Dolphin runs Zelda WW!

On the topic of dynarec's. Has any self modifying code been found in or are commercial gamecube games known to use self modifying code? If not then wouldn't static recompilation be plausible?

Also great work by the author! It looks awesome! Also DesktopMan, what connection do you have to the author?

Well, just be exact it compiles code into native binary code. Asm is a low-level programming language, so it needs to be compiled.

you are correct if you are talking about an asm compiler, but we are not in this case :p

Talked to him/her/they sometimes. Since pong (my pong) was the first released homebrew game (not just static picture or the like), I was in contact with emu authors that had questions. Not so much with Dolphin though, since it was already quite advanced.

How you think it would modify it's code? Writing to the disc is no option, only thing i could think of is making code patches to memory card and loading them from there, but it sounds a bit unlikely? Any thoughts?

Gekko doesn't need reverse engineering. It's well documented in free, legal docs from ibm. Thus, writing an interpreter is fairly easy. The next logical step (on the cpu side of things) is dynarec, which of course is a bit more advanced

I meant the gfx chip, whatever it's called...
DM it seems you've become the dolphin's spokesman :)

There's some "cheating" going on :) Some commands etc doesn't really need processing, since just doing it is faster.

btw, it's called flipper.

Euphoria: I didn't really know about selfmodifying code, since I havn't disassembled much. But a safe source tells me that it happens all the time. In ram that is.

I bet there is a way to run these games without a whole mess of a machine. Remember UltraHLE? It ran N64 games on a P2 233mhz at almost full speed. And all the other N64 emus require alot of power. I'm not saying that this is so easy to do and stuff, no I'm not saying that. I'm saying it could be possible so once he gets it running with better graphics and more games, focus on that.

Well, my system used to play roms at around 24 FPS on the N64 emu's, but I used the UltraHLE plugin and got 50+ FPS, so I bet they could do well with the dolphin.
But, how are you gonna play ISO's on this emu? I mean, minidiscs aren't common.

That's what I was wondering. Did he find a way for the Mini-DVD to boot from ur DVD-ROM drive? Or do you have to get them from the internet, and where? (i'm not asking for them, meerly stating questions i had)

EDIT: If you wanna talk about gc emus and stuff with me, send me an IM with aim, yahoo, or msn.

Hey posty, it's a bad idea to even hint towards advice about where to find iso's, roms, etc. because they're illegal. So I'd probably edit your post once more deleting the "where?" question. Bans happen pretty quickly.

Oh, I didn't mean like where to get em, I jus wanted to talk about like how do u think they made them and stuff. Because the GC disks work weird. Sorry if you guys thought I was asking for ISOs. I can find crap like that on my own. I just wanted to know like how they made them. And how the heck will they work anyways. Srry, I'll edit my above post.

EDIT: Any better?

Several isos were released a long time ago. Including zelda. The emulator can a) load the .iso, .ngc or whatever file, or b) map a directory on the computer (say, a demo or an extracted iso) and plays that.

I think that the size of you're ISO is bigger because it's filled with random data

Starcube's release doesnt have all this random data
