A Couple of Questions About the Teaser..

[rezzo]

Hi everyone,

First time post here!

Before I ask my question's I would just like to thank the Dolphin team for making this emulator possible!



So my questions are:

1) My computer spec is:

1.0 GHZ Pentium 3 Processor
384MB DDR RAM
64MB GeForce 2 MX/MX 400

Will it be possible to run games with this spec (providing settings are low)?

... I can play DOOM 3 at a good speed so I would of thought so, I just wanted a professional opinion.

2) Is there a release date for Dolphin? Or is it just done when it's done?

3) What is the difference between the BETA you big guy's have and the TEASER available to everyone?

4) How does Picmin 2 run on the TEASER?

If anyone replies I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Why did you send me an FAQ to a Dreamcast emulator?

He meant this one, I think.

Check the compatibility thread for some of that, too.

thats amazing your computer can play doom 3
sorry if this is off topic, but i tried Doom 3 with these specs:
AMD athlon XP 2500+ @1.8 ghz
64 mb Geforce TI 4200 (i think it was that)
256 mb RAM.

it ran so bad it was almost unplayable (even at 640 x 480 res it ran at a slow framerate). its working okay with my Radeon 9600 256 mb tho. odd

Thats because of the 256 mb ram

he said (provided the settings are low) ... you can turn off a lot of things in Doom 3 including bump mapping. that's what i did with my spare computer:

2.6 Celeron
64mb RADEON 8500LE
512mb RAM

i must say though, it didn't run acceptable at all for me. i think all 3 of those are better than all 3 of rezzo's. (computer on my profile runs doom 3 fine).

has anyone just given the guy a straight answer yet? ... here's mine and i quote myself "don't expect better than 1FPS on anything because you might be disappointed"

[Clements]

Bust-a-Move 3000 may be playable. Then again, a 1GHz Celeron is very slow by today's high standards.

The requirements of Dolphin to run 3D are frightening, and probably will always be, so don't expect too much.

[rezzo]

I don't know about "Bump Settings", In system settings on Doom 3 it is set to low quality and on advanced everything is turned off.

I haven't edited the config and I can play it fine!

It's weird because my friend has Doom 3 installed but it looks crap compared to how mine run's and he has:

1.5 GHZ P3
GeForce 3
512MB RAM

Thanks Sober for answering one of my questions, the FAQ doesn't meet my questions correctly, could I have a personal opinion?
