Wow... i'm on the school compu now - the teacher put on a surround set and a TFT monitor! looks good! exept the wall of motherboard ;)

<QUOTE>video capture it a game like super mario sunshine or some game with graphics glitches so we no its dolphin (this I gotta see)</QUOTE>

Yeah i'll do that! I only got Zelda:TWW ok?

Whoa...you must have lousy video card. Most of us have better video card and this game is nearly perfect. What video card do you have ?! :yucky:

Lousy video card? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! :alien2: Well the video CARDS are 2 nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX's!!! You know how much that cost?! well if you get better video i just guess Dolphin is'nt yet properly running on these cards yet... or maby we have to check out the threads again... all PC games are running ok - the only problem is all the data is going to the first nVidia and everything thats too much goes to the second... we're working on splitting it to the both of em.

Yeah, I understand that..but check zelda screen shots somewhere that posted by CKEMU...that graphic is nearly perfect in it.

I am sorry to say that but I am not expert, thought. ;)

[*cough] photoshop... you would expect that with a top of the line video card you would not have all of those graphics glitches(ZWW has no graphics glitches, it just runs slow), on my nVidia ge force fx 5200 i get better than that, and show something like MKDD or SMS, (preferably SMS) that has graphics glitches, and this time video it so we can see how fast it goes and do not edit it.

another thing why the @#$% would you be playing gamecube games on a computer you built in college, i mean GC emulation is cool but it is not something i could get everyone in my class to agree on because im one of the only ones at my school who takes intrest in the gamecube, everyone is "too cool for the gamecube"

so um will it be possible in the future when dolphin reaches perfection we will be able to play gc games as good as we play it on a n64?
and please spare me of all the pc stuff i dont understand most of that.
(sorry for my bad english).

Even if Dolphin's code were perfectly optimized, there are still some things that the Gamecube can do better/faster than current PCs. Not to mention a completely different processor architecture that is computationally intensive to emulate for regular PCs. With work, compatibility bugs and speed could be improved, but full speed emulation will not be possible on current PCs, though with new advances being made with multi-core processors, it may soon be more likely if the emulator can be well-optimized to take advantage of these features.

Just so you know this isn't really true. For all practicle reasons it most likely is. But it is in theory perfectly possible to write a program for the computer which could read in binary gamecube files and then convert it into x86 code. I mean don't go expecting anyone to make something that does this and works. It's incredibly unlikely, but it is in theory possible. Although to be hoenst it's most likely easier to simply take a game and remake it from scratch for the PC, then build a utility that could convert them properly.

That's true - static recompilation would eliminate some of the runtime lags that plague current emulators, but to my knowledge, no one has ever written a static recompiler for such a complex system (or that would translate so much code). The architecture difference between the Gamecube's CPU and an x86 processor would further complicate things. Like you said, in theory it's possible, but in practice, it's just not going to happen.

no ones written a static recompilation but who heres seen what thakis has done in the general GC emulation section and he said something about writing something like that for the beginning of MKDD, somebody should do something like that for animal crossing its 32 MB
