has no sprite drawing problems!
Rogue Leader boots and almost gets to the first level, with a lot of problems
Rebel Strike boots but gets nowhere!
Maybe I should try to help fix up widescreen mode HUD, effects/frustrum culling in Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Mario Sunshine...

Anyone try to use the PS3 controller with Dolphin (using unofficial Dual Shock 3 drivers for Windows)?

Took me forever to get HBC to run on my 4.3 version Wii, but I'd say it was worth it.
For the most part, games run at near full speed, though the cutscenes in a lot of them seem to run a bit slow.

The game supports the Classic Controller. So, you can select that in your Wiimote configuration tab in Dolphin, and then map buttons to your keyboard (or Xbox360 controller).ferr said:
Killer7 is one of the few games with a good plot and well-directed cutscenes. I'd love to replay the game in Dolphin, but not without the cutscenes.Wii said:

So there's no way to rip GC games from a DVD drive correct?

So, I just found a speed hack for No More Heroes 2 that makes it run pretty much perfectly at 30FPS.
