Benchmarking Dolphin

[NaturalViolence]

Sorry about the delay everyone. College has been destroying my free time and so I started forgetting about this.

The program we are using is dolphin which you should already have. However you may need to buy the game if we pick one that you don't already have. I'll go ahead and tally up the votes and put up the poll. Since so few people posted games they would like to see used I will have to reduce it to 5 choices....sigh.

Alright I tallied everything up, unfortunately I had to remove a few games since they run to well on most systems. At this point I'm thinking twilight princess is going to be the winner since more people said they have it than any other game, it's also a good choice. Problem with that one is that not only does it have a PAL and ntsc version like every other game but it also has a GC and wii version, which will make things a lot more complicated if it gets picked. Poll is going up soon.

Edit: Poll is up! Check the front page and make sure to vote! Voting will end on Tuesday the 23rd of march.

My suggestions is that all volunteers tell which games they have and then select game that most people have.

i think wind waker should be removed since the game runs too well in my machine ... is not really a problem...

That's exactly what we're doing, I just decided to do a vote on top of that to confirm that that was the choice that the most people wanted.

Quote:I now want everyone from here on out to post not only their cpu models for all the systems they can use but a list of games they can use as well. People who have already posted should post their games as well. After a week or so we should have enough people to get started so I will put up a poll with the 10 most popular games and we will all vote on one.

If we did do what you're suggesting the winner would be twilight princess. So it will be interesting to see the results of the vote to see if they match up.

Well if I did that we would have even less choices. Trust me I already weeded out a lot of games and decided to go with 5 choices instead of 10 for that very reason. Lets just see how this plays out.

I own all the games that are currently up for voting.
