GC, Ps2, Or Xbox

What do you think will be emulated at full speed first? IMHO, i think that GC emulation will be emulated at full speed first. From the new screens of Dolphin, it hits 27 FPS. Ps2 has like just hit about 1-18 FPS. As for Xbox, it hasnt run any commercial games yet (has it?). Please post your opinion!

Hmm... why cant I vote? Sez I don't got da privaligez. What the shizzle for hizzle? ;) Word...

My first thought was PS2, and statistically XBOX should be first, but whoever mr/ms/mrs anonymus is working on the GC emulator Dolphin, has made me choose NGC, which is surprising, seeing as it is supposedly the HARDEST to emulate. I still think nintendo is gonna shit a brick.

Xbox. The similarity between it an a regular PC is amazing. Full speed should be (relatively) easy. Mac users will have a MUCH harder time. Full speed Xbox emulation is probably beyond what even the most powerful Macs are capable of now.

PlayStation 2 emulation would probably be next. Although emulation is hardly fast, it's faster than Gamecube emulation. The games should also look fantastic with anti-aliasing enabled. The Mac could be better or worse, they'll probably get one later anyway.

Gamecube should be last. The emulation is accurate, but SLOW. Even with major optimizations, a beefy PC would be required. The Mac could probably emulate it faster, but all work seems focused on the x86 platform, so that'll probably get full speed first.

Of course, the Dreamcast is in the same league and is starting to see some speed increases. I expect to see some big news from Icarus soon. Maybe a dynamic recompiler?

Nobody said it was the hardest to emulate, just the hardest to crack.

FWIW, GCN has the simplest hardware out there today, XB has the most documented hardware, and PS2 has the most 'popular'. It's up in the air as far as I'm concerned. And Dolphin doesn't achieve 27fps in game, I guarantee that much.

And also... what do you mean by full speed? On a 3GHz system? dual 3GHz? Quad 3GHz with Hyper-Threading? All depends how fast your PC is. I'm sure that PS2 emulator could probably be full speed... on Deep Blue.

/closed, because I can and because this is going to go nowhere fast.
