Using 6gb of DDR3-1666 (Corsair) memory.

I'm only at 3.0GHz, but I guess I could try cranking it up a bit.

just wondering, but how much CPU does Dolphin use while running Galaxy?

lol exactly the same memory I am using as well (12GB). Yeah you can atleast go to 3.5 with those settings no problems.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

12GB of memory?!?!?!? O_O

 

[riceandbeans]

I found a good deal for a 2.8GHZ AMD Phenom™ II X6. Would that be good enough to run Dolphin full speed with games like Galaxy or is it better just to go with a 3.2GHZ Phenom X4? The clock speed bothers me a bit on the X6 when it comes to emulation for Dolphin and PCSX2.

I am working with rendering. It requires a lot of memory.

 

[TaKeRx]

my specs are a bit less than yours, running the i5 750 at stock speeds with a 5770.

It
runs
just fine ^^

Any settings that you twinkled with?

I've had some pretty good success with Stallion Free's config with most games.

Lots of RAM <3

Every self-respecting geek's wet dream.

Dolphin probably runs faster on my ageing 3GHz dual-core E8400 than on that hexacore processor, unless you crank up the clock speed on it. Dolphin/PCSX2 only use 2 cores anyway.

Yesterday I tried the emulator, pretty impressive.

My specs are a little outdated, I only have 20 fps more or less in NSMB.

Q6600 @ 2.4 Ghz (I didn't try to make OC yet, but I think this type of processor can get 3 ghz easily)
4gb ram
8800 GT Dog tag edition (OC by default)

What can I do with this configuration?

 

[vazel]

NSMB runs fast on my budget e5200 at stock speed. Be sure to set enable efb copy to texture in the gpu plugin.

 

[Durante]

What's up with the hitching? Take F-Zero, for instance. Right from the main menu you get these initial hitches (sound skipping, low framerate, almost like disc access problems) before it smooths out to 60 fps. Any ideas?

Generating and caching shader code and JIT'ed program fragments. Should go away after a few "hitches".

Can I request a screenshot from Galaxy 1 of Buoy Base Galaxy? Can't find a single decent quality image on the web :/

 

[Nabs]

Now that I've finished playing through Galaxy 2 (120 stars), I'll probably go in and take some shots. I'll try to keep the posts spoiler free, so I'll probably just post links w/ world number.

 

[theluma]

^^^^^^^

Thanks a bunch man!

 

[WillyFive]

Those are some great shots.

How well does REmake run? Any issues, like sounds or music dropping? Graphical glitches? Lisa Trevor appearing in every single room?

Seems like a bad candidate due to pre-rendered backgrounds.

I suppose. Still want to have a look at how well the character models look.

 

[Nabs]

I took way too many World 1 screenshots (Galaxy 2). If anyone is interested in a bunch of 'em (48) here's a link: http://www.mediafire.com/?dyzuykjzzlv

A couple of shots:

How well will a core i5 and HD5770 work on Mario galaxy 2?

that's pretty much my setup, here's some gameplay captures i did. pay no attention to the crystal chronicles videos though :lol

 

[Templar Wizard]

Grrrrrrr, i crash on Galaxy2 about 2 seconds into the castle at the start

 

[jamaniek]

DC T4200 2,0GHz, 3GB 1066 DDR3, GF 9600M GS 512MB- Any chances?

 

[nolookjones]

has anyone heard if there will be a sound fix coming for galaxy 1/2? i read something on the official forum that sound dev wasnt being worked on currently...?

Don't bother, unless it's a 2d side-scroller that doesn't need to render a lot even something like muramasa may struggle to achieve full speed

 

[Stallion Free]

Yeah, they are doing a massive overhaul on the DSP-LLE plugin for sound which is much more accurate to the actual Wii. Ideally this will fix the Mario issues and a lot of other sound issues games encounter while also improving performance (the current LLE plugin runs slowly).

 

[GaussTek]

Holy damn!

Galaxy 2 looks so awesome.

That's great news.

I crash when first going to use the Mario face ship (revision 5572) using the SMG1 settings.

Edit: Oookay, tried it again in windowed mode (1360x768) down from my native 1680x1050 and it didn't crash this time, weird. So try again under different conditions Templar, maybe it will work.

Was the crash a "black screen" while the sound continued to work?

If so then it's the same problem SMG1 has. You'll have to play it a low resolutions.

How do I get the wiimore plugin to show using crossover on mac??

Yup, before that it says: "FramebufferManager::Create FAIL: Create Color Texture"

how much SSAA are you using

 

[Jin34]

how much SSAA are you using

None at 1680 x 1050. Yet at 1360 x 768 I can use 2xSSAA w/o any problems or drop in performance. Radeon 4850 with 512MB btw.

 

[jediyoshi]

Didn't realize there were new video options in the new revs. I'm getting Uncharted 2 awesome moments all over the place.

Has anyone actually had the RE: Remake crashing on start up issue and managed to overcome it? I've been searching around for ages trying to find a solution but despite every supposed fix I find, I can't sort the issue, specifically that the emulator output just goes black and gives me an error message after the game shows the "gore" warning.

More from Endless Ocean, please.

The first or the second game? I have some old screenshots up from my first playtrough of the second game back in februari.

I still haven't found the correct settings for the game, it still crashes on boot without using EFB to ram and after taking pictures with the camera ingame. I also have some weird issues when playing the game with a real wiimote, like the quick time events not working correctly. jediyoshi how far are you into the game?

Gamecube or Wii version?

 

[DSN2K]

slightly off topic but going back a gen or 2 I've been playing with OOT again with the upgraded texture packs, very impressive stuff.

 

[John]

Eh, other than the HUD, the original textures look better in HD. Those were blurred just right so that it's like it implies rather than states the environment. That just looks like they're bad textures, compared to games in 2010 anyway.

 

[Fitz]

The Gamecube version.

 

[John]

Anyone have a Muramasa config?

 

[Dynamic3]

slightly off topic but going back a gen or 2 I've been playing with OOT again with the upgraded texture packs, very impressive stuff.

Any chance you would post a tutorial/config on how to do this? Even just getting OoT to run in widescreen aside from the texture pack would be appreciated.

Nah no dice, set my settings to the exact same as linked from that video but still no luck, I've even tried a 4xxx revision that someone had already setup for Remake which they claimed works perfectly but again no luck.
