Dolphin Works Great!!!

[Sercio]

At my System works Dolphin greater than great! I think its because i found my Dolphinversion (beta) in Emule ... (i dont know anymore how i search it)
But few games are working at 30-40 Frames per second.
i testet Gcube-front- too but this Emulator makes many glitches...
I think my sytem was a little bit too hard;-) Better for me!

I have make some Screenshots but cannot load up in this site:-(
Anyway how fast goes Dolphin on what a system?
Write them down here!

My system:
AMD 64 X2 4800+ Dualcore CPU 2 x 2.4GHz
2GB OCZ Gold GX Edition DDR 400
160 GB S-ATA2
2 x XFX Extreme Gamer 7800GT


Sorry for my Bad english ... i comefrom Germany;-)

[maximius]

You're bloody crazy. Where does somebody get that kind of a machine anyways? O.o

I only get 5FPS >_>

EDIT:

There's fields in your profile for system specs, use 'em.

wow, this is amazing, someone comes in complimenting on the dolphin rather than complaining about it, and check out those specs, can you decked out!

[Sercio]

I added a Screenshot -->now i know how to Upload screenshots^^

[invaderzig]

Those are amazing pics and how fast does your resident evil game play on? and a very fast computer

[Sercio]

Quick enough to understand that game...
But cannot Save:-(

[Sercio]

I added some Pictures with Screenshots from Resident Evil 4
(i disbled the Shaders because the glitches)
man i played to the place with the dog behing the tree ... than i broke up because i could´n save and i dont wont to start every time again at the same place:-(
Ok Ok!
I can make it better and play the Original on my Gamecube but i love to make some little tricks with my system ^^

[ShizZy]

Is that even real? I could be wrong, but it looks more like a bad photoshop job. The toolbars are of good quality while the game itself looks stretched and low res.

[Sercio]

If you looking to another Screenshots of Resident Evil you see that the Gamesize crash if the emulation begins! I dont know why i think its because the 16:9 scale but im not sure...

[Falcon4ever]

why not use the 1.03 beta which is in the sticky threads of this forum...

[Kratos777]

Full speed Resident Evil 4!! Show us a video and I may believe you.

[Dysprosium]

Even on that monster you call a computer, Dolphin shouldn't run that well. It looks like the game itself was just replaced with a picture of Resident Evil 4 with Photoshop.

Not to mention Leon shouldn't start with a shotgun. =P

[parn1024]

I have

AMD 64 X2 4400+ Dualcore
2GB ram
6800 GS XXX

and i can,t play more than 7 fps, and people who have a PC worse same, always 5 6 fps...

Fake :angry:

[Sercio]

2 Thinks:
First Leon get a Shotgun at "easy" mode... i have the Pal-version of RE4
If you looking exactly the Screenshots are u seeing some gltiches and bug´s its because i disabled the Shaders!
Example i have no Laser-Line on my Weapon or the Eye´s from Leon looks like a Quaterback.
Second:
If you look to another Screenshots of RE4 you see that the Screensize mismatch (i dont know why 16:9?)
Finally i recorded a Video with fraps believe or not!
I used Fraps because my system was fast but not fast enough to emulate and record the screen at the same time with Camtasia or somethink...

Sorry Again for my bad English;-)

[Kratos777]

That video looks legit, you'd have to be pretty damn bored to make a fake that convincing. Well done to you!

Although it doesn't seem quite as fast as your screenshots suggested but that's probably Fraps to blame. :)

[Sercio]

Long live Dolphin!
I have now the new version 1.3 BETA !!!!
Im able to save -->hallejulia
I recorded a new movie with ingame playing ... Ok its play slow because i used Fraps...
A Screenshot shows how good i be able to save!!
I hope now are some Peoples believe me that Dolphin can play games in a recomment speed.

[ChaosCode]

see all you have to do is buy $2000 + hardware and you can play Gamecube games faster but not full speed! or........ pay 99$ and buy a gamecube :D

[DeathRain99]

... I really don't think you start with a shotgun in Easy mode.

You would've had me if Vile hadn't pointed that out.

[Agozer]

... I really don't think you start with a shotgun in Easy mode.

You would've had me if Vile hadn't pointed that out.
Leon does start with a shotgun in Easy mode, not so on Normal+.

[bugo]

wooooooooow!
nice screenshots...
please gimme wind waker too!

[DeathRain99]

Leon does start with a shotgun in Easy mode, not so on Normal+.

Really? ...Hmmm, I though when I started my game I put it on easy :P

[kozsg]

I tried to play Resident Evil 4 PAL with an emu called Dolphin Teaser and i had 47 fps in the menus!!! and no graphic problems but with no sound (because i don't have sound plugin for that emu).I could not get ingame.Any suggestions??

My Pc is not quite good for Gamecube emulation but it played great (at least the menus :P ):
P4 2,35 GHz

ok one you must be a coder that coders plugins and make some change

Number 2 you have taken the movie from emule

number 3 did you use the gamecube bios

Otherwise resident evil is not working with my machine

processor AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 2,6 GHz

two Graphic card ATI Radeon X1900 512 MB with ATI Radeon X1900 Crossfire Master

main card Asus A8R-MVP

memory ram 4 GB Corsair XMS 3200C2 Pro

harddisc 2 x Western Digital RaptorX 150 GB 10 000 rpm + 2 x Hitachi Deskstar 7K500 500 GB

I must be wrong on you or you just can play that game.

[Tcd]

Show me a zelda windwaker game with the fraps on and i may belive you upload a movie file like that with fraps and i believe you 100%

[bohdy]

Fraps doesn't capture the mouse pointer...

I don't know what the full story is with that video, however.

[Sercio]

Fraps is be able to Record the mouse pointer!
Just you must adjust the settings under no cursor!
added Screenshot with the settings , censored some things (i think its better)

And just sorry... I have no Zelda WW and i wont to download it !
I have end the original on my Gamecube (yes i have a Gamecube!).
But Zelda must work too -->?
Now I want to test Metroid Prime but i Must first get the .gcm file ....

(Please DONT ask where to load .gcm files!)
If i have it i make new screenshots and add in this threat!

Cya!

[kozsg]

I believe you man,from the begining ;)

[Falcon4ever]

http://dolphin-emu.com/gameslist.php <- Have fun testing sercio...

[Sercio]

I Tested now Metroid Prime on Dolphin and must say DAM IT WORKS!!
But can only play the first area with no weapon ...
Many Bugs, many glitches ... just Dolphin;-)
For example : i have no right Hand (?) .
I add a Movie with this funny glitch. Don´t wonder if you hear no sound, I cant Record my sound device cause have driverproblems :(
|-|
My next Project was Super Smash Brothers Melee ... I have begun to load äh i mean Buy this game and its end in few days;-)


And many respect to the creator of Dolphin!

[arif]

hi how do i get games and load them....????

ok i believe you now i also just tested out this game

[Mouser X]

The rules state not to discuss where to DOWNLOAD them. Understandably so. But I think what is being asked is how to PLAY it. Which I believe is documented. Correct me if I am wrong.

If they already have the image file, and are asking how to load that image file into Dolphin, and they are NOT asking where to get the image (after all, they already have it), then I'd have to agree. There's nothing wrong with asking how to get Dolphin to run that game. I've never used a GC emulator, but I'd assume it would be as simple as File>Open>Select image to load. Either way, check the FAQs, as I'm sure this has been asked before. It shouldn't be hard to find, or do. It's probably documented in multiple ways, in various locations. Hopefully that helps somewhat. Mouser X over and out.

[Ichiban]

That seems to be a very decent emulator you have there Sercio... How can I get one? Playing Wind Waker at 1.79 fps is really ridiculous! Is there any BIOS out there for dolphin? If so, will it make Dolphin run faster like yours? I was looking at the various menus and while scrolling down, I saw BIOS listed under the file menu. On my other computer, my systems specs are quite like yours and Dolphin still runs Zelda at 1.79 fps. Can you help me with a copy of your emulator or a site? I just can't wait!:drool:

You want to play Zelda ?---> buy a Gamecube and you have no problems;-)
No i make fun, but Dolphin isn´t to play commercial Games!
I mean Zelda works on "normal" systems with 3-4 Fps! This was very much for a Emulator! Look to Projekt64... this need´s a 1,5Ghz with 256MB Ram-->for a Nintendo 64 who has ~150Mhz and 4Mb Ram!
The Gamecube has ~490Mhz (700 Mhz intel Speed) and 40Mb Ram, how much this need i dont watch!
--See !=dolphin isn´t Bad!---

[flowrent]

Can you try some fighting games ?
MK Deadly Alliance was reported to work best (~10 fps), i wonder how it does on your pc.

[Ichiban]

I'm sorry Sercio. You didn't answer my question... How can I get one like yours? Is it a hacked version? It looks different from my emulator of dolphin.

[Ichiban]

I ripped my ISOs' from my cube and I will like to test them with the excellent speed of your emulator!:)

[Sercio]

I'm sorry Sercio. You didn't answer my question... How can I get one like yours? Is it a hacked version? It looks different from my emulator of dolphin.


I have the same dolphin version like yours "now"... Download the 1.3 beta !
Before i have a another version where i cannot able to save!
The 1.3 beta works better and has a bit less glitches!

[RobboMan]

Hey Sercio do you have tested Naruto (1, 2, 3 or 4)? :evil:
Please test it. :bouncy:

No;-)

[arnalion]

This was real pictures taked by camera!
I mean anybody in this world have play that revolution ...
What you seen before was generatet by Maya or 3dMax (or somethink)!

Na not really, there have been foto pics around for a preatty long time.
I got some nintendo conference movies about the revolution and other nintendo stuff... 2,3GB lol

[Knuckles]

cleaned a bit the thread...

[GCFreak]

Wow, one month holiday and look what I come back to. :P

[Sercio]

I think that everyone is waiting for a Zelda TWW movie that I have recorded. I imagined that I must publish this movie. Unfortunately, I had to cut that movie in 3 parts because i cannot load up more then 8MB per Avi file. My Zelda is the German PAL version. This movie shows only the start with Link and, actually, I also do not want to play further because I have already played through it on my Gamecube;-)

This is my last movie that I publish,
I dont want to play Gamecube games at a Emulator on my computer. I only wanted to test how fast it plays on mine system.
If i want a Game i buy it ... i make it easy for my self!
Maybe I still publish a Movie from Zelda the Twillight Princess if the File is available on Internet.:drool:
But I will answer Questions if I have time (sorry i was hard working ...every day;-)

Zelda works a bit "slower" then other games ...if Link is outdoor then still slower then indoor.
BUT its playable^^
I used Fraps again to record and Sony Vegas Video to convert into XviD format. Dolphin emulate no sound on Zelda TWW...

and...Please dont ask me for Games or can i test games or somethink like that!

And thanks again to the creators of Dolphin!

P.S.
This image was been edit with Photoshop (cause im bored;-)

[g00beRz]

Dang, I wish I had that PC. And I wish I could get Dolphin to go above 1.5 fps, for that matter.

[Kingis]

SORRY, a bit offtopic but maybe you should try the newest version of pcsx2. You might get great speeds in some games.

or do you have any ps2 games?

[Sercio]

I Dont like a PS2;-)
But i can test it if i have time....
In addition, this is not suitable thema for this forum

[thecrecarc]

holy crap, this is amazing. i wish i could run it that fast :(

[RockmanForte]

SORRY, a bit offtopic but maybe you should try the newest version of pcsx2. You might get great speeds in some games.

Ask your question in the different thread because this is about Dolphin only and clean thread as well. So, yeah..you are way off the point. *ROLL EYES*

[SKYY]

Haven't read the thread, but those screens look like bad photochops. The lead number of his FPS readouts (ie. "4") doesn't match the font of the rest of the numbers in the readout.

[Clements]

Ya, they are definite fake. Just look at the FPS counters closely from the shots, they do not line up - and they should if there are 4 digits (i.e. XX.XX). The spacing is irregular. He probably added in an extra digit to those shots and forgot to take account of the uniform spacing of the font.

[axcc123]

i thought that from the get go because of the fact that on res evil 4 you allways start with a hand gun he should get banned for that:bouncy:

[RockmanForte]

I hate fake and I hate the faker! I think he should get banned for that as well.

[Mouser X]

What I don't understand is this. What's the big deal? I mean, it's not like he hurt anyone in any way. So, you think it's fake. Or, you think it's real. Either way, it has NO EFFECT on anyone whatsoever, because it's not your PC. Let's pretend it is real, for a moment. What does that mean to anyone here? He's got a machine that can run Dolphin fast enough to play games on. Woopdee do. That makes no difference to you because you still can't play them. The same goes for it being fake. If it's fake, so what? He got a good laugh, we got a good look. Yay. So, because he "lied" he's more popular on the internet? So what? Like that actually means something? Come on. Banning for "faking" it? Why? He didn't do anything wrong. At worst, it was a joke. At best, it's the real deal. Either way, I see no reason to get all pissed off and ban this guy. Please people, let's be reasonable. Can anyone please explain how this has negatively effected anyone here? Like as in, in such a way that you can no longer enjoy life, emulation, games, the internet, ect? If this gets you pissed off enough to cause a ban, then what are you even doing on the internet? Now, I can understand if it's a fake emu announcement, or a fake ROM dump announcement, or something like that. You get people's hopes up, and then slam them in the face when they find out you lied. Here though, is something entirely different. It's no emu, it's no announcement, and if this got anyone's hopes up, why? He's basically confirming that Dolphin is a pretty good emulator, which most of us here already know.

Anyway, please people, show some forethought before you go and do something stupid. Apparently, the internet *is* serious buisness. Mouser X over and out.

[EDIT] P.S. Did anyone download his videos? Did you take a look at them? Did they show the FPS in the videos (I just looked at the Metroid Prime one. I didn't see FPS)? The videos looked like they had pretty decent FPS. Not as good as he said it was, but that's to be expected since he was recording at the time. Since I just took a look at the Metroid Prime one again, I could see that the FPS were not in the corner of that one. Even so, it looked decent to me. Sure, he could speed up the video, or something, but what's the point?

[WhiteX]

It is a forum which most ppl are 20 yo or older, we got jobs and responsabilities, wasting our time with a joke like that is only passable at april 1st, other than that he is just one more newbie trying to gather some attention.
Ok, i will not die from that but he is taking time, space and attention from ppl posting real, relevant or amusing news, lie to the teeth like that, in my opinion, deserves a, IP ban.
If you like to be fooled, ok, send me a check every month so i can get you some land in Heaven, i do not like to be fooled.

[Toasty]

Another thing that puzzles me - on your first post you say that you have an Athlon 4800+ X2 processor (which is a very fast, dual-core processor). Then, later on you say your computer is not fast enough to emulate and record at the same time. IIRC, Dolphin is single-threaded and most screen recorders are also single-threaded. Why is running them both at the same time on a dual-core machine a problem? Maybe I'm just ignorant for lack of experience, but I'm a bit confused.

[Mouser X]

You chose to spend your time here. He didn't make you. Also, if you think it's fake, you can always ignore it. Even so, how much does this thread really dent your day? 1 minute? 2 minutes? It's not like it's posted in every day even. I don't see why people get so upset over this. HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG. If he did, please explain in explicit detail how it's wrong, why it's wrong, why *you* think it's wrong, ect. Fake or not, you chose to spend time here. You wasted your time by coming. You didn't have to.

Of course, the opposing argument to that is, "I chose to come here because I thought it was something real/worth my time." So, what you're saying is that you don't want to be on the internet? How much stuff on the internet is true? Sure, a lot of it is. But there's far more crap than there is good stuff out there. You have to filter such things out. If you can't do that, then what are you doing here? If you think it's a waste of time, don't pay attention to it.

You may wonder why I care. I can't stand seeing this stupid stuff. Why would this be a permanent bannable offense? If it is, then put it in the rules! "Don't be an idiot. Don't waste people's time. Don't lie." Is that what you'd like to see in the rules? If yes, then put it in there first, and warn this guy. Either way, you're going to see a lot more bans coming if you put something like that in there. Based on what I've seen, it's not like half the new people read the rules anyway (conjecture, guess, estimation, or whatever, but I sure have seen some stupid people on this board. And when they were banned, there was good reason for it. I don't see how this is one of those times).

As for your heaven comment, it implies to me that you catagorize me into the very group that doesn't read the rules. While that might not be your intention, I'm sorry that you feel that way. It was not my intent to sound like an idiot. It IS my intent to fully understand in what way this guy has done something that is a bannable offense. I don't see it. Apparently, you do, and I don't understand how you do. I'd like an explanation for that. I have been trying to provide an explanation as to why this IS NOT a bannable offense. So, what you're saying is if someone "doorbell ditches" they should be sent to jail? I realize my analogies suck, but hopefully it at least in part illustrates what I'm trying to say. They didn't do anything wrong, or damaging to anyone, or anything, in anyway.

I hope people can be more reasonable. I hope that people can understand what I'm trying to say, and what my point of view is. If they don't, I'm sorry. I also hope that people can explain how this is a bannable offense. To me, permanently banning someone is the equivelent of sending them to prison, or like unto it. I don't see how this situation fits into that scenario. If it does, please expain. If my view on that is mistaken, please explain your view on banning, and why it's necessary in this situation.

If I have offended anyone, gotten people mad at me, upset anyone, I'm sorry. I'm doing the best that I can to make sure that someone is not unjustly dealt with. If it's wrong to do so, then please explain that to me. I in no way mean this to be a "confrontational" or "flame-bait" post. I'm just trying to help people be more reasonable. Hopefully at the very least that can be understood from my message. Mouser X out.

Dear Mouser x,

This is very much long text in a lot true, however, something is not also !
You are right! The Member must decide themselves whether what stands is true or not! I have to them clear ones proves given which could be faked, however, nevertheless !
Today many events look phoney still, for example, the moon-landing or the Roswell aliens... Nobody can confirm this, however, also nobody can relay this!
In the final effect it lies with the viewer him must decide whether this is real or not.
Maybe I have none computer is so excessively highly competitive, maybe I have no gamecube...Actually, nobody can know this and confirm therefore whether that is true!
Now this sounds a little bit absurd maybe but ...
The more I I trouble you to be convincing, so more it puts I ask openly even more mistrust call over! Therefore, has I also do not want to grumble whether is a little bit true or not and the answer on the reader leaves.
In ends I ask myself why I this here publish has? Maybe so that I can brag. Maybe I have even been simply proud that Dolphin was so quick...
The answer lies in ends with you

[Sercio]

If nobody accept that... then ban me!
I will not post with so stupit members they cant believe anythink!

[axcc123]

if your running it on a server than let us know that

[TerraPhantm]

From what I understand, Dolphin is CPU limited, and with my processor which has the same core as yours and is OC'd much farther, I get the same framerate as everyone else. Even when I had a 7800GTX (which is on RMA now) my framerate is the same as with my X800Pro, so even though you have a very good system, you shouldn't get exponentially higher framerates.

If I have offended anyone, gotten people mad at me, upset anyone, I'm sorry. I'm doing the best that I can to make sure that someone is not unjustly dealt with. If it's wrong to do so, then please explain that to me. I in no way mean this to be a "confrontational" or "flame-bait" post. I'm just trying to help people be more reasonable. Hopefully at the very least that can be understood from my message. Mouser X out.

The problem, for me, is the decrease of the community trust on the scene, i mean Emutalk is a very respected community and if a fake likje that is to come out at large bad things may happen to us.

Imagine a scenario when some kid with money reads this thread and we all fell for the fake, he is to think that if he buys the same comp as Sercio, he will be able to emulate NGC through Dolphin perfectly, full speed.

But it is a fake, the thread cos him money and he will start to nag the coders because of that, he will start to nag us here because of that...he bought the computer that Emutalk said that will run Doplhin but it did not!

The coders may ask EMTK admins to take out Dolphin section, even m,ay cripple the emulator because of noob nagging, DS emu coders are considering that as we speak.

The emulation community, as a whole, only loses when ppl try to grab attention faking progress.
For me, potentially costing ppl money, endanger the natural flow of an emulator and wasting ppl´s time is worth of a ban.

[n-phreak]

Ok i am very, very , very confused.
are the videos fake?
are all the screeshots fake?

if they are, i am going to cry.

[Xtrash]

I think it is fake
I had a 2.4 northwood Ti4200 512MB ram and ran the ZeldaWW like very slow
And now I have Manchester 3800+(2 X 2.0Ghz) 2 GIG RAM Geforce 7800GTX. I thought the fps is going to be at least 2 or 3 increased but there was REALLY NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE!!!. I think even with FX-60 the game will still be SlOW. In other words, it is UNPLAYABLE
Yeah FX-60 will be much better than X2 3800+ but not in Dolphin.
And your CPU 4800+? Dolphin only uses 1 CPU if u check CPU usage with Ctrl + Alt + DEL
you can see second core is doin nothing.

Your CPU is not even o/c'd and your GPU is still 7800GT SLI.
I can't find any advantages of u r system that can run the games TAHT fast.
What's your 3dmark06/05 scores anyway?
I would probably trust u if u r graphics card was like 7900GTX Quad SLI.

[TerraPhantm]

Even if he had quad SLI, dolphin would run the same speed, because dolphin's limiting factor is the CPU, not GPU. Not to mention that no system today is fast enough to feed those 4 graphics card information. (XPS renegade is pure marketing).

Just for the sake of arguement, one of these days I'll try running dolphin on my friend's system which has an Opteron 170 at 2.8GHz and X1900s in crossfire.

The Dolphin emu gotta have a pretty bad core if it can't distrubute a "normal" framerate for some graphics that existed in 1998. No but seriously i've lurked here for a couple of years and the progress was allways slow.

You could probably build something good after 3years if you actually spend time doing it. Just look at dolphin, 2D sprite games having 3fps. Something is seriously wrong with the coding if you can't even get a 2D game for gamecube to run with 4GHz and SLI. And you "guys" (not TerraPhantm in person) keep whining "but it has another cpu, blah blah blah.. it has other hardware blah blah blah".

But yeah i have to say before you start asking me "Can you code?" "Stop complaining when you can't do anything better yourself!" Seriously dudes, like i said before, if you can't get sprite games to work in your emu, you probably should quit like you already did (Dolphin-Emu team), because if you can't get lower graphics to work under high end computers today. You pretty much suck at coding.

Yes, if i could code something super awesome at that with some neato core and some stuff i wouldn't be sitting here and whine, but i can't, So im gonna whine.

Sprite-based games aren't blazingly fast in Chankast or PCSX2 either, and the Gamecube is overall more powerful than both the consoles they emulate. It doesn't take a genius to understand that emulating a complex system is never easy, no matter what is being displayed on the screen.

Dolphin is closed source so no one can comment on the quality of the code. Saying that Dolphin is 'bad code' is more a declaration of ignorance than anything else. Your derogatory comments have earned you a ban.

I cannot state dolphin is bad!
Compares sometimes other emulates with dolphin!
Project 64 needs a 1,5Ghz and 256Mb Ram to play clearly!!
The Original Nintendo 64 has only ~150 Mhz and 4 Mb Ram...
The Gamecube has ~490 Mhz and 40Mb !!!
See!
Dolphin needs normally hardware which is only much higher in the requirement!
If somebody can not play games at Dolphin Then he should buy to himself a Gamecube!

Yes i know, i'm "banevading" but thats only because i think your banreason is silly, you must've been in this community for a long time and you haven't learned not to take offense from what other people tell you, just like kindergarten.

Anyways my definition of bad code is 2fps on high-end computers, If you think thats some hardcore coding that is superior to everything, Thats fine for me, i'm still gonna call it bad code because that's what it is. If you guys would've released it opensource maybe i would've said something else, but you're not. Why not? I don't know, maybe you just want to keep those 2fps coding for yourself, you might learn something after a few years, Let other people edit your code? No No No! lets not do that, they would just ruin it and put their name on stuff we did!

Thats somewhat what you probably think, atleast i think that you think so (How strange). Anyways what i really want to know is what was your goal with Dolphin? (I said was because you've only released 1 update in soon 1.5 year, that kinda says dropped in my ears)

Was it to have it closed source, make it 2fps and then just quit because YOU think it's not possible to make it any better with the current high end computers? Graphics is Graphics, it's just some raw data, its your choice what to do with it, You guys seem to want to dump 45 of the same textures into the dump and then play it up with 2fps. Ok ok, i shouldn't really be talking about this kind of stuff since i probably have NO idea what you guys are able to do. But since you're "final" product is rather, "laggy?" i have nothing other to say.

Before you actually started reading this you probably already said "damn thats a fucking retard, i'll ban him again for banevading" yeah, im pretty fucked up, i just wanted to explain to you what i meant, and it's pretty hard to do that without banevading so i did.

If you now deside to ban me again, thats fine, i won't put on 2000proxys and then spam the forum or anything, (yes im being serious here, im not trying ot threat you or anything) so yeah, fine with me.

Thats all i think, i kinda fucked up earlier writing this thing and then when i posted i kinda switched proxy so i got autologged out and that was silly, so i had to write it fast this time and probably left some crap out but yeah.
Anyways if you want to contact me about random crap or something after you ban me or just want to flame me: slush [squirly-a] pirog [dot] se

Lets use your math, the gamecube stuff adds up to "high-end" computers of today, You should also learn better english, what are you? like german or something. I'm swedish and i know better grammar then you, are you like 12 or somethign with your daddys computer? or are you like 18 with sucky grammar, you should've gone to school more, but lets stop talking about that.

It still adds up to what high-end computers got today, but yeah gamecube and the n64 cpu's and what it can be are diffrent, but yeah, you're still suppose to be able to have atleast something better then 3fps, Atleast to 2D Sprite-games that can be played with some GBA emu on 800MHz.

Edit:
Oh yeah i forgot, i own a gamecube, i'm just bored, wanted to try out my games on the pc and see how far the "emu-evolution" had gone. I wasn't impressed.

[...]what are you? like german or something.
Should be "where are you from" or are you a damn racist?
And yeah, i'm german, too. Wanna attack me 2, because i'm just german??? We're all humans and you're not better than him or than me.

I saw some of his images that was either german or some other language, i was just "assuming" that he was german, and that his grammar was bad.

Slating developers hard work in your first post in the forum when you have no coding experience gives you no credibility. I banned you for showing no respect, and it was very much a deserving ban in my view.

You look to be just a kiddie who only cares about framerate and not technical achievement. We get people like you who don't understand emulation register everyday, but usually they don't insult developers in the process.

You think that high framerates are possible with existing hardware?

1. Graphics power means almost nothing in emulation.
2. Dolphin already uses dynamic recompilation to boost speed.
3. Dolphin to my knowledge is completely LLE.
4. Multicore CPUs are not taken advantage of. Even PCSX2 with a larger developer team have only just added support for it and the yields are poor.
5. Dreamcast emulation brings almost all systems to their knees. Chankast is highly optimised next-gen emulator.
6. The Dolphin team do not have the complete documentation of the hardware.
7. The Dolphin team are doing this for FREE in their own time as a proof of concept that compatible GC emulation is possible on x86 systems, not to please slush/pie or freeloaders. The Dolphin Team cannot devote a lot of time to Dolphin as they would like.
8. Even if only sprites are displayed, it makes little difference to the requirements, since the core of the system still needs to be emulated, which means it'll be slow regardless.

The Dolphin Team could have just withheld the emulator since it doesn't meet your ridiculous standards, but instead decided to share their work. You are not even a developer so you are making a big fool of yourself.

Good day.

I live in Germany, however, am German nobody! I was born in Germany and also speak perfectly in German! Indeed, mine is not better in English than here in forum because I to me really strives itself gives around silly ones ask to answer!

Ok, this thread has gone WAY TOO FAR off-topic , lots of hate and crap in there I can't be arsed to read. I will now close this thread to avoid any more drama.
