The point is that the new stable will have a ton of fixes and improvements compared to the old stable. Dev never stops. So 5.0 will be a massive, massive goody bag for people who only use stable builds. At that point, stable will have caught up a lot, but not all the way, compared to dev builds.

Which is a large part of the point. Those that prefer stability over the latest and greatest features have a choice. Those that want the shiniest new features and are willing to put up with some bugs and possible stability issues also have a choice.

October Progress Report! Dolphin 5.0 has been delayed so it can have all the new stuff, and various tweaks and fixes are added to the tally. In semi-related news, Wii U emulation is now a thing. A very early thing that only kind of works, but hey, walk before you can run, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyvDqbSxEB0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0XoNcZJozY

I'm trying to emulate Rogue Squadron 2 on Dolphin, and I just can't get it to work. Using the latest stable version, the sound stutters incredibly, I get really low frame rates, and in menus the bottom half of the screen is all janky (the whole screen in mission). On any of the newer dolphin builds, the game runs at 5 FPS, no matter the settings. My computer is an i-5, with an R9 290, etc etc, runs Witcher 3 on highest. What magic combo of settings do I need to use? I've tried all of the graphic and sound options, but there are so many I assume there must be a combination I need to do, or I am just doing something fundamentally wrong.

Rogue Leader might actually be the hardest GC/Wii game to emulate because Factor 5 were insane programmers. It's surprising you're actually getting any kind of sensible output at all. e: v Also yes, use a dev build, the "stable" is not actually stable at all. Admiral H.

I even downloaded the same version that person was using, but still 5 FPS (like it actually is really slow, and takes about 2 minutes to get past the opening screen.

Well, this is interesting: https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2015/11/12/rodea-releases-for-WiiU-3DS-and-Wii/ It seems like the game is getting panned review-wise, I wonder if the Wii version in Dolphin would rate higher?

I watched the Quick Look, and the Wii version looks like it just plays better. The game was meant for the Wii-mote. With that being said, I can imagine first-print copies that come with the Wii version are going to be worth something down the line. Also, I'm trying to emulate Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Battles run super smooth, but I'm getting glitched transitions and slowdown on the overworld. I tried disabling EFB to textures only like the wiki says, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I don't have any anti-aliasing or v-sync on, and the game is scaling at its native resolution. I have an AMD FX 6100 six-core processor and 8 gigs of RAM.

TTYD is one of those games that seems like it should be easy to emulate but actually uses the GC hardware in ways that are rather difficult to emulate correctly. Try updating your GPU drivers and switching which implementation of Direct3D and OpenGL you're using. Also try enabling Sync GPU in the game properties. Also, and this really should go without saying at this point, but make sure you're using a recent development build. Do not use the 4.0 stable!

I installed the latest dev build. Everything seems to be working fine now, except when the tutorial battle started I got an error that said "memory stride is too small." Other people have gotten this error, but I can't seem to find an actual solution to it.

It's a recent bug with how we do EFB copies. We're still looking into it. Try using a slightly older dev build for now.

It's time for another progress report! The Internet Channel works again, one of the causes of Metroid Prime's stuttering is quashed (though others still remain), real Gamecube controllers no longer rumble forever if you close the emulator before the controller gets told to stop rumbling, hardcore homebrew emulators are thrown at Dolphin for compatibility testing/comedy purposes, and one tester racks up a lot of homework to do.

I don't have an answer to that question, but I do know there HD texture patches for the N64 versions of those games... But I'm guessing you're looking for Master Quest.

If I remember right, the Virtual Console versions have some minor glitches but unless you want to play the 3DS remakes or track down physical copies of the N64 games, are the best way to play them. Emulation for the N64 is kind of terrible. Oh and don't pick up the Zelda's Collector's Edition. Ocarina works somewhat okay, but Majora's Mask is a horrible mess in that collection.

If Majora's Mask froze, you lost everything you did since the start of that 3-day cycle. The Zelda games are fine in N64 emulators, but I've heard the latest version of Project64 installs malware or something, so avoid it.

That loving Sned posted:If Majora's Mask froze, you lost everything you did since the start of that 3-day cycle. They're mostly fine. OoT fucks up in the rain cutscene in Kakariko and you can't properly see the thing coming out of the well and looking around in first person while it rains is very likely to crash the game. MM can go completely black when the screen shrinks for the day transition and Pirate's Fortress is prone to crashing immediately.

If you absolutely must use an N64 emulator for PC, I'd honestly just use Retroarch and the Mupen64Plus Core for it. It has slightly better compatibility than Project64 and doesn't try to install a bunch of adware and malware.

I asked this question on the Dolphin forums but they weren't that helpful, maybe someone here can give me a better answer. Basically, I'm looking at buying a new laptop and would like to be able to run Dolphin on it. I understand that I probably won't be turning up the resolution or doing anything fancy, but just a solid fps would be nice. Anyway, the majority of laptops in my budget that I see have CPUs with the U suffix which indicates low voltage. Apparently these are weak performance wise, though I have seen posts from people saying they've got decent results. So I want to know if anyone here has used Dolphin on something like an i5-5200u (a processor I keep seeing come up) and can give me their opinion. I also wonder if I'd be better off going for a previous generation CPU with the M suffix, as apparently this may be more powerful despite being older. Any thoughts welcome

Paperhouse posted:I asked this question on the Dolphin forums but they weren't that helpful, maybe someone here can give me a better answer. Emulation is basically all close speed. The only recommendation is to get the fastest clocked CPU you can. This tends to make laptops exceptionally awful for emulation, but if it's what you're aiming for, then just look at the clock-rate. If you're looking for a minimum bar, 3.0ghz is probably it. I have no idea what the laptop market is like, but... well, good luck.

You should shoot for Skylake if you can (i5/i7-6XXX) since that'll have performance increase associated with it. If you can get something with an M suffix that would be great increase in speed, but that becomes a size/price issue obviously. Also you can downclock the emulated CPU core now, so even if you machine isn't strong enough for some games, you should be able to downclock to some success.

I suppose you could just use Mupen64Plus over the Retroarch frontend but it's an emulator that uses an entirely command line interface, not a graphical one so it'd have a steep learning curve. Retroarch is easier to navigate.
