forgive my bad english but im chilean
we speak spanish here

i was just wondering
can you just use a program to emulate pixel shader?
i think you can use 3d analyzer but i already tested that
Dolphin just crash when loading a game

2. i have noticed that when you activate wireframe inside of a game
the next frame that the screen shows .. its perfect? shades, textures ....everything

i was playing mario sunshine then i activated the wireframe mode and !voila!
i could see delphino plaza for a split of second, i could also see mario's water stream

i'm going to try to make a screenshot

here is the pic
i tried with the water stream but it don't show anymore...
only a Wired blue ball

without wireframe mode i can see the reflections of the water pack
the textures of princess peach are perfects (i think the umbrella is still white)
mario textures are wrong but at least has color
the movies are black and white and i can't see them (too fast???)
unsuported?

That looks pretty cool!
So the 3DAnalyzer fixed the textures... eh?
Where can I get this, I'd like to test it out.

actually, I already did that with Mario Kart double dash, look in the shot thread, in the first pages.

For ATI Radeon & Nvidia Geforce cards
Smartshader-Effects for Radeon 9500+
Software emulation of GeForceFX
Many other features

So i assume this will emulate the shaders using your CPU. Which would probably cut dolphin's framerate by a nice amount.

atuner can only emulate OGL 1.4 things, not DX9.

I talked to a guy who is doing a PS2.0 emulator (a modified D3D9.dll) to run it software.

You only play Mario: Sunshine at ~2 fps?

I can play him at 40fps in movie and ~8fps in game.

But the wireframe mode is desactived, I on the wireframe mode and test.

Insert clever rhetoric here.

There's a utility called 3danalyse that you can try... don't count on it working with Dolphin but.
