Could we get an update to the OP to reflect the new current best default settings? The settings have changed a lot since the thread was created.
Also, best settings for Xenoblade?
And what's better looking, and what's more taxing? A higher internal resolution or AA?

My shitty PC was not able to run Dolphin well at all, but I have since picked up the high end 21" 2011 iMac (Sandy Bridge i5).
Anyone running the Mac version of Dolphin? What sort of performance should I be expecting to get?

Not if you use LLE Audio plug-in.
Has any of you had luck to run Beach Spikers?
Does Lost Kingdoms 2 floor graphical glitches have a work around?
Also any pics of both games in high res would be nice ( My PC can run them on normal resolution with framerate hiccups since its a very old one and I'm broke at the moment to get a newer one)

there's a xenoblade thread in the official dolphins forums where people are posting impressions. most seem to need at least 3.5ghz to get full speed, but still experiencing crashing/sound bugs/dips once in a while, though it seems to be quite different for many people. i'd check out that thread.

Here's it running on my i5 750 @ 2.67GHz (stock). Full speed, the game was playing at 720p but Fraps and my hard drive don't like each other so I had to go half size on the recording itself.

For those wanting to get over the 25fps limitation of xenoblade in Dolphin, try this out and see if it helps:
"To run the game in 30fps, under framelimit select 60 and untick "Limit by FPS". Then under DSP settings, untick "Enable Audio Throttle" choose "DSP HLE Emulation" to keep the music and sound in sync and prevent any cracking sounds."

Uhh, that would just increase the speed of the game by 20%. One of my PAL games (A Shadow's Tale) used to be stuck at 25 fps but I got it to run at 30 by enabling progressive scan in the configure menu, maybe you could try that for Xenoblade.georaldc said:

The Macbook pros 2011 with intel are ok. You can't run it full blast, but it works nicely.

Now that you mention that, I tried enabling progressive scan and well, it was still stuck at 25fps. Yeah it may just increase the speed but at least it isn't as choppy as before anymorenincompoop said:

If anyone figures out the ideal settings for Xenoblade, please post your findings here. Won't come out for another couple of weeks here but I'm hoping it plays alright on Dolphin. Any impressions?

Plays perfectly for me, it only runs at 50hz though so 25fps but you can unlock the FPS and play it at either 120% or 110% speed (Without Audio being affected). I've played 10hours so far and only had two cutscenes that had issues with audio (Voices sounded weird) and no crashes at all. The 50hz problem I believe is Dolphin issue so that should be eventually sorted in a future revision.
I'm using the following settings
Code:
HLE sound plugin Xaudio2 options enabled :
- HLE Audio
- DTK Music
- Audio Throttle
- 48,000 Hz
Direct3D11 plugin options enabled :
- Load Native Mipmaps
- EFB Scaled Copy
- Copy EFB (texture)
- Accurate Texture Cache (Fast)And my specs are
Code:
i5 750 @3.6GHZ
ASRock P55 Extreme
Ati 4890 (At stock speeds)Running it at 1080p on my 40" TV and it looks incredible.
Anyone using a 360 Pad with it (Like me) should use this texture pack
It replaces the Classic Controller Button Images with the correct 360 version.
You need about 3.2ghz at least to not have any Audio issues it seems. Any lower and you'll get noise and other glitches whenever the fps drop.

Graphic wise, the game runs wonderfully for me. Minor sound issues but the big deal for me is that every 15 minutes, dolphin crashes. "Dolphin.exe has to shut down" blah blah blah. I will try a different build/configuration and see if that gets fixed.

From the Xenoblade thread on the Dolphin Forums different revisions don't seem to matter. If it crashes for you it will likely crash on them all.

Ok, so I just started messing with Dolphin and I'm confused by something:
If I want to use the Xbox controller (usb) to emulate a Classic Controller plugged into a wiimote, is that even possible or should I just configure my emulated wiimote by mapping the Xbox buttons?

Under the Wiimote configuration menu, click configure next to "Wiimote 1 - Emulated Wiimote". Make sure that your controller is selected from the "Device" drop down menu at the top before starting.
Towards the right side, kind of towards the bottom there's a box that says "Extension". Click "Classic" from the drop down menu, then click "Configure" underneath that. Set up your 360 controller now as if it were a Classic Pro from that new menu. Enjoy!

My computer is loling at everything I toss at it. Playing Crysis 2 and emulating Smash perfectly!
I did have an issue with Tatsunoko vs Capcom, after each character does a hyper combo, it lags while the animation is comming out. Only for a few seconds. then it stops and it plays normal. But its annoying.

Hey GAF, I've just downloaded Dolphin and want to get 'in' to it.
Are the Wind Waker settings in the second post still good to use? I plan on playing about with the emulator later today so really I'm just wondering if they're still ok? I read above that Dolphin's setting have changed a tad since the OP was made so I was wondering if the settings are out of date or not? Many thanks.

Out of curiosity and totally hypothetically & ethically speaking.
What are your/gafs views on :
- Buying a gc/wii title -> ripping it yourself -> ...
- Buying a gc/wii title -> downloading the "rip" from some torrentsite ->...
?
( I sold off my gc and wii some time ago and I have not ventured in dolphin territory so I have no personal opinion as of yet )

-The end result should be the same(barring you don't get a virus from torrents), you own the game but you have a digital version of it's Disc files to use with Emulation.Corky said:
-Not many people have the DVD Drives that can read and correctly RIP the games anyway...
-Just don't talk about what/when/where of Downloading, it can be a grey area in that regard and will probably be frowned upon.
-Basically, No one will crucify you if you bought a game and downloaded it instead of ripping it.

From a ethical point it may not matter, but it can be illegal and it is bannable to admit to downloading games on GAF.Corky said:

(Though I don't know if things change when you say you no longer own a Wii or GCN, since you need a Wii to rip Wii games & may need some inner console files in some cases to get Emulation working)
But yea that's all ethically speaking.
Real Talk though: admitting to downloading games on GAF can/will lead to a ban.
Cuban Legend said:
Yeah I remember reading that, something about bios or w/e, again I'm just looking at this at a cursory glance not really sure if I want to jump in since it will invariably cost me quite some cash. And yeah I'm well aware of the whole pirating games = ban on gaf, I have strong opinions against piracy.
On another note, technically speaking, what happens when you run an emulated wii/gc that was specifically designed to run at 30fps, at 60fps? Will things glitch out? Will the game play like it's fastforwarding? Will nothing happen at all? Or will it simply be like pc and the game feels much smoother?

You mean 7z? You are using 7zip to extract them right? Edit: Winrar can do 7zip files now? Well, that's odd then.
chaosblade said:
Yeah, everything on the Dolphin page is downloading as a corrupt archive. That's the error I'm getting when trying to use 7zip or WinRAR.
Here: http://dolphin-emulator.com/download.html
Edit-
All downloads are now failing from the site. "Source files cannot be read or are corrupt"
I'll try again later or try and find them from a different download source.
Thanks for the help guys.
