Asking because emulating the controller causes lag rather than running the official one. I currently have 2560x1440 output. I wouldve gotten 4K but I am also a big PC gamer and 4K isnt really achieved on mainstream PC games without framerate dips and such even with a GTX 1080 but for Dolphin its sex. Super Sampling 8X does it great for now for me. I never tried Gecko codes as Dolphin runs flawless with my specs any benefits besides 60FPS on Mario sunshine and widescreen? And what benefit does CPU clock override have? Asking because I really just only play games never dipped into those options.
Ohh yeah. XBox One controller above -> GameCube / Wii Remote Controller. I don't care for the potential lag of one or two frames. Besides charging my XBox controller is a lot easier and faster than my Wii Remote, and I could always switch to wired I need to charge it. I always like the fact my XBox One controller has more buttons which are useful for example save states. I like to play a lot of game (especially retro), but I am certainly not a pro. I fact I never noticed any lag with my wireless XBox Controller, that is how much I suck. I do a lot more than only Dolphin on my PC. As I said, I would like to keep everything universal, so my XBox Controller is perfectly for native Windows games. I really hate to switch out hardware on the fly. I do prefer high fidelity above 60 FPS. Unless a game can absolutely maintain 60 FPS at high fidelity I keep my FPS cap 60. For Dolphin however, every game is either capped at 20, 30 of 60 FPS (17, 25 or 50 for PAL).
I do run a lot of N64 games (cus I am that retro). So you probably get why I am into texture packs for them. My most favorite game of all time in the history of all mankind has to be The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, claiming otherwise would just make you look stupid (well... I suppose you have your own right to favorite a different game). Sadly, in the old days quite a few games ran at 20 FPS (but not anymore thanks to darkludx!). Increasing the FPS and Draw Distance actually increases the load on your system to levels an actual Wii could not handle which decreases the FPS all the way back to 10-15, so by using CPU Clock Override Dolphin is allowed to have more processing power than your actual Wii would so I could really get to 30 FPS again. I often leave my CPU Clock Override at 200%. This almost never causes issues, in case they occur you should try to disable it temporary.
If you really want to play Super Mario Sunshine with widescreen and 60 FPS. Go for it! My hardware sucks and even I can maintain solid 60 FPS. Just make sure you do not use D3D12 (which for some fact does not like Super Mario Sunshine). OpenGL would be your best choice. For every game else, D3D12 is solid! Just make sure you have the latest Gecko code for 60 FPS which is region free and not the 60 FPS patch which is outdated.
