Yep, have fun and post comments below!!

http://www.dolphin-emu.com/

Dolphin Team is:
Main coders: F|RES, me
Some dynarec code: schibo

[Teamz]

I knew for F|res, but not for you and schibo,

amazing work guys :)

[sheik124]

Wow

[[vEX]]

Good work :)

[Trotterwatch]

I guessed two but not the third, lol

Just tested this out and found to my suprise that it works fine with a Radeon 8500 (slow but booted demos). That'll do me for now.

cause once the n64 is fully emulated than the next step would be the gc! every coder just have to something to do.

any how great work dolphin team! :)

can't wait to try it out some day.

[loleoc]

Schibo working in a gc emulator!! He is an excellent programmer (Look at 1964). :freak: :freak: :freak:

*points at trotter watch and laughs "you were wrong" ;)*
^remember that irc discussion we had, thats what i'm laughing about.

[Hexidecimal]

Not to put a damper on things, this is truly amazing, but I have one question, Is ISO format planned for future support or will it be DOL/ELF/GCM only?

[NeTo]

Congrats to the emu authors!! Keep up the good job. I'm so amazed i can't say more...

You actually believe that Trotter was being serious back then? :blink:

[CpU MasteR]

This is first, the emulator runs some commercial games, at a decent speed. ;)

I am going to pick at this all night :D

Congrats to F|RES, schibo, and ector. :)

[ScottJC]

You really think i'm being serious now? :w00t:

[Lynx]

Great work guys, this is an amazing star-dev team! SHINE GET!!!
I hope or9 will have something for everyone soon too.

[Eagle]

Well I was wrong on my guess, here I thought it was Azimer.

[Stezo2k]

Is ISO format planned for future support or will it be DOL/ELF/GCM only?

yeah ISOS work fine, just rename them to .gcm and they work ok, least it did for double dash... too bad it isn't very playable

[bositman]

Great work :)
I must say i am amazed at the level this emulator has reached so soon! Keep it up :D

[Hexidecimal]

wow, funny that renaming them to GCM works perfectly, boy am I glad I got a new video card after christmas now, amazing work fellas, simply amazing.

[madprofessor]

Amazing release!!! :bounce: :drool:

[WildSOfT]

F|REs, ector, shibo, congratulations on such a fantastic release!!!

Hope you keep working on this project until it gets as good as the N64 emus are today ;)

Good luck!

[Xeon3D]

I'm glad GC Emulation got to this point.

I am no supporter of New Generation Console "Emulation-that-runs-commercial-games", but still I'm glad progress has been made to this point, and I hope it'll continue growing at this rate.

I do prefer to emulate old consoles like the Genesis \ SNES and most of those aren't even fully emulated now.

Anyways I'm just going off the main topic here, so congratulations to Ector, Schibo and F|res.

I really miss my Zophar Domain's days..

[Ichtob]

@Stezo2k

too bad it isn't very playable

lol... you think you can play it with your GF3? :\
remember its a Teaser too
and 2600 mh won´t be enough

[Stezo2k]

@Stezo2k

lol... you think you can play it with your GF3? :\

and 2600 mh won´t be enough

yeah i do, i have ran many things full speed with it, don't underestermate it, all the latest pc games work fine with it, don't forget my rig isn't low spec yet

3000+ PR rating doesn't mean you can run it full speed either, so quit flaming

[Seasomeor]

All I have to do now is search... I have a decent machine if I can say soo myself... I have to see how well this works :unsure:

[YoungLink]

Well I am facing a LOT of DLL problems on installing. e.g. d3d9.dll, ddraw.dll, kernel32.dll, etc

[Clements]

Well I am facing a LOT of DLL problems on installing. e.g. d3d9.dll, ddraw.dll, kernel32.dll, etc

Make sure you have Windows 2000/XP and you have DirectX 9.0b installed [properly].

d3d9.dll and ddraw.dll are files associated with DirectX (9)

[YoungLink]

Now I have problems on kernel32.dll - Can anyone zip that file, upload it and give it to me? I tried a few DLL sites but those Kernel32.dll's don't work!

[Clements]

Do you have Windows 2000/XP? If you haven't then that's the problem.

If you do have 2000/XP, the problem could be almost anything including a Virus attack.

[Doomulation]

I'll simply say one thing: you can't replace that file. It's the core of windows ;)
Prolly, you have an old OS.

[YoungLink]

I use Windows XP Pro, but it is not in US English. Is that the problem? Also, I did NOT say I'll copy the dll file(s) into the SYSTEM32 folder but the folder of the setup file.

[Rashael]

It shouldn't matter what language you are using. Over half of the people who use Dolphin dont use US English.

[YoungLink]

It shouldn't matter what language you are using. Over half of the people who use Dolphin dont use US English.
But I am using a Chinese Version, unlike that of other people, Chinese charaters ars double-byted.

Anyway, can anyone archive kernel.dll into a zip, upload it and send it to my mailbox at kq4424@hkbn.net It should be below 400KB, so just send it!

A window popup appear, saying
Can't find "program input point" MakeCriticalSectionGlobal at Kernel32.dll
In addition, Chinese kernel32 is 1.08MB while English one is only 460KB. I've downloaded that file from a DLL site but it doesn't work!

[puntloos]

Strangely I couldn't find this anywhere.. My question, quite an obvious one, is:

What performance will the reasonably optimized 'final' version of this emulator reach

I.e. can someone give me a ballpark system spec that will be able to do in emulation what a GC does for real? Anandtech says currently 4.5fps is about what you get on windwaker, what will be a fair guess for the Real Thing(tm)

[kage]

I think the reason you haven't been able to find that answer is simply because even the authors dont know. Obviously they strive to have as many games as they can running, and at a fully playable speed I'm sure. However, because they have not yet achieved that goal, I don't think anyone knows where this emu will get to.

Given enough time, and the AMAZING work the authors have done so far, I really do expect close to total emulation (full fps with little to no graphic problems), but I don't think anyone knows exactly how long that will take.

I hope that help puntloos.

:ninja:

[YoungLink]

So.... Maybe I'll try it after I install Longhorn....maybe.

[puntloos]

Thanks Kage, you're prolly right.

Although it's also usually true that programmers have some insight in what components of their systems are in 'bad' need of optimizing. Obviously at this stage no 'final' estimate can be given, but perhaps a ballpark is possible for the anxiously curious like myself :P

[Dark_Raziel]

Hello all,

I'm a GNU/Linux user and i would like to know if you are in tend to release any Linux version of dolphin :linux:
I've a website dedicaced on Emulation and games onto Linux :
http://www.darkworld.gnurus.org (in french cause i am)
and i will be very happy to add your emulator to the list of kick asses emulators :))

PS : sorry for my pathetic english...

[ector]

I have extremely little time at the moment and so no time to work on Dolphin right now. Don't expect any progress for a while, at least not from me.
Anyhow here are some answers:
Linux Version: Nope, at least not anytime soon. The graphics plugin depends on Direct3D9 since it's the superior 3D API. OpenGL is such a mess in my opinion, and I'm writing the graphics plugin :)
Speed: The only thing I can say for sure is that it can become quite a bit faster but don't expect to play Wind Waker realtime on today's computers.
About the chinese DLL problems: The next version will probably be compiled with #define UNICODE so hopefully these problems will disappear.

I can't make any promises if and when anything of the above will happen. If we have the free time and regain motivation, it will happen, otherwise not. Dolphin is just a free-time project for fun :)

Any plans on releasing the source if you guys find that you just don't have the time anymore.... It'd be a shame to let (what you have so far) go to waste, should you decided to leave it be.... :(

[kage]

Hey ector, I totally understand if you dont have time to continue on Dolphin at the moment, I'm just wondering, on the Dolphin Homepage it also lists F|RES and schibo. Are they continueing their work, or is everything gonna grind to a halt for now?

If thats too nosey of a question, I apologize.

I hope to still see you on the boards. :)

PS;
How long did you help the Icarus team, and have you been involved in other projects as well in the past (that I may have heard of...??)

:ninja:

[FiRES]

we havnt done any real progress since the release.
i am very busy with my job atm...
btw no progress isnt something new for the project. iirc we havnt program anything last october too :)
dolphin is just another "just for fun" project and not the sense of life :)

cheers F|RES

[ector]

kage, the only "big" emus i've been on are Icarus for five-six months or so (where I only did plugins) and Dolphin (where I did a quite a bit of core stuff and most of the user interface in addition to the DX graphics and input plugins). I've written a couple of very small emu:s of already emulated 8-bit computers for myself before, but they were rubbish, you don't want to see them I promise :)

loki, the source or parts of it might be released sometime in the future but we haven't decided anything yet.

Poor younglink, you cannot replace the core of windows itself.

Ector, I'm glad you haven't left the scene altogether, I only recently put 2 + 2 together and noticed your "help" with another GameCube Emu Ninphin. I think it's a great idea that the different emu authors are working together (Especially when they are trying to emulate the same thing!).

Best of luck again to you guys.

:ninja:

[Dysprosium]

Best of luck again to you guys.

Yeah. Do emulation proud! You're doing an excellent job as it is. :teehee:

[Lik-Lik 123]

Emulate is fun,emulate is funny
All the people emulate for mony
if you think That emulate is funny
emulate bay youre self and keep youre mony!

Good luck dolphin team! I hope you will keep working on the project. :)

wtf are you talking all the time?!
Should that mean that emulation is only something to save money in your mind? (don't forget the "e" in "money" ;D) If it is so, you should be warned that it is illegal to download games and run them on dolphin/dolwin/and so on without owning the copy of the software (which means that you have to go to your games-shop and buy the games you like) only to inform you...

If i got you wrong... sorry ;D

Sorry for being OT, but I never knew you were a moderator. When did you receive your 'knighthood'?

On topic, Lik-lik 123, you aren't gonna get any respect by spamming on a sticky! It ain't big and it certainly ain't clever!! :getlost:

[Bomber2k]

Hey, I'm new at this forum site :)

Actually, I've been here quite a while and read many of posts at these forums (including more than just about this emulator).

... been into emulation off and on since 2000 and used to run a roms site...

Anyway, I really like the emulator the team has created. Thanks to all the ppl who are working on it, it's awesome! Also good work Jabo, I also know you worked on pj64 back in the days :)

Keep up the good work, lol don't let it turn out like HLE from all the nub questions that bug u all ;)

[jareg]

and used to run a roms site...

Mhm interesting
Anyway this forum does not support piracy :whistling

And yeah welcome to the board :)

[50cent]

good evening ahh is new emulator comming ahh sorry about my english :blush:

[shadow1500]

good evening ahh is new emulator comming ahh sorry about my english :blush:

dont bring back old posts...
also its against the rules to ask when emulator is released .

[50cent]

[JinXD]

Quit spamming the frickin sticky!! No the new version has not come, why would we still be talking bout the teaser, duh! :rolleyes:

[50cent]

No problem jinxd

[Skippy]

i was wondering were was a good place to shop for a 512meg of memory. And how much do it cost. I need more memory so my computer can run faster. And run dolphin.

[Allnatural]

Keeping in mind that more memory won't magically make your computer fast enough for GC emulation...I buy all of my RAM at Crucial. It's good quality and inexpensive. Newegg is also highly recommended; they have more brands to choose from.

Of course, there's also your local shops, but in my experience online prices are consistently better.
