In the info below, I went and downloaded the version and changed the settings to everything listed. Works pretty good now.

Meh, if you can't use the giant mecha controller then what's the point? JSRF, Panzer Dragoon Orta and RSC2 are much better reasons for wanting an Xbox emulator.

Is it normal for The Last Story to run like dog shit in the city (~20 fps) when there are lots of buildings and NPCs visible? (Sorry for the DP.)
Change EFB copies to RAM until you start the game then change it back to texture.
I would be fine with an HD Mario Party on the Wii U that looked like this.

I've tried running Dolphin, and some games run REALLY slow (RE4 GC, Mario Kart Double Dash and SSBM). I was wondering if it were those games and they need special settings, or if it's my PC?
PC Specs:
AMD Athlon II X4 640
Nvidia GTX 460 v2
4 Gigs of RAM (Only 3.2 is actually read though).

The good ol' before/after comparison.
What are the differences in settings between these two shots?
I'm assuming the only difference is the resolution. First one is probably at the native Wii resolution (so that's how the game would look like on an actual Wii) and the other is 3x or 4x the native resolution.
So the way to get rid of the nasty Wii-mote cross hair you do indeed play with a GC (or emulated GC controller). But you have to start the game with a Real Wii-mote with the nunchuck disconnected. Then when the game asks you to connect the nunchuck, do it, but immediately disconnect it. This will put the Wii version of RE4 in the GC control configuration and put the nice laser pointer back in as your sight. So much easier to aim this way IMO and the GC control is better as well. Plus with the Hi-Res textures for the Wii edition on Dolphin, it makes for the best RE4 experience.
Do save states function properly in RE4? I've had trouble with them in Skyward Sword, but I'm assuming that has to do with the Wii Motion Plus controller.
I just got The Last Story! 
So I was just about to play and then WHAT THE FUCK?!
I'm using 3.0-415...tried to switch DX9/DX11 but the problem persists. Is there anything I need to check/uncheck to fix this? Or maybe its my revision? I'll go search for the one I was using for Xenoblade (7714 I think...or maybe 7716...well something like that.) to do some tests.
Let me know if I can fix this with my actual revision.

They can be problematic when using real controllers, haven't had a problem with save states alongside just emulated controls.
Happens regardless of the build. Graphics -> Hacks tab -> EFB Copies RAM + Enable CacheLet me know if I can fix this with my actual revision.
Can switch back to texture when you get ingame but changing your equipment from there'll bug up the models again.

Man, that was quick! It worked, thanks!
EDIT: How frustrating, the game was working perfectly then it freezed before the first fight after the first mission, I tried many times and it always freeze at the same place. Anything about that too?

Are your freezes just in the video with the audio still playing? Switching to DSP -> LLE + 'DSP LLE on Thread' got rid of any of my crashes.Man, that was quick! It worked, thanks!

They've gotten PokePark 2 running (I'm guessing by extension the original does too). Still running into a few loading screen crashes but nothing progress stopping yet

Xbox 1 controllers are USB with a different connector. Swap out the breakaway cable, and youre good to go. Steel Battalion has drivers for Windows XP, but none for Windows 7. Used it for Mech Warrior years ago.

Haters gonna hate
Is Pokepark 2 worth playing if I'm not at all into Pokemon? I was checking out some footage of the game, and it looked... kinda good.

Looks more like something out of Epic Yarn.

Why aren't you using the widescreen hack?P.N.03 ... LTTP, but having a blast!

Some people prefer to kick it OG style and the widescreen hack can make things funky from time to time with rendering stuff.
I wasn't aware there's a widescreen hack, but now I still wouldn't bother. I always use the original aspect ratio no matter if it's games, movies or tv shows.
He won't respond. BBK just posts (usually jacked up) photos and disappears into the ether.

Hey, I've got a Thinkpad W520 with a Quadro 1000 graphics card, and an on-board Intel graphics card. It's supposed to do automatic switching between the two, but I've got a problem. Dolphin only recognizes the Intel, and not the dedicated graphics card (Intel is the only option under "adapter" in the graphics settings). Anyone know how to get Dolphin to recognize my card?

Everything stays proportional, it just expands the view and renders what's missing.

What are your specs? (and sorry for late reply) As SoA is extremely demanding ( I have i7 2600k stock clock, 580 gtx, and still having some probs keeping the framerate up). And I use either 3.0-432 dirty or 7719m (best build I've used for anything so far).

Wow. I always loved the look of this game. Looks amazing in those shots, so clean and smooth.
Has anyone ever got Radiant Dawn running properly on Dolphin? About 8 months ago I tried to get it running properly for a week but no matter what I tried (including old and new versions) it crashed so much after about 30 min in that it was unplayable. I don't really want to get my soul crushed again, so I'd rather not try again unless somebody else has gotten it working.
Tried "site:http://www.neogaf.com/forum/ radiant dawn dolphin" in google and found absolutely nothing, but sorry if I'm repeating a question or something.

Quickly looking at the Dolphin wiki (I take it you mean Fire Emblem) shows that 3.0-415 should run it well, and it's recommended to disable anisoptric filtering and set scaled copy to efb to fractional.
Dolphin Wiki
Introducing myself to Dolphin later on this evening when i've gotten my Wind Waker-copy from my parents house and hopefully found a way to rip the game with my Wii.
I've noticed the Wind Waker-guide by "Stallion Free" but it's almost two years old and from what i've heard Dolphin is evolving quite rapidly (new builds everyday etc.). Are the problems noted by "Stallion Free"* still there in recent builds?
Furthermore: do the game performance differ a lot between regions (I have a PAL-copy)?
*
'- Sound clipping during the opening cinematic, no fix found.
- Low-resolution looking depth of field effect, fixed by disabling CPU->EFB Access.
- Broken heatwave effect on Dragon Roost Cavern, no fix found.
- The Old Hyrule black & white filter is low-resolution similar to the depth of field effect, no fix found.
- The Old Hyrule transition to color is instantaneous, fixed by re-enabling CPU->EFB Access for the duration.'

Try http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Wind_Waker
The other major rule of wind waker seems to be once you get it working, you must post screenshots of it to show everybody else.
Thanks!
Since i'm running on a mobile sandy-bridgei5 I doubt that I will run it at decent enough resolutions to post a screenshot.
Yeah, that was there then too, didn't work for me. Either whoever tested it didn't play long enough to get the crashes, or there's some incompatibility with my hardware. Probably the latter, unfortunately. Oh well.

Yay, I got Baten Kaitos Origins running for my new playthrough. Awesome <3 Even when I enable the widescreen hack it stays the same at 4:3, though. I take it it won't work if nothing happens.

Not quite, it's definitely a kids game, the only other draw are the pokemons. Even then, should probably go with the first one.
Next to Aspect Ratio in the graphics config you also have to select Force 16:9.
