I have never dolphined a game before. I own an awesome pc and a wii. I have come to the conclusion that I must play xenoblade, now should I go through the trouble and set up dolphin?
so...i just came across a leaked build of killer 7 from a year before release, but it won't boot in this. but, you understand, i have to play it and, ideally, report the results here, if i won't get the smack down. I think it might be the build that the early trailers were made from.
this is the first thing I've tried running in dolphin and it just gives me a black screen...is there a typical fix for this? one weird thing is that the build is supposed to be pal, but the ISO details say NTSC-U.
Try the build meant for the leaked Metroid Prime 3 build? Or otherwise make sure 128mb of ram is enable for the emulator? I think it was worked into the normal builds of Dolphin, but I dont know how it works. The idea being that if it was in development, it likely has a bunch of debugging code left over. If you need any help, let me know.
So gaf, I know cpu is more important when it comes to emulation, but will I see any benefits if I upgrade my gpu to HD79xx from HD6870? cpu is 2500k.
You'll be able to use a higher internal resolution (or in other words, more anti-aliasing)
Has anyone tried using their rMBP with Dolphin? Might give it a go later tonight but I'm not hopeful I'll get playable speed.
EDIT: Nevermind - there's literally someone talking about it on this very page..
Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex in my mailbox today.
Ripped it.
Works good, some slowdowns here and there (but I blame my ultra high settings).
The game, meh, not as I remembered, feels better playing #1-2-3 on PSX. Still better than what came after.
Wait, you imported that? Is it playable without speaking Japanese?DQMBV
turns out my killer 7 copy isn't any different than retail...darn
Fucking Last Story, every time I fix something I play for an hour then some other problem crops up, this time it's not letting me save...
I've been following Dolphin for a while now, but only since it is in the near future I may finally get myself a desktop to run it (I doubt my laptop is anywhere near capable of meeting the minimum requirements), can any of you guys recommend Gamecube USB adapters or controllers on the cheap (relatively speaking)? I was checking out the blissbox, but even if I got 4 gamecube ports, it only works for one player, and I'm not up to spend $35 per box for a single port each.
I saw another little box on ebay that seemed really worthwhile, 2 controller ports on one USB adapters, but there was a warning on the bottom of the page saying that it doesn't work with Wavebird controllers. I lived in a house with rabbits (may they rest in peace), and they made sure I went all wireless. Even the one gamecube controller I have wired that mostly works, they chewed the cable just enough to kill the Z button.
Is there anything else anyone was using, or should I just go for the ebay adapter and hope to find 1st party gamecube controllers for cheap?
Hey, I just cleaned up the OP, not that anyone checks it anymore. The broken links and old info broke my heart.

This is awesome, thanks.Wii/GCN games on Steam WITH Overlay
First thing you have to do is add the Dolphin emulator to the Steam library as a Non-Steam game.
Next you go into the properties of the emulator through Steam. Just right click it in the Steam menu then click on "Properties"
Where it says Target change it to something similar to this:
"E:\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe" /e "F:\Gamecube\Double Dash.iso" /b
The first part is the location of the application for your emulator. The /e lets the emulator know to run this .iso when it starts. The second file location is the .iso you want the emulator to run and the /b closes the emulator when you exit the game.
After doing all that the game should work perfectly with Steam!
To do multiple Wii games on Steam simply make a copy of the application (not a shortcut) and repeat the process with a separate .iso
PM me if you have any questions, I am glad to help anyone out.
Have a screenshot!
This is awesome, thanks.
What's the best dolphin build for The Last Story?
Quick question. Recently upgraded from an old Q6600 to an ivy bridge i5 3570k, but I still have a 6770. Games like SMG2 run mostly fine at 2x res with no AA, but there are constant moment-long chugs, especially playing with LLE (the "middle option" one) to enable background music. Is the 3570k still not quite enough for wii games at 100%, or is the less than awesome video card holding everything back?

Haven't overclocked the 3570k (or the 6770), and I have 16gb ddr3 so that shouldn't be an issue for a long while lol. CPU is 3.4 with 3.8 'turbo' so I was hoping it'd be enough without needing to overclock, but I guess there isn't any real reason not to. I know it won't be very much but I need to see how far I can safely push it with stock cooling.
