El Dolphin emulator thread

Bumped this thread rather than make a new one because it's not really a major blow to the future of the emulator. Still, unfortunate. PS2 and Wii/Gnomecube emulation have come a long way in the past few years, but losses are difficult to replace when it's just a community of enthusiasts.

edit, wtf, just read the OP.
you should have made a new thread you evil man.

Strange feels, i just saw a new dolphin pull request by her on last tuesday on my github watch queue and now

Thanks, you've made me wait five years for this.

The only good thing that came from the Dolphin is it's ability to emulate Gamecube games. You know, since Gamecube is much better console than the Wii.

Fibromyalgia doesn't exist and fuck the internet for making people think it is a thing.

Incoming shitstorm.

Also RIP, she was pretty cool.

On the codex, tranny attention-whoring is rewarded, not punished.

I'm not a lazy piece of shit so I looked it up. It's muscle pain. How does that not exist?

Taking a handful of unrelated ailments and calling them a disease.

Oh I have a headache, I'm tired often and my knees hurt, clearly I have cranialpatellaritis

Had a great experience with Code Veronica X on gamecube using this - much better than REZero's Wii port. I might try Shattered Mammaries next.

From other thread:

Shattered Memories is quite... an experience. Absolutely give it a try once, it's a love/hate game.

Unfortunately it appears like emulating Shattered Memories is a no go. The PS2 port is a botch job with lots of missing stuff and the original Wii version is glitchy as hell in latest Dolphin. Plus I couldn't find a decent control scheme for the stupid motion controls and nunchuck. Ah well. Done with SH for now then, plenty else to play on the backlog.

PLZ post your opinion if / when you try it, I plan to play it myself somewhere in the future.

Is the Veronica X Gamecube version superior to the PS2 version?

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

I've played PS2 version, stable framerate, no graphical in-game glitches and cutscenes with higher resolution included.

It's worth noting there's a PS3/360 version of CVX which was ported to capcom's MT Framework engine, meaning it's pretty much the same game but with overhauled dynamic lighting plus some other new effects (e.g. on water). The models/textures are pretty much the same from what I've read. Of course, you won't get the benefits of savestates with that, though you do get MUH CHEEVOS.


Reading up on the Dolphin forums, it seems SH: SM is playable but suffers from pretty significant visual glitches, so I think I'll give it a pass for now.

Tried to play CALLING on the Wii but Dolphin just refuses to recognize my Xbox One controller as a wiimote or wiimote classic extension. Worked fine as a gamecube controller. The mouse and keyboard worked fine (preferable, even) in Umbrella Chronicles but it's unplayable in Calling because you just cannot control the camera at all.

There is a PSP version of shattered memories. IDK if it's graphically worse, but not dealing with shitty motion controls is a plus.

 

[A user named cat]

If the PS2 version is gimped, I can't imagine how shitty the PSP port is.

HELLO. I found you can play Wii games decently on PC with this emulator http://www.dolphin-emu.com/. What games do you recommend? I don't care about the genre.
thanks

It's been years since I ran Dolphin, but let's see if my memory is intact.
Wii: No More Heroes, The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles.
GC: Killer7, Biohazard 4, Biohazard (Remake), Lost Kingdoms, Phantasy Star Online, Eternal Darkness, Fire Emblem, Skies of Arcadia.

Especially Eternal Darkness. That game was ace.

I tried Cursed Mountain but got stuck about 20m into the opening because I can't work out how do mimic the gestures using a gnomepad or kb/m. I noticed that the PC version someone mentioned is sold on Gamersgate and there are reviews from as recently as last year, so perhaps it's still compatible with modern systems. Maybe I should cough up 10 dollars..........

Anyway here are some screens - only glitches I noticed were in cutscenes:

PC version works, but I'm not really sure you want to buy it.

I like playing shitty survival horror games so I can complain about them on the codex

From I've heard this game is mostly... boring. Same shit over and over again.
Have you tried RER2 yet, Ed123 ? If not - you should.
