Yes, just overclock that bad boy to 4ghz or so and you should be able to run it at full speed with LLE (needed to fix the audio glitches).

 

[canocha]

Nice,

I think the motherboard has a switch to do that!

No more jaggies, unless they're from Monster Hunter Tri!

Thanks!

 

[Thrakier]

I got a i5 2400 with a 6850 GFX and 8 gig RAM. No option to overclock with my mainboard and boxed cooler. Is it enough to play through SMG2 with shiny graphics? Even if it's not running @60 frames but on...let's say...40?

 

[EatChildren]

So, I want to play Twilight Princess, Wii version. Any tips or tricks I should be aware of before booting it up?

 

[jediyoshi]

Why the hell would you disable pointer controls? Is the Wii version even playable without them?

The ingame option. It's so you can use the analog stick to aim instead of the pointer.

 

[senador]

Welp, I'm really surprised. I recently got a Macbook pro 13inch and I'm playing Twilight Princess GC on double resolution with almost no dips. It's fantastic. My only complaint is that the widescreen mode makes the water act crazy.

Also, are there any TP texture mods out there? I saw one high res pack, but I'm not really sure on how to get that working.

Wah?

Did you compile/build Dolphin yourself?

When I tried TP on Dolphin Mac it had some problems. I couldn't get the framerate to be steady, but I also had some major issues with faces and shadows. It totally ruined people's faces and shadows just become odd dark splotches.

Gimme details mang!

Remind me, why capcom's HD port isn't like this?

That's not surprising. I had to play around with the settings while running WW, but I got it to work perfectly. Here's what I found out:

I don't know too much about these settings, but apparently the ebf copies were killing my ram. I turned off use of actual ram, and turned on the virtual. If anyone can elaborate on what ebf copies means/does, it would be appreciated.

After I did that, Wind Waker ran as smooth as butter. No graphical errors or anything. Same for TP. I'm not sure on what could be causing the shadow glitches, but I'm pretty sure this will fix your framerate.

Zeruda no Densetsu Towairaito Purinsesu. Playing through it again because why the fuck not. Forest Temple just finished. Shots downscaled from 1080p.

 

[Quicksilver4648]

This.. This is beautiful. I need to get Dolphin working on my computer again. For some reason all of the .iso files I had stopped working on it.

 

[nincompoop]

Wow @ that interior shot. Remind me why people complain about TP's textures again? I've been meaning to get around to a TP Dolphin full playthrough, and those shots might just convince me to do it.

 

[EatChildren]

Last ones for now. I didn't take any from the inside of the Forest Temple, beyond the boss battle, for reasons beyond me. Oh well.

 

[snesfreak]

I REALLY need to build a new PC, wanna play Zelda in HD so bad.

Cause they're like straight out of 1996, or something.

Anyone else have issues when using the pointer with the real wiimote? For some reason, I suddenly have to be extremely close to the sensor bar for the pointer to even work. I didn't have this problem when I first used it, but after I changed the IR sensitivity and the Top/bottom options a few times, the pointer basically stopped working properly or at all.

 

[oatmeal]

Zelda TP looks great.

What do you guys use for sensor? A wireless?

[I should be doing hw]

Does Twilight Princess Wii version run any differently than the GC version on Dolphin? Which would be recommended overall? I have the GC version, but wouldn't mind buying the Wii one if it runs or looks slightly better in any way.

Damn, I wish they kept that art style for SS. Just add some better textures and it would be stellar.

 

[Xane]

Hahaha, I like the look on Links face.

Wii version supports widescreen.

[peppermints]

So let me get this straight..

For Twilight Princess I could disable pointer controls then just map waggle to buttons on my PS3 controller and I could play the Wii version through Dolphin without a Wiimote?

 

[HooYaH]

I want.

What graphics card do you have in your Mac?

I found what is causing my issues. It seems to be Nvidia related. There's a ticket opened on it: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=3892

The images in that link are exactly how I see them too.

Another one: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=4823&q=twilight%20princess

Anyone else experience this?

 

[EatChildren]

Fire Temple finished. Had two crashes during that playtime. First was right after finishing the Kakariko Village tears hunt, which made me fume. There's bits and pieces of various Zelda games that annoying me, but that specific tears hunt has always pissed me off. It so unbelievably bland. That made me paranoid so I was saving / save stating like a mother fucker, so the second crash, right before the boss room in the Fire Temple, wasn't bad.

Excuse all the amount of pics (and my photography).

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Man Twilight Princess benefits massively from HD. It's a fantastic looking game and easily amongst the GCN's very best.

So much of its beauty is hidden underneath that low res/16bit colour rendering.

BTW, Dolphin still doesn't correctly emulate the depth of field or heat wave effects does it?

 

[EatChildren]

I'm not sure why, but the heat distortion hasn't shown up in any of the captures. It's there during gameplay though.

 

[Medalion]

Yep, Twilight Princess should've came out on the Wii-U

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

I'm not sure why, but the heat distortion hasn't shown up in any of the captures. It's there during gameplay though.

Does it still render the heat wave part of the scene in low res? Or is it working properly now?

I remember people disabling the depth of field effects in Wind Waker because the emulator was rendering those parts in SD. Is that working properly now?

Wind Waker DOP and heat waves are all funky, and I know of no fix. Most people just disable them. Twilight Princess on the other hand, as far as my eyes can tell, looks literally exactly the same as the GCN/Wii build...in HD. All the effects and upscale just as they should. The heat distortion looks lovely, and on individual props (eg: torches) doesn't glitch out at all.

Huh, bizzare! I would've thought that the DOF/Heat Wave effects would've been the same in both games considering that TP is built on Wind Waker's engine.

What settings are you using? I just gave this a try and my map is just a distorted bunch of different colored pixels, and the bloom effect is off. It looks like its just duplicating the things that have bloom on them.

You need to use DX9 rendered for the map to work, and set EFB Copies (under hacks) to RAM instead of Texture. That should fix the map.

Bloom I don't know. It's not too bad for me, but its quite temperamental and sometimes does the 'doubling' effect. It never really bothered me though and only seems to happen in some instances.

 

[StevieP]

There are moments of "holy shit awesome" in TP in 1080p, but there are also textures that (honestly) look like a muddy shit stain fart. These look even worse when uprendered.

That said, I just recently did the same thing EatChildren did, and Twilight Princess Wii still holds up in many ways. Textures are not one of those ways. It was a GC game through-and-through.

I'm a big noob with this Dolphin stuff, but wouldn't there be a way to disable all that bloom/HDR in Twilight Princess?

It's used waaaaay too much (IMO) in the game...

You can pick out bad textures in every game from last gen (and hell, most games from this gen too). But there are very few games from last gen which have ANY scenes with textures as sharp as the ones in a few of EatChildren's shots.

 

[Gvaz]

What are you talking about, most of those shots look blurry, some of the textures included.

Also can you play TP with a keyboard mouse? I'd like to use the mouse to aim instead of a controller or w/e

Yeah, just change the settings in "Wiimote" to emulated -- click configure -- and under the device section -- click the down arrow and set it to "keyboard and mouse", then make whatever changes you want.


To anyone that was having issues with the pointer (probably just me); make sure you put a check in the box next to "Wiimote Motor". If you don't, the pointer won't work properly when you're using the black wiimote plus.

Yeah, even in Xenoblade, it's constantly going back and forth between OMG those textures look better than some HD games, and OMG those textures look like blur.

 

[The Boat]

God fucking damnit I love TP. I need a new PC.

 

[jediyoshi]

There are moments of "holy shit awesome" in TP in 1080p, but there are also textures that (honestly) look like a muddy shit stain fart. These look even worse when uprendered.

Using that logic, there's theoretically a resolution and screen size that Crysis would look bad at.

 

[jett]

Why does no one ever post pictures of the Twilight Castle(or whatever it was called, the next to last dungeon)? By far the best looking part of the game. Would like to see how it looks in HD.

 

[Stallion Free]

Get to work Eatchildren lol.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Does any game allow for high-res textures to be decompressed on Dolphin? I'd love to see how games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle look, hell someone did that for SADX:

Which would be better to play on Dolphin. Twilight Princess GC or Wii version. What improvements does the Wii version have?
