What's the last playable build? I grabbed one of the completely up-to-date ones the other day and I can't actually use it to play anything and I don't want to go all the way back to 4.0.2. edit: never mind, found the issue - for some reason my frame limit got set to 5 fps instead of auto flatluigi fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Jan 7, 2015 |

Wow, this is actually running rather well at the moment. I remember the days of 5-10 FPS and music bugging out, but besides a few hitches this seems to be working almost flawlessly.

For future reference, the Dolphin Wiki is pretty great and lets you look up the more popular games to see if they have specific issues or if they stopped being compatible with some recent build.

The game wikis also have links to the associated forums thread where they talk details about how to run the game and solve problems. They basically use the wiki like how SA uses OPs. It is very helpful.

PPSSPP went from most games being unplayable to shockingly good speed and compatibility in the blink of an eye, but every emulator is different. I guess it's cool that 3DS emulation is making some progress. Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 10:54 on Jan 9, 2015 |

The bit of code that allows over/underclocking the GCN CPU just got added to the builds: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ (patch info) Basically, what this means is you can jack up the processor speed to run certain games at a much higher framerate. quote:Underclocking can speed up your performance, while overclocking speeds up the emulated processor. This is really interesting and I'd love to see a list of games this works well with.

That's basically the trick Chankast used to cheat out some extra performance for a lot of games. It seems like you barely ever see it in emulators, probably because by messing around with the emulated cycle rate, you're bound to create all sorts of problems.

Yeah I was going to say, that sounds like it might cause speed glitches since as far as I know, a lot of console games controls are tied to the framerate.

I'm new to Dolphin, and I'm wondering, is there a way to make text and other 2D elements in certain games not look like this?   I know 2D stuff doesn't upscale well, but I've seen games where text/general 2D stuff doesn't look as ugly as that. Or is it just worse with certain games than others? And I'm currently playing at 2x native with no other enhancements.

Not really. you can apply filtering to text, but all that usually does is make it blurry. There is no way for the emulator to really know when a texture is a hud element (text), or any other texture for 3D models. The sort of texture filtering that is good for one, is not necessarily good for the other. The only other option is texture replacement, which is possible, and there are some fan made packages for games like Wind Waker, but chances are you're poo poo out of luck, unless you're willing to sit down and edit the text/hud elements yourself

I actually did try texture filtering for Fire Emblem, which makes the text look better to me, but it adds these lines on the characters' faces.

You can make HD textures for them yourself, or when available use someone else's HD texture pack which may or may not clash with the overall art style.

Yeah it seems like overclocking doesn't really benefit most games, nearly every title that runs at 30FPS is locked there. Underclocking seems cool for lower spec systems though.

Apparently underclocking basically makes using a Shield Tablet an extremely viable platform for Dolphin now. Obviously some games will be a little choppier with a lower clock, but a lot of games are more playable now than ever before.

Speaking of hacks, is there any way to disable the culling of "offscreen" objects that happens in a bunch of games with the widescreen hack on? I really like being able to play games in widescreen but the culling is just obnoxious. I know it's an out there question but I swear I've heard of someone doing it in at least one game so it can't hurt to ask.

Like in Wind Waker, if you have the widescreen hack on, objects that move to where the "black" used to be disappear? There's nothing concrete about how to fix that but the dolphin wiki has an AR code you could try.

If you widen the projection matrix, you have to render more than usual. It's culling those polys for good reason.

There is a code for Metroid Prime. No idea about the sequels or TTYD. http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/2p8nc7/metroid_prime_is_an_amazing_vr_experience/ https://forums.oculus.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=11241&start=620

I'm having a problem with the emulated wiimote, I'm trying to play Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz and it keeps pulling the monkey to the left without me touching anything. I also tried Excite Truck and the truck was pulling to the side the whole time as well. I'm using a Dual Shock 4 controller and here's my wiimote setup  Is there something there that I've set up stupidly to cause this? edit - just to be clear, it seems to work and I can control the monkey, it's just pulling to the left the whole time.

Clitch posted:Turn up the dead zone, incrementally, until it stops. I just tried that, set it all the way up to 50 (the highest it seems) and it still did it. So I tried turning the controller off and tested with keyboard controls, I only set up the A button so I could get into the game, and it was still pulling to the left. I'm guessing it's something with the Dolphin config, I'll mess around with it a bit. edit - Deleted the whole config folder, started over, and it still happens. I also tried Mario Kart Wii and that pulls to the right smh Samuel L. ACKSYN fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Jan 30, 2015 |

The January progress report is up, and it's a hefty one. Z-freeze, underclocking, overclocking, texture pooling, and most importantly of all... Gamecube Keyboard emulation!

Wow Rogue Leader is really running very well. Shame about the music though. It's still choppy/crackling like mad on both DSP HLE/LLE. Guess I'll wait till it gets fixed, because there's no SW without the amazing music
