I'll try that next time I have some free time, thanks for the tip.

I use D3D11 mainly for skyward sword. But for old cube games I play mainly, I use D9.

Those screens make me almost want to play Other M again. Damn.
Really nice pic!
Cool pics overall, but I really liked that one because of the close-up to Samus.

Maybe for simple games, but honestly I don't see stuff like the Metroids and Zeldas running good on that hardware

Sorry, but not with those specs. Even simple games like NSMB are going to lag. You need a CPU clocked at least 3.5-4GHZ to run games decently, preferably an Intel.
Capcom still has top-notch modelers, they were just one of the first studios to "get it".
Have a question.
I want to play Xenoblade Chronicles but not on the CRT that is the only display my Wii will connect to. From reading a few FAQs a stuff, it sounds like I can download Dolphin, and boot a copy of XC off my DVD drive? Would I then just fin a USB adapter for my controller?
Also, will my laptop even run XC?

Although your CPU is slightly on the weak side (2.4ghz) I guess you could overclock it. Xenoblade is particularly demanding, but if you don't care about a few frame drops you'll be OK.
You won't, however, be able to boot the XC disc from your DVD drive. You will have to rip it via your Wii (I believe there is a guide at the beginning of this thread).
In regards to connecting your controller, you will need a bluetooth adapter on your laptop - not USB. For any games that require the sensor bar, it's best to get one of many wireless ones and use that.
Sound "fixes" are achieved with the more accurate LLE in place of HLE. Those acronyms stand for "Low Level Emulation" and "High Level Emulation" respectively, and the former is naturally much more processing intensive. Hence the CPU most often is the bottleneck for this emulator.

Can Xenoblade be played with a 360 controller?
Absolutely.
Yes, or a Dualshock 3 emulated as a 360 controller through MotioninJoy. Works like a gem.

Quick question about Dolphin.
Does it allow me to use just a classic controller? I really don't like using the Wiimote at all. Can I play games like Xenoblade and such with a classic controller or do I have to use a Wiimote?

You can use the Classic Controller if you want even for games that don't normally support it. I'm even using a 360 controller to play Fatal Frame 4 right now.

0_0 now that is amazing. I won't need to hook up the sensor bar in that case which is great.
I am finally finishing this thing right now.

Just bought S&P2 yesterday and started it today and wow does this game look good! 
Anyone able to grab some shots of the bosses such as the bird in the first stage as well as the giant turtle thing as well? Same goes for that tiger boss where it's chasing you, I didn't get to that part yet, but I've seen it in screens and it looks wicked.
Yeah, I didn't get their names, thanks for showing them in the game Nintendo... NOT! XD
Oh, and please make sure all the graphical aspects are there (such as lighting and effects, etc), so for screen purposes, framerates don't matter, just make sure it's all as it should be.

How does this work? I haven't had a chance to toy around with it too much, but will be when Xenoblade comes out.

Dolphin will just recognize the gamepad when its connected. You select what kind of controller you want it to think is connected (Wiimote with a Classic Controller attached in this case) and then the rest is just like binding keys to a normal PC game.

Dolphin works on mac ?,the perfomance is the same or worse than on windows ?
Can't comment on the comparison, but I get fullspeed on most of my games at 1080p. Galaxy has a bit of trouble. Playable fullspeed at 480p, but not HD.
Mind posting your settings for Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess, if you can run them?
Probably yea.
Probably? wtf how demanding are these things?

Performance is more on a per game basis, so it just depends.

Is there a real "dumby" guide for setting up Dolphin and playing Xenoblade? The "even if you're really dumb" guide still requires way too much research. I don't give a fuck about any settings or tinkering with stuff or whatever, I just want to play this game. If there is a guide somewhere explaining exactly what to do, step by step, to just get the game up and running quickly as possible that would be great. I really want to play it!

I really want to play it!Graphics card is almost irrelevant, it's all in the processor and Intel is king there. A 2500/2600k @ 4.5 GHz will be able to run many games perfectly, but I'm not sure about your AMD.
Bulldozer at that rate should be OK.

Eh, I don't know. Just because the clock speed is on par with a Sandy Bridge doesn't mean it'll achieve the same performance. Still, I'd like to see how Bulldozer runs Dolphin.
Hi Gaf will my pc run dolphin alright?
amd athlon x4 2.8ghz
4gb ddr2

Want to play xenoblade
Doubt it.
fuuuu
Yes
Uhh so i can run dolphin but the configs for xenoblade will give me problems?
Pretty much. You should be able to run

Question:
My Wii up and died on me last week and I have no intention of buying another one. With that said, I'm looking for a DVD drive that can read Wii discs and all the lists of models I see are LG brand drives, but the lists are all from 2007/2008. Is there a more up to date listing somewhere online so I'm not searching through model numbers that are 4-5 years old and may not be in stock or may have better versions available?
