Hello everybody!
I was wondering why the gcube emulator is so fast in relation to Dolphin ?

You can get the source code of GCube 0.4 and compile it 
.
With some games, GCube 0.4 is better to emulate them.
If you've Gentoo Linux, GCube is in the Portage tree.

I've searched a little bit and found it on AEP emulation... it's a German side, but you can find it very easily!

Yeah... wondered the same some weeks ago... but you know... real life and such stuff! ^^Btw anyone remember when there was post from Monk about releasing new version but then suddenly he disappeared again? I wonder that happened to him
Probably he's still working on it like 0r9 does... *cough*

Emh, sorry to tell, but that's nonsense, if the application is sending data to the API properly, performance differences should be nil.
And if it was the bottleneck, changing between APIs wouldn't give any speed benefit.
remember me?
I'm studying FPGA and try build a GC dvd replacement, it will helps me to run the code to inspect gamecube hardware effectual...
a bit hard...and need more time.
the memory card code is not complete finished, i don't know how the DMA works. so more research must be done.

Sorry I should have been more precise. Gcube skips a lot of the gfx emulation that dolphin emulates through direct x shaders. It just emulates basic stuff like quads textures, etc. If it emulated the shaders it would be much slower.
take a look at the screenshot on gcube's homepage and notice that you see no reflections or other things that shaders are used for.
This the gcube version you talking about?

seems a lot of people were pm ing me for it I said I would just post it seems its very old and useless to me now. haha
yes you are correct in saying that it is the cpu emulation that is the bottleneck in the speed. But what I think the mystery to the thread starter was howcome gcube can compete with dolphin when it is only has an interpreter and no recompiler.
The cpu is not the only factor involved!
Although with a recompiler It is much much faster haha.
EDITED: o so it was you hyperiris I gave that version to a while back. I was confused with names and thought it was Sercio. haha

Nice to see the release also on emutalk...
Btw: how's Winphin going?

Its doing quite well.
Havent been working on it for a while. Until last week that is.:flowers:
Was busy with college, real life. etc.
Im learning opengl at the moment. Reading the three main books on it.
The red blue and orange. www.opengl.org for more info on that.
Hopefully I will make some progress graphics wise. What I am doing right now is writing a disassembler that seperates the blocks. (To debug my recompiler of course and to debug my hle functions which are quite buggy.
Here is a screenie :flowers:
