As for sensor bars, I'm not sure. I didn't want to deal with wireless bars so I got a USB wired one through amazon, which connects to my TV for power.

I wonder if other Triforce games run well on Dolphin!
My specs are as follows
Core i7 2600k
8 GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 570
Windows 7
I have never been able to get wind waker or Xenoblade to run correctly in Dolphin. In Xenoblade everything runs at 30 FPS but with popping audio/stuttering. I have tried using the DSP sound and the issue remains. I have tried tons of different builds including the dolphin-3096-filthyPatch-xbpatch31 build and it does the same thing.
The same thing also happens in Zelda, and really those are the 2 I want to get running right now.
Is there a definitive guide to get these games working at 1080P without issue on a system such as mine?

Hmmmmm you should be getting better results from that system. What settings are you using? Also you could easily run your processor at 4.30Ghz, if you aren't already doing so. That might help.

Can you grab some native 640x480 without AA shots of Mario Kart Arcade GP2? Making sure it's as well reproduced with minimal to no missing graphics. Including the title screen and some menu shots please?
As a rare arcade game, you don't really see much good clean shots of it. And in English IIRC.

Well, what wired one did you buy? I wouldn't mind getting one if it uses USB, so long as I don't have to turn on my Wii.
I think the game itself runs at 25 fps, so that ceiling is normal. Though I'm certain there's a patch out there that allows it to run at 30 fps.
edit: link to patch
Sometimes Dolphin detects the game as a European release so it lowers to a PAL framerate. Or something! I never understood that stuff. The patch causes Dolphin to recognize the game as a Japanese or American NTSC release.
Apologies for asking a newb question:
I'm trying out Xenoblade for the first time and have a 360 PC controller.
I set up the 360 controller under Dolphin's GCPad button. But when I launch Xenoblade it doesnt do anything. How can I make it work from the start? ie: Press Any Key does nothing on the Xenoblade title screen using the pad.

You actually want to set it up with the Wiimote button. Choose Emulated Wiimote, hit configure, change the Extension to "Classic," and then hit Configure next to that and then setup your controls.
I didnt even know Dolphin could even play aracde games!!. What are Triforce games are there, was F-Zero one?

I think the 360 pad is the best method. You can map multiple things to each button (like down + shake). If you want, you can have blow mapped to a button, roll mapped to one, and pound mapped to another.

What bar is that? Please give a link to amazon page
Thanks for the controller advice, got it set up.
Xenoblade looks great.
Right now I am using Fullscreen resolution: 1920x1080, DX9, and then enhancements using Internal Resolution Auto (Multiple of 640x528). I don't have AA on yet or Anisotropic Filtering.
I'm getting pretty much a solid 30 all around except for some big moments in the intro.
Does AA or AF have any big impacts on Xenoblade? I'd love to continue to make it look better. Any other graphical tweaks in Dolphin settings? I added the high res pack too for the portraits.
Anyhow, let me know!

Wouldn't it be the + button? That's usually Start for Wii control setups, isn't it?
What bar is that? Please give a link to amazon page
Here is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001UAAX60/?tag=neogaf0e-20
USB powered, works fine as far as I could tell. (I've only used it for a few hours so far.) It's pretty expensive for what it is, but I just didn't want to deal with wireless and replacing batteries.
Naturally, make sure you have some powered USB port around wherever you want to put the bar. Luckily, my TV had one, but not all do.
Whoa! I'm a big Mario Kart fan. Did not know this was available for Dolphin. Very Cool.

BBK PMed me the 640x480 shots of Mario Kart AGP2:

And now I have to make a comparison:
The model looks high in polygons, but the kart looks really bad, especially those wheels.
Also the gloss in 7 really shines.
But you gotta love that colorful design in the Arcade shot above!
I remember once upon a time hoping that Arcade would be a representation of the Revolution since the Triforce was a beefed up GC, but we got even better-looking games by a mile! Shame MKWii didn't really receive a nice upgrade from DD. :/

Personally, I'd use a bluetooth adapter from here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_Working_Bluetooth_Devices
Yours may work, but it may not. It's a slight gamble, since it seems the majority work fine with Wiimotes. Unless you found a report that it works with wiimotes somewhere.

I'm pretty sure that the over-simplified graphical style of MKWii was a result of trying to maintain 60 FPS with 12 racers on-screen. Then again, F-Zero GX managed 30.
Tried Xaudio2, same issue. Anyone?????

I'm loving playing through Xenoblade on Dolphin. I already got somewhat far into the game when I played it on my Wii, but I decided to start from the beginning with Dolphin. Here are some random screenshots

Man this thing is amazing. I could barely play Metroid prime on my Gamecube, due to the fact that the graphics were pretty muddy, and I absolutely hate the Gamecube controller. Playing Metroid Prime on Dolphin with super clean graphics, and the Dualshock 3 controller seems almost like a crime. I'm loving this game again. Seriously, Prime looks better than some of the stuff this gen. The game itself is amazing.
How is that even possible?
And dear lord Wind Waker... they really need to make a Zelda game like that again. Screw the people that want "realistic"
Wow. What are your Dolphin settings and system specs?
I love all the different faces Link makes in WW.

I heard that Metroid Prime Trilogy had issues with Dolphin. Are those fixed? How about New Play Control Metroid Prime 1 and 2?
Alright.
Whoever has TWW NEEDS to do the DOF hack. Not only does it get rid of the DOF, but shadows and black bars as well, and provides a major boost in performance.
I have a laptop with Intel HD Graphics 2000 and Intel Core i5, now it runs full speed at 1366x768 resolution. Holy Shit!

Bu- but I like DoF. If it really boost performance, I guess I can take it though. How do?
Cuban Legend

Don't worry about it. The DOF doesn't seem to be in effect in those latest screens, besides, why would you actively WANT to remove shadows?
If your system sucks, like mine. There's barely a difference.

They did.
SS used a modified TP engine, which used a modified WW engine, which was based on a very heavily modified version of the MM/OoT engine.
They didn't use the visual styling.
But aside from a few trees lacking in polygons I think they had something pretty there.

Hrm, I just downloaded this and I'm a bit confused as to how to configure a 360 controller to work as an emulated wiimote. I'm trying Xenoblade to see how it will play.
