Dolphin / Emulation thread

>>283555246

The first time I tried Dolphin it was a piece of shit and I never went near it again. Started it up again the last month or so and I've never been so impressed with an emulator. Those fuckers are working magic, I swear. Imagine if the Wii U was able to reproduce that from actual game disks?

Welcome to the master race, OP

Do you just make terrible posts so people would post in your threads?
Well fuck you, I'mma sage this shit.

When they manage to find a way to make all the huds not look like 1970s tier jaggy vomit, i'll give it a go. It's fucking unplayable for like 90% of games.

I was supposed to try this one game on either Dolphin or PCSX2 because I've wanted to try it out for a while.
But then I got on my PC and forgot the name of the game. Fuck.

It's the only issue I have, but playing at any resolution higher than fucking 720p gives it horrible jaggies on anything menu or text related.

Same shit with most gen5 or later emulation really.

>>283556670
Emulation won't automagically fix HUDs being designed for standard-definition displays beyond custom texture loading.

>upscaling 4:3 native games to 16:9

>>283557249
I know. Which is why I won't bother playing it until it does. Even if that never happens, no skin off my nose. I have a PS2 and a wii, both softmodded.

>>283557297
Mostly just blurs the shit out of stuff. Which is better but there are still lines in games like ring of red, that cover the entire screen because of other issues.

I don't have a problem with emulation. IF you guys like it better, more power to you. I just don't care enough when I can just as easily play the games on the actual machine and not have to deal with tweaking settings.

>>283557297
So I'm guessing you got the iso from Coolroms then, fuck me

The only bugs I still get in dolphin are from games that previously had zero compatibility at all. It even runs Rogue Squadron.

My fucking nigga.

Anyone who does not adhere to aspect ratios is instant shit-tier human to me.

Why would you do that when most games can be rendered 16:9 internally by any competant emulator? And does that guy even know what upscaling means?

What blur? Use sharpening or a bump map shader if you feel it's too blurry. That looks fine to me.

Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine have a heatwave effect in the distance, but on an old SDTV the effect is wasted.

You can disable/greatly enhance the blurry dof thing with one of the settings and he did by the looks of it.

Did you actually look at the last updated dates for those 3-star compatibility titles?

Most of them were checked over a year ago, and are titles nobody gives a shit about.

Hey, /v/.

I haven't had much time to play video games due to my increasingly work-intensive schedule/lifestyle.

Could you guys recommend any GameCube/PS2 game which is both fun and short/non-time consuming?

Thanks.

Wind Waker renders things in the distance at a lower resolution. It's not too bad, just a little annoying. It's even more noticeable at a lower resolution.

>>283559067
>implying

>>283559151
The point I'm making is, if anyone feels like trudging through a backlog of shit games to see if they work or not, they'll probably see a lot of them go from 3-star to 4 or 5-star.

The only way to reduce the distance blur, as far as I know, is to increase internal resolution and AA, while Scaled EFB Copy is checked. So, if your machine can't handle an especially high internal res+AA, you may be stuck with a bit of that blur.

Also fix aspect ratio please.

Get the Ported_Shaders.zip and use the bump map shader, tweak it to be really subtle. And/or use reshade or sweetfx to add some sharpening on top, it will help a lot. Looks fine to me though.

>>283559231
Don't start that shit, there's only three options here:

It doesn't exist.
It's on some private website.
I'm a high functioning retard.

All evidence so far points to one with hints of three.

>>283559372

And you're browsing 4chan. Obviously your time is worth nothing. You are worth nothing.

>>283559515
>I'm a high functioning retard.
You got it, the other two don't apply.

>>283559067
There's literally a 40GB pack of Wii/GC isos which has most of the relevant games in there.

Just for reference, I should've included that that screenshot was taken at 4x native res and 4xSSAA with the DX9 backend, and as you can see, there's no noticeable blur in it.

oh god it was so awful. though apparently a lot of it served as the base for PPSSPP, so it wasn't all a waste.

To be fair, that blur was in the game, and gave the game a really fantastic effect on CRTs. The reason why it looks like shit on Dolphin comes from the fact that it was designed to be played at 480i in 4:3, not 1440p.
