Dolphin Final 1.03 BETA Release

[Knuckles]

This is right, I've got the permission from FiRES to release the latest beta of Dolphin. This version is classified as an open beta, development on the emulator has already been stopped for a good while now and since there is no work in sight, this version is getting released.

I know a lot of people were waiting for it and there it is. It's still buggy, not compatible with a lot of games, slow and all but it's still better than the previous one.

What's new in this one:
-Improved Audio plugin
-improved Dolphin default input plugin
-Added Falcon4ever's nJoy 0.2 input plugin (recommended)
-Added Memory card support
-----slot 1 & 2, 2MB ones are inserted by default, can't be changed,
-----WARNING: if you format your memcard with an US game, you will be only able to use it with US games (same goes for EUR and JAP ones)
-Better recompiler compatibility and stability

that's all I can remember of the changes....

Enjoy!


the Dolphin team.... :P

[Falcon4ever]

Ok guys, remember this is a BETA! so that mean it could crash for unknown reasons!.

1. If you click on the game and choose for properties you will be taken to the dolphin-emu website (yea wrong mapping, it supposed to be a new feature) and it will show how the game is looking like in 1.03

2. You can obtain the latest and official ini from the following url:
http://dolphin-emu.com/games.ini
(you can find it on the http://www.dolphin-emu.com/gameslist.php page)

3. 1.03 has some language support, you will need to restart the emu. (yea yea yea, the dutch translations are on their way :P)

4. Please post your feedback in this thread and keep things nice mkay?

[CristalCube³]

OMFG!!!

Thanks Knuckles.








Bye CristalCube³. :bouncy:

[Trev0r]

OMG the best day in my life!

Except for the part about it being the last release. :(

[LinkTheHero]

you are the ####### best now im using a good pc with geforce 6600 im going to kiss you

[General Plot]

I know some people who have been waiting for this (me included :P). Thanks for putting this up.

[PsyMan]

Unbefeckinlievable! :w00t:
Posted on Emu64 btw :cool:

[Hawq]

Word spread to EmuHQ (& to a lesser degree for most DCEmulation) as well, ducks as the sharp things fly in his direction for mentioning it ;) gotta try it later, been so long since I tried any GC emu

[flocke28]

is it true?! WOW.. unbelievable... :bouncy:

ist starts.. but.. the first Message is a error:

"unknown Country Code" :blush:
(is Harvest Moon: A wonderful Life Multi Pall,GameID:GYWD_16FE)

[Chekote]

Thanks for all your hard work people. We realy appreciate all the hard work you have put into Dolphin and wish you all the best for the future. :happy:

[mix]

w00t! Yes, thank you! I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Thanks for all the hard work. *Waits for 1.04*

[Knuckles]

*Waits for 1.04*

god... you're not happy of 1.03? you're going to wait forever if you wait for that :P

[mix]

god... you're not happy of 1.03? you're going to wait forever if you wait for that :P

I was trying to be funny. Apparently I failed. Yes, I'm happy that 1.03 has been realeased...well kind of realeased anyway. Now think of all the idiots that are gonna come and say "d00d ive been waiting for this for liek 9 months and its still slow and crashy as heck i demand u fix this". In later versions, are we going to need the Gamecube Bios?

[slk_forever]

Hmm, another case of stop the development of a emulator and then DON`T release the source code... Sad...

[CKemu]

Erm development hasn't stopped, it's just so slow you'd have more fun watching paint dry, and frankly given the devs owe you nadda, and it's their emulator, they can do what they very well please :P

[PsyMan]

What the? Only some hours passed after the release and there are already people asking for another release and the sourcecode, and worst... they declare the emulator dead too :huh:

The only sad here is people like you. Bah...

[Federelli]

Superb!

[ShizZy]

Fantastic!

[ShizZy]

On both of my computers it says "Couldn't init core, please check your config". Dolphin 1.02 still works fine. I'm using the default settings. Anyone else have this problem?

[LaLLe]

Hey

First of all thx a lot for the new Version of Dolphin :)

Great work Guys


god... you're not happy of 1.03? you're going to wait forever if you wait for that :P

Never say Never :P

[WhiteX]

Da bomb!

[Knuckles]

Never say Never :P

I said "forever" and not never :P

[Gondar]

On both of my computers it says "Couldn't init core, please check your config". Dolphin 1.02 still works fine. I'm using the default settings. Anyone else have this problem?
I had the same problem, then I checked the plugins and now it works (basically I pressed the "ok" button in the plugin window).. Maybe it tries to use the 1.02 configuration or something? I don't know.

[Miretank]

sweet :) this new just made my day better =D honestly, I thought the project was dead, but seems it will give happiness for us in a long way time.
cheers Dolphin team! you guys r simply amazing ;)

[LaLLe]

I said "forever" and not never :P

ur right then "never ever say forever" :P

[ShizZy]

Figures. Both my 6800GT and my Radeon 200M have that shitty shader problem, so the games look terrible. Is it possible to get a slightly earlier version of the GFX plugin without this issue?

[chichi]

Thank you for this nice version, and keep up the good work.

2 thing tho, looks like shaders are bugged, it make the emu crash when i try to launch it with shaders enable (1.1/1.4 or 2.0 crash), i can only run games with no shaders. (i used to play very well with shaders in v.1.02).

How come i can't use memory card? options are greyed out and doing F2/F4 do nothing at all, how to format memory cards?

[GCFreak]

w00t, Oh my fucking gosh! Thank you Knuckles.

*rushes to play SSBM*

[ZeroGamerX]

OMFG!!!
Indeed I you guys are best!! Team and beta-testers thanks you.

Awesome work on Dolphin. :D

i'd suggest to face every emu release as a good chance for the emu community to celebrate! :party:

wooot! :)

[pennsu]

Cool!!!!
You are the man Knuckles, and thanks for the hard works for all the people making this.

common bug, happens to me on my laptop , gotta have ector to fix that

as I said, memcards are inserted by default and can't be removed. you need to launch a game that will ask you to format them (SSBM or BAM3k for example)

[mix]

you need to launch a game that will ask you to format them (SSBM or BAM3k for example)

When I launch SSBM, it doesn't ask me to format my memory card.

[Knuckles]

then the cards are prolly already formatted..... go in your /data/ folder and make sure there is :
memcard_a.raw
memcard_b.raw
both 2048Kb
if not, make sure
memcard.raw
is in the main dolphin folder.

if they are all there ,remove both memcard_a.raw and memcard_b.raw , and launch back SSBM.

result should be:

Thanks! It worked!

Oh my Freaking God......

This is so.....

AWESOME.

I'm just a lurker to this forum.. and don't participate in the discussion often...

I want to know, whats all the excitement about? I mean really. Its a four year old game system that you can buy used on ebay for ~30-50 bucks. You can get games on ebay for less than 5 dollars. Don't get me wrong, I support game emulation... I think its cool to play your console games on your pc. However, there is nothing to get excited about right now... you guys get an emulator from the dolphin team that barely plays games at all, has been in development for years, and you act as if they put on a man on the moon. Come on. It's a dead emulator, too. You guys can plainly see that there isn't a real gamecube emulator yet. So why even discuss gamecube emulation? I'm not trying to be rude, but aren't there better things to do then to camp around and wait for some sluggish developers to take 10+ for a new release?

[Drac]

yuuummmyyyy :bouncy:
nice job dolphin team :robot:

[Live4ever1]

O dear you have completly lost the point. Well let me tell you i envy the dolphin team and once asked to help but it was to technical for me to even start so i left it. man these people have taken there time for free to make this emulator and all youve got to say is basically its shit!! Man it didnt take the romans 2 weeks to build rome huh?? Anyways good luck to the dolphin team great progress through the years just a shame to see ya stop.

You don't understand anything about emulation at all, the levels of difficulty involved in even getting a single commercial game to even show a menu, or the motives of an emulator dev team. People are celebrating the technical achievement, and it is an achievement. This emulator is not even meant for warez, never was and never will be, if you thought that then you are really kidding yourself.

[mix]

Yeah, and the Dolphin team owe you nothing. They're giving this to us for free. How about YOU make an emulator and see how far you get.

I come from the time when transparency effects on a snes emulator were a big deal, i come from a time when the VESA version mattered a lot.
you take things for granted, well ppl at the emulator scene cheer at every single fps improvement, every technology improvement, you my friend, you just want to play for free.

[ScOr_311]

Great:bouncy: , Thanks Dolphin team for this very good works.
:party:
I can't test the emul now so i want to know if the yazor graphic plugin have been implanted?
Thanks again for this release.

[Live4ever1]

[matt2110]

Even though there is no sound and the fps are slow (what is normal), there is a big graphic improvement. I would like to say a big BRAVO to the dolphin team for their incredible free work!!!

[afwefwe]

common bug, happens to me on my laptop , gotta have ector to fix that

The bug only shows up when your machine doesn't have a writable D: drive. Someone forgot to turn off some debug code in VideoPlugin.dll that tries to write to d:\stream.dmp and D:\dlistlogs.txt. Everything works fine when those paths are changed to valid paths so the fopen works and it doesn't try to fprintf to NULL.

[DonaldDuck20]

Can the Dolphin Team make a Linux Version of Dolphin.
I a Linux user please make a Linux Version please

[talker]

Nice release and good to see that it still is some progres with the Dolphin Emu.
Keep on the good stuff...

[Tiduas]

"Even though there is no sound and the fps are slow (what is normal), there is a big graphic improvement. I would like to say a big BRAVO to the dolphin team for their incredible free work!!!"

When i tested Naruto 3 it was sound. Altough it didnt sound to well when the fps layed on 4 when i played =D (in the menu 10-11)

Thanks Dolphin team for a superb work!

The games does actually works now.
And just one question, is this the FINAL, no more after this?
Or do you just mean the FINAL beta version?

well this is latest beta but no one cna know is this final release or not

[MasterPhW]

I never thought that Fires let this to release...
I have to update my project, because I didn't worked on it for nearly 6 month, but no problem in nearly 1 or 2 weeks you will have the Dolphi Update pack with a lot more INI entries and probably some tools...
Have to look which tools i get finished...

BTW: My name is not written in the staff list under Dolphin Beta tester team...?!
Fires forget me!

[maxim(L2)]

is it true?! WOW.. unbelievable... :bouncy:

ist starts.. but.. the first Message is a error:

"unknown Country Code" :blush:
(is Harvest Moon: A wonderful Life Multi Pal)

same thing happens with the ntsc, so it just the emulator :saint:

[WhiteX]

megaman network transmission have sound as well.

[ShizZy]

So does Metroid 2 :D

[DR.BETRUGER]

What?????!!!! So It Is The Final Release???? Why Guys?? You Have Done A Great Job. Is It True That The Emulator Is Dead??:p

[maxim(L2)]

probally not the last one, probally the only one for a long time, except a few small patches here and there atmost ,thats what i think, they just got most the core recoded.... most.....

[DR.BETRUGER]

Thank you for this nice version, and keep up the good work.

What the hell??? My athlon xp 2200+512mb ram, and GEFORCE FX5700LE 128 MB, works ok, with pixel shader 2.0 in dolphin 1.2. But when i try to run it with pixel shader in 1.03 a error messagea apperance... So what the problem now?:evil:

[RockmanForte]

From my understanding, CKEMU says that it is still alive and it is going to be slow in progressing..so it is not dead at all which is a great things! :)

[DarthDazDC]

i thought sumthin like this would turn out eventually.
Oh well. Gud luck to Fires and the etc of coders on whatever they're doin now.

[DR.BETRUGER]

So it is alive!!??? This is great news!!! But if the develpment is slow, then, this is bad news...:plain:

[RockmanForte]

So it is alive!!??? This is great news!!! But if the develpment is slow, then, this is bad news...:plain:

NO!

If the development is slow then it is a good news because it is purpose to be free. If you are not patient then buy NGC or be patient because they are doing a good job and give them more time. They deserve it, man. Author, keep up the good work and take your time..no rush..if its mean to be slow..go ahead. Just take your time, Authur!!! Good job on 1.03!!!!!:happy:

He means, BUY the game.
He didn´t say that he downloaded the game, so that is a false accusation:whistling

[_Chrono_]

I meant that you need to format the memory card. BAM is a game the lets you format a memory card. (dont know about SA2, but they way your talking, it seems you cant)...thats why i said format it with BAM....

Does the game Billy Hachter and the Giant egg works? I saw the screenshots, in game list but i am not sure..:smurf:

[RockmanForte]

But WHY the development wil be slow? What the progrees in going on? Can someone inform us, about the progrees of the emulator, right now?

CKEMU is right. Nobody know what's the progress is going on yet and it was best not to asked. You shouldn't question developer why it is slow in process. It is free so let them do whatever they pleased and they will release the next version when they decide it is ready. Do not questions them because it is not a good idea and do not annoying them. Please just enjoy 1.03 version for now until the next release that's all. ;) :P

[Chekote]

Shouldnt this have been posted on the news page by now?

[dazey238]

Can you imagine, just for a moment, building a swimming pool in your back garden. You get to a certain point in the project, and even though it's not finished yet, you tell everyone in your neighbourhood that they're free to come and use it. You still have so many things you want to do to it, but you've got to work and have your own time for other things. So you do what you can, and your neighbours help you out from time to time, letting you know about things that need fixing etc.

Then it gets to the point where you're happy with your swimming pool the way it is for the moment, even though there's still lots of stuff you COULD do, you're happy and that's the main thing because it's YOUR pool. But your neighbours still want to help, in fact some of them use the pool so much they start getting tetchy as to WHY you aren't making the improvements that THEY want.

How does that make you feel? I'd be pretty hacked off I reckon. It'd make it harder for me to come back and finish the pool. I'd probably tell my neighbours to go and use someone else's pool or get their own. I might even work on the pool secretly, and not tell anyone what I was doing for fear of generating the same kinds of problems again.

Anyway, I digress. We were talking about emulators....

[Razon]

Awsome! I would say keep up the good work but you guys have done enough already.

[DR.BETRUGER]

Yes, keep up the good work guys!!!

[The_Agent]

man, away for 2 months an what a nice surprise when i get back :)

all i can say is well done an looks sweet

an to all those who whinge about it, its simple if u don't like it, look else were

i take me hat off to them, i know i couldn't make it, an also I'm not interested in have a free rid with ngc games i have my ngc right here by me TV, i just like the idea of seeing games off of my ngc on my pc regardless of if they work at 5fps or 200, dunno about anyone else, but when i see a ngc only game running on my pc it fills me with a joy that's hard to explain, that is what id consider the main attraction to it and i suppose that's the real reason behind such projects, its that sense of achievement that they get

well, thanks to all the Dev's for this, it made me feel good for the day

all i can say is

i await the next to see what else u have accomplished, and if there isn't another, then thank Q for what u have done so far and good luck with what ever u chose to do in life, but least u can say u made one person happy for the day even tho u have never met me in person :D

and for that i show u my gratitude with these to smileys getting drunk :party:

Will you make a Linux version of Dolpin ?

[Dan van Ohllus]

Will you make a Linux version of Dolpin ?

They said earlier in the FAQs that they will not make a Linux version for the moment, so the only way to run Dolphin in Linux is to use a Windows Emulator.
An example of a Windows emulator is WINE, since it is compatible with DirectX games.

[Falcon4ever]

They said earlier in the FAQs that they will not make a Linux version for the moment, so the only way to run Dolphin in Linux is to use a Windows Emulator.
An example of a Windows emulator is WINE, since it is compatible with DirectX games.

Wine Is No Emulator, it just grabs API calls and translates them ...
And as the FAQ ofcourse stated no Linux version is being made atm. Making a linux version would mean that most stuff needed to be ported (most of the plugins are using DirectX)

Oh afaik WINE just shows up dolphin but won't let you run any games.

[ector]

Dolphin was made for fun. None of us find dealing with linux distro incompatibilities, makefiles, and stuff like that to be fun.
We like DirectX and Visual Studio :)
(which will also make an xbox360 port easier if the thing ever gets hacked....)

[Akilla]

Wel great emu guys(i think) but why don't my games work annymore with 1.03(bust a move 3000,mario party 4, dbz budokai 2, star soldier, pokemon colloseum, super monkey ball 2). If i load one of them i only see a white screen and nothing happens. and i don't see fps at the bottom its totaly blank

What could be the problem?

*i found out that none of the dolphi nemus work for anny game annymore except the dolphin teaser wich only plays bust a move great*

[huztla]

well i also got 2 say thx for the great work dolphin team!!! but dont stop now! its almost done! compatibility seems great.. alot of games running well.. now itz only bout speed dem muthpahuccaz up!! get your ass back on the project! everybody will be thankfulL!!!

[WhiteX]

muthpahuccaz

What the hell is that suppose to mean?

muthpahuccazWhat the hell is that suppose to mean?

u right Rapidgorgon .. hehe..

[fastfinger]

I just finished ready the entire 10 pages and some of the comments relates to the problem with the Memory Card. I tried running Zelda - Four Swords on the emulator but can't get past the memory card problem.

THe game keep saying that the memory card is corrupt and if I want to format it. I answer yes and it can't format the card. I tried to delete the two memcard files in the data directory but still have the same problem.

Any idea why the emulator/game is doing that?

Thanks in advance

[RockmanForte]

well i also got 2 say thx for the great work dolphin team!!! but dont stop now! its almost done! compatibility seems great.. alot of games running well.. now itz only bout speed dem muthpahuccaz up!! get your ass back on the project! everybody will be thankfulL!!!

Tsk tsk...you have no right to tell them to get their ass back on the project. :rolleyes:

Leave them be and let them do the works because it is purpose to be free for everyone..if you want it, buy game cube, duh! :)

Nothing u can do, that is because the incomplete emulation.
Dont worry u arent the only one, some of my games have that errors too.Just wait for the next version and try it again.;)

[raksmey1309]

You the kid in the banned video?


Awesome work on Dolphin.
LOL:P

[tommyvn]

thank you very much! now i can play HM AWL!
there are some problem here:
1st: it so slow:yucky:
and the 2nd: see this pic!:yucky:
http://www.dolphin-emu.com/forums/uploads/post-5-1108681221.jpg
but thank you for this emu so much :flowers:

[raksmey1309]

If u r great go make ur own emulator.Dolphin is progressing great already.
U newbie should learn more before post such useless thread.

[Stadsport]

It's really good to see that this is under development still.
One issue I'll point out (if no one else has) is Starfox Assault no longer runs. It crashes on boot. I tried the alternative Video plugin, and it booted once, crashed, now won't boot at all. With or without pixel shaders on.
Still, thanks for all the hard work!

[redbone]

Great work on the emulator thus far. Just to let everyone know, I'm getting about 16fps with a amd 3800+ and a geforce 7800 gtx. PS1 and other emulators had frame rate problems in the beginning, but got resolved. I have faith that you guys will figure out better methods in the future. Have you guys thought about open sourcing this project? Good luck and please keep up the great work! I long for the day I can sit at work and play a gamecube game at my desk :)

[geraldinho]

Oh! Knuckes, you are a very nice man thanks you for this

Bye!

[geraldinho]

But I want to have 4 joysticks, no only 1.

[geraldinho]

knuckles.... thanks for this great emulator. but why it has only one controller?
in the future I think that you will create the dolphin version 1.04 and it must has 4 controllers to play no one.

OK.

Bye. and I will wait for you I hope that it will be in a few time.

bye

[RockmanForte]

LOL..you do not tell them that it must has 4 controllers but I am sure they will when they want to in near future. It wont be in a few time. It will be a long time ahead. Please be patient. ;)

[GCFreak]

What's wrong with you? they can introduce 4 controllers whenever they want to. It's their emulator, they can do what they do with it. So don't order them around.

[Stadsport]

Just a heads up: using an EMS Trio Linker with the latest nJoy plugin (included with 1.03) crashes the emulator on game boot. Tested on two computers. Other joypads/convertors work fine.

Don't know why, the Trio Linker works with every other game and emulator like any standard game controller should.

[doxor]

doesnt work with my killer7 iso

cmon guys coplet this program^^

[romdude12]

i used this current version with SCII,played till stage 3,no crashes or even bugs,if there was a way to get framerate higher..theres always a way!
Thanks for the release,

Remember nothing's impossible!

[WhiteX]

(fellin´naughty today) Well, Boo-Hoo!:evil:

[Hero Red]

Much better than 1,02. Doesn't freeze all the time when you boot a game that is not configured right. Thanks knuckles. Really appreciate it. And thanks to the creators of dolphin. :( It makes me sad though that you won't be working on Dolphin no more. I wish you can still continue. If not, could you try to start on a revolutionary emulator when it comes out? If you want to spend quality time with your family I can understand. Everybody gotta call it quits sometimes.

[RockmanRotti]

Dont tell them what to do!!!!!!

You will be ban. STOP IT!

[Mouser X]

Knuckles didn't write this emulator. Also, it is well known (and documented) that only 1 controller works. Just be patient (based on what I've read, wait about a year, or 3), and I'm sure that they'll get more controllers supported eventually. In fact, if we're really lucky, they might even enable multiplayer online (sort of like Kalaira, or however you spell that thing for other emulators that provides online access [it sends controller data to the other emus, or something]).

Though I haven't tried this emulator (or any GC emus, for that matter), I think I may give it a try. I like emus because, especially with these new 3D ones (depending on the improvements they've recieved), you can get high-res in-game screenshots. That's what I want them for. I plan on running Skies of Arcadia (though it will almost certainly not have sound. The music is sequenced (like midis) and those aren't supported yet, that I've heard. Streamed media (like MP3 or WAV) is what you're hearing, when a game has sound in these emus) to see if I can get any pictures from it. I might also run PSO 1&2, and maybe even PSO ep. III.

Anyway, the comments are mostly all good. Hopefully, I can get this doing what I want it to... Mouser X over and out.

[Alex The Great]

Wouldn't playing multiplayer with a keyboard be unconfortable? And I guess playing multiplayer is useless when games run at 1fps...

[shw8513]

Thanks for your bounty!

[Blacklord]

Hiya! First i wanted to say that i like the work you've done with the emulator(even though i only saw the interface) and that after i switch from n64 to gamecube emulation you'll be seeing me a lot but till then keep up the good work.

[Blacklord]

well i documented myself and frankly it's the same thing i said to the PJ64 team: as long as we expext the CPU to emulate a core we won't be getting any farther than 10fps unless u wait till super computers will be at an affordable price.I DO NOT MEAN ANY OFFENSE TO THE DOLPHIN TEAM. Wrong sticky Rockmangames. Please read the sticky titles before posting.

[RockmanForte]

Stop discuss it about here. This is for screen shots, ok ? Oh boy.

[MJIANG]

thanks a lot for sharing!

[Sinfrid]

Yeahhhhh!!!! Good Work guys!!! :party:

[egervari]

Too bad no work is going to be done on this. Fire emblem actually was working for a bit on 1.02, but it crashes with this new release. The game wasn't playable - cutscenes were white and black, I got about 4-5 fps, and the 3d was messed up, but I could totally see that it was possible to emulate this stuff! So cool! I mean, it just needs tweaks and fine tuning and stuff. The base stuff looks like it is there. I attacked boyd a few times even though I couldn't see anything but the weapons swinging (the rest was black except for the health bars). Still cool!

[Hot Shot]

I'm trying to run Soul Calibur 2, and it keeps giving me the error: "Unknown filetype" what do I do to end this problem?

[Full_Throttle]

So, will nobody be working on the emulator anymore? Isn't ther esome open code which people can edit?

[sonicadvance]

Very Nice work.I was playing Sonic Heros at 7-8FPS.
Hope you don't quit having fun while developing Dolphin.

funny & silly suggestion :P
Hire a slave monkey to optimize the code :P
j/k

[RockmanForte]

That is not wise to tell them that you hope they dont quit having fun while developing dolphin..I suggest you remove that before they pissed off. :)

And cancel all work on an emulator - permanently - because of one comment? :unsure:
Don't think so... I would hope their interest in this project would be a little stronger than one able to be swayed by some dude on a forum ahaha.

But great work ^.^
I hadn't tried GC emulation till tonight. I tried Monkey Ball which was going great until I got a Dropout before the game started hehe.
I'll try some other games..

Well I can tell you that the way the public acts is a determining factor if I go to f1res and say hey this beta rocks lets release it. Thats what I did for the last one and I dont think I am for the current release cuase alot of people are being stupid. If not for knux and I the last beta would have never gotten released. After seeing so much complaning about speed and people general retarded comments. I will def not vote to release the new beta until he goes final. So you might say one persons comment doesnt count for working on the emulator, and ur right they will work on it but if its released is really based on how you guys are acting and if f1res feels its ready to be released. If f1res comes to me and goes, "think we should release this beta" that he has many times Id currently say no.

[darklight_steve]

u know this is my 1st post since joining like months ago been reading through posts and posts of b..... crap..All the team asks is 2 report usefull bugs 2 guid them in their programing not 10,0000 posts about how such and such is slow or blocky.most ppl dont even bother 2 read the compat list.in truth id love to c this great project get finshed but they dont need 2 they hav proven they have skills like most projects are about.so a brill job done so far and best luck to to the team :alien2:

[Alex The Great]

There is one reason people are asking for a full speed GC emulator: most people outside US (especially in Latin America) can't afford to buy a Gamecube game, and mind you the price of a GC game in Argentina is 70 dollars compared to 30 dollars in US, people will obviously ask for an emulator. So, why don't we complain to Nintendo? I mean, Fires is obvioulsly too lazy to improve speed, the Dolwin coder is in the army, and Whinecube has zero progress. There is no way to release a working GC emulator soon.

you sir are a dumb ass. No one is lazy, they have lives. these lives dont include writing emulators so you can steal games and play them on your p166. Take that comment and keep it to yourself or better yet. DO BETTER. I sware.

Your post is very useless, i am Brazilian and here GC games are even more expensive, if you can´t afford the games, get a modded Console.
If you need to play GC games, well, go code an emulator yourself, it is really stupid to demand smth from ppl who are not getting paid to do it.
I do not have a GC and a full working emulator will be a blessing but do you see good ol`X demanding fullspeed, no, Why? Because they have something better to do and no obligation to us whatsoever.
Don´t be a jackass Alex, be helpful, go help some ppl around the forum and quit being such a lame ass.
Oh! And yes you should complain to Nintendo better than emulator coders, if the Big N build a factory in Brazil or in Argentina games will get cheaper and we could afford them instead of looking out for Warez.

[darklight_steve]

its posts like that which puts the team off i bet of improving this emu.they hav worked their backsides off just 2 get to this stage and what do they get,80% of the public trying to use this 2 save cash which im sure is not a reason y they made this emu in da 1st place.many ppl belive in their minds when they get this emu that its fully working and will play all their games at great speeds.the team do hav better things 2 do then work on this and i wouldnt blame them if they dont make anouther release so mate i say 2 u is pull out ur wallet and fork som cash out bec gc emu is far from being finshed.

[Draky]

Will test it cause I'd like to test snes emu for GC
snes emu on a GC emu
let's have stupid fun ;)

anyway thanks again :)

Very Offtopic: Well thank you very much. I'm also from Argentina and you just portrayed us as game pirates, oportunists and lazy smurfs that just because our economy sucks are expecting for some coder to solve our problems. No ofense dude, I agree with you, life sucks. But I don't really see the point on calling a dev "too lazy to improve speed".

[gandalf]

well guys, the emulation progress it´s slow and without the right documentation, more slow
The autors have life too, they cant be there coding all the day for the emulator.

Same thing happens with N64 emulation, 5 years of it´s dead and not all the games are playable.

First, improve compatibility,then speed


oh, Argentina too :p

[WhiteX]

see, Latin America, not freeloaders, not latino beggars, keep it up dudes!
Pride and power! Oh! With powerfull rigs too!

As far as dolphin goes, i only tried a couple of games and posted the screenies here.

[Alex The Great]

Fires once said that improving speed is much easier than improving compatibility. However, I don't blame Fires for it's laziness (I'm also lasy, duh), in fact the problem is that Latin America is nothing in the videogame world, thus prices are horrible. Why do ya think there is 90% piracy in Latin America, sir? Despite being pirates, the blame should be to Nintendo who doesn't care to make a game factory in Argentina as Intel does. I have to wait one year to go to US, get cheap games, and come back here. When I finish all Gamecube games, I have to download GBA games that are pure crap nowadays, and wait for Dolphin or Ideas. Who's to blame? Nestor Kirchner and the Big N. And stop calling me a jackass, you have no respect for third-world countries! Invading Irak, because of "weapons of mass destruction", and doing nothing to look for Osama, while treating Latinos like Muslims all over the world. No wonder Islamic guys call US the "evil empire". I don't care if Fires stops developing Dolphin, soon we won't have to worry about Gamecube prices. The point is, you're treating me like garbage.
And yes you should complain to Nintendo better than emulator coders, if the Big N build a factory in Brazil or in Argentina games will get cheaper and we could afford them instead of looking out for Warez.
You're right sir, the Big N should cooperate with our economy, as they did in China. Maybe we could all sign a petition, so that the Big N could stop piracy in a helpful way. But I won't stop fighting for an emulator until I can buy a GC game for 30 dollars here in Argentina! So, Fires, do what you want, I don't care if you're lazy, I don't care if ya don't want to continue with Dolphin. But I'm saying the truth, and we should do something instead of fighting for slow emulators! I'll do whatever it is necessary to get prices as low as in US!

[galford_bust]

Ok, I'm getting banned because of this:

Alex The Great, shut the fvck up. Not only you're bothering everyone with YOUR fvcking problems. Nobody cares. If you want to complain with the motherfvucking president go ahead. This is not an economy forum, this is not a "oh poor me forum" and even though I lack the authority to say anything and I'm getting oh si banned I think your stupidity scores high above the average pile of "gimme speedz" sh¡t. Believe me, I don't mind about reading that sh¡t everyday I try to find useful information around here, but you draw the line over and over. You say the devs are lazy, I say who gives a tiny rat ass about it? You say nintendo is the responsible of piracy, I say do you fvckhole actually think that this is the right forum to discuss about it or whine about it? Do you really believe you're making ANY FVCKING DIFFERENCE by going around here spitting your sh¡t?
And what the hell you think you're doing by telling everyone that you download roms? Are you out of you tiny dickwee mind?!

I'm through, ban me now. Now I do understand why many people throw flames so easily on newbies, and I almost feel stupid for telling some guys in the forums to be patient and not to be mean with people asking stupid questions.

[Alex The Great]

Whatever, if someone insults me like that, then I'm outta here. There's no use complaining here. Ban me if ya want, it makes no difference, cuz I waited four years for a good gamecube emulator and you dissapointed me. Thus, I won't wait anymore. And galford, I'm not stupid. I'm a victim of the Big N who can only find a solution, sadly, through, emulation. Thus, I need to do anything possible to save money. I don't see why you post in an emulator forum if you aren't warez kids: you don't save money through emulation. But anyway, I don't care. I'm outta here, ban galford and me if ya want, this place sadly is full of people who don't understand what emulation represents. Adios!

Im the victim! im the victim! would u stfu. Everyone here see's it. Your nothing more then a hurt little kid willing to get back at the world by anyways you can. Reminds me of some people in some of the countries you named. Emulation has NOTHING to do with warez at all and if you have been waiting for 4 years for a playable emulator you just wasted 4 years of your life! And for that I feel sorry for you. Go out, get laid and get a life. See the reason f1res isnt updating dolphin is becuase of small petter people like you who bitch and complain about every little thing. If you dont like it write your own gc emulator and keep it to yourself and make us suffer. In the end we dont care. No loss to us. Ill still beta test newer version when they are out. This is just not the place to talk about anything but dolphin and emulation. Not how slow it is or how lazy f1res is.

People, please stop throwing more shit into the fan.
