Dolphin and warp-pipe?

**ViperK8B** · September 30th, 2004, 08:20

does anyone think it would be possable in the future of this emulator to use warp-pipe (online program for gamecube) with dolphin?

Your jumping the gun, neither Dolphin or the warp-pipe project are advanced enough. Eventually I'm sure that Dolphin will have online play features, but I'm sure that is a long LONG way off.....

when dolphin is nearly completed i think dolphin will make its own online program rather than using the warp-pipe(its just a maybe so dont ask the emu author to make it)

Dolphin will never have anything like this ... ever ... ever!! ... i'm so sure of it. how many emulators are out there that support networked gaming? ... Gameboy Advance is supposed to be made for network gaming and it's still pretty much impossible to do it on that platform ... don't even dream of this ever happening on the Dolphin. if the authors are reading this, please back me up!

Pessimism won't get you anywhere!! Nice to hear your opinion, but asking for the Dolphin authors to back you up sounds lame....

remember its a maybe but dont say its impossible.maybe dolphin can be made for network gaming.(like i said earlier,dont ask the emu author to do network gaming)your asking the authors to back you up?

instead of that why not dont ever dream about this ever happening on this thread

And you from all the people know that

.But if it is your opinion then ok.I on the other hand will wait until GameCube emus get more efficent you know

i know a heck of alot more about programming than anyone else (anyone who's arguing this so far) ... so it's my educated statement that Dolphin will not be enabled for networked gaming ... even if the author promised it would ... it won't!! ... you would have to emulate the protocol, establish a service (server(s)), handle the timing issues (because everyone's computer is running the emulator at different speeds) ... those 3 reasons alone makes it impossible. if it was just 1 reason, i would say it would be a long shot ... but no ... it's impossible ... i only had to list 3 reasons and i hope everyone can come down from their clouds back into reality.

P.S. emulating and handling the emulated protocol would probably be as big a task as emulating the Gamecube period. (that's my opinion)

or maybe i'm completely wrong ... is there anyone who's more qualified here to say otherwise?

Qualified

And you are so smart and great and you know everything about GC emulation in and out

If you know so 'much' about programming, go put it to use. Help the Gamecube emulation scene, just don't sit there and complain, and be pessimistic.

Dolphin will most likely ( if the project doesn't stop. ) get networking at some point in time. Might be a long time though, but we can only hope. Emulating the Gamecube might be a big feat, but don't doubt emulator coders. They can do some amazing things. ( IE. A PC mouse emulating a SNES mouse. )
