Why has the dolphin emu progressed more than other console emulators?

Hmmm, some people say this whole emulation thing is a race, but I have some words for those people. YOU SUCK.
But seriously now, emulation is not really considered a race, but so long as you aren't pissing anyone off by saying it is, then whatever. But to me, emulation is more of a progression in pc-console gaming, I know I buy all my consoles (except for the HOLYSHITTHATSBIG xbox), but it's cool to be able to play your games on your pc with a keyboard, with anti-aliasing, 1600x1200 resolution, save states, wav logging, and other cool stuff. It's just an exciting thing!

hmmm, @Viper_Viper:
CXBX is fast, that's right! It runs at fullspeed but this MUST be because of technical reasons... CXBX is not an emulator like dolphin, pcsx2 or any other console-emu. It's even more a wrapper... like WINE (even WINE is not an emu as the name already says ;D). It has not to emulate the games on a foreign hardware-architecture because the xbox is an ibm compatible pc - not more or less. So it has only (...) to port the XBEs to windows compatible executables formerly known as EXEs ;D
Dolphin has to emulate the gpu, cpu,... and as long as this is not optimized, it will not run very fast or at fullspeed.

So, speed is not everything that tells progress

Gladiac, the Xbox may have similar architecture as a pc in some areas, but it is just as hard to emulate as any of the other consoles out at the present time.
Oh and Mr Ball Slice, that is waaay too big of a sig picture, try sizing it down by at least 50%.

hmpf, in some areas?
Have a look @ http://www.xbox-linux.org/docs/xboxpc.html...
Hmmm, i think that it has to be theoretically easier because you need not to emulate any sound/graphics/blahblah hardware since the architecture is the same. That does by god not mean that it is easy and Caustik did great work on programming cxbx.

Hmm, I shall reply to this with a quote from homer simpson.

Best post ever :) Sadly I have had to give the poster of it a very large kick in the nuts, perhaps a kick in the head would also be a good idea. Couldn't do much damage anyways.

maybe because they don't even know when they will release it! there never is any fixed dates, it's released when it's ready , no news normally = no real big progress.
