If you do that you have near perfect emulation.
Lol.
If you want to keep using buggy versions, have fun. Stop posting here though, we don't want your useless, non constructive noise.
Will do captain, hell at least it's playable unlike with the mess that is 4.0 where to get rid of the black bar bug you have to disable dual core (slowdown), or enable synchronize gpu thread, except you'll have to get the bios from your original gamecube first because if you skip the bios it wont work. Oh, by the way, this also ends up in a slowdown as well, so it's redundant lol
You have fun "fixing" stuff that never happened years ago because you're too stubborn to accept when you make a mistake. Hard to be constructive when you want everyone to believe that newer versions are somehow better even when they're blatantly not, and when someone points out older versions worked better you shove them off as "it's your hardware, not our software" or "you're not being constructive (as in praising me for everything I do), get out of my face".
Arrogance is one hell of a drug.

They would rather figure out how to properly emulate the GC (not without some trial and error) instead of relying on hacks and buggy, incomplete implementations of features.
It sure doesn't help that every time I load up dolphin 4.0 is to test how badly a game runs, and then rolling back to older revisions for better performance.
This trend continues as I try new games, Metroid Prime for example, metroid prime 2 is the most recent, super smash bros brawl as well (seems I'm not alone), soul calibur 2, F Zero GX, etc.
I'm sure this is just bad luck on my part, and it just so happens that every game I test runs worse on newer revisions. I'm sure there is a plethora of games that run much better than they used to and I'm sure compatibility has sky-rocketed thanks to the wonders of accuracy, I'm sure this is just some sick statistical joke dolphin decided to play on me where it so APPEARS that every game runs worse, but that's just the select few that I happened to test, as in just plain old back luck.
Nah, I'm sure that "with the right hardware" all these games would play perfectly, it's my machine.
How do you plan to go forward with these excuses? Aiming for accuracy is one thing but don't be so stubborn as to not being able to accept that might not be the best choice.
