There is no other explanation. @Xtreme Don't know. None of us can sit at your computer and fix it so you'll have to figure it out on your own.

Well nothing is wrong with my computer so it must be something on their website. I can load all other sites just fine without issues.

Lemme guess bs from misinformed commentators about emulation being illegal and promoting piracy?A few comments for those who can't read them: "Smash Bros. Brawl seems to still randomly drop like 3% from 100% all the time, so it feels really stutter-y." "i may try it but it also seems like it would be just as easy to walk into any pawnshop and buy a Wii and probably a few games for like 50 bucks." "This could mention and clarify why we don't see for example a PS3 emulator. " "Very nice article ! Good job !" "Awesome, does she have a PayPal account? I want to make a small donation. Also, would be awesome if such talented people were helping with PCSX2, RPCS3 and Xenia." Fiora's answer: "I'd prefer if people donated to the Dolphin project directly -- it probably makes a bit more sense! I'm not exactly lacking for money at the moment, so I figure it's a bit more polite to redirect the donations to others ^^" "She discovered [NO$GBA] as a 10-year-old." .... "Fourteen years later, it’s her day job." NO$GBA was initially released in 2002 according to wiki... so it's 2016? TWE-TWE-TWENTY SIXTEEN!" "Maybe she is from the future?" "Was playing Eternal Darkness on this about a month before I got my new system (The old one was using an r7 240) and it ran it just fine. Same with Twin Snakes (Aside from a few tiny audio issues)" "Female excellence at work." "While it's not just because she's female, I do believe that women have a different way of looking at these problems. And as we see here, introduced some impressive changes." "Why should we care? The webpage is called PC GAMER...not CRAPPY OLD CONSOLE GAMER. #fail" - Joe Cool "This started as an article about an emulator and it turned into more "yay women" gender didn't matter until feminazis felt the obligation to let people know that you don't have a penis because apparently equality is wrong" "And this is why you should never buy your child a console." "Fiora, I do not know you but I love you. " "We are two now. We lov you Fiora ;P" "But the question is..... can it run pikmin" "So PP to x86 instructions is not a solved problem? No one in the history of programming has already mapped out the conversions? And I don't get the need for this interpreter step. There is a limited number of well documented instructions, there is no special cases you might of missed, from my understanding." Fiora's answer: "Most JIT recompilers get written on top of an interpreter, since the interpreter's way easier to write (and works on any platform) -- the AARCH64 JIT in Dolphin (for example) has only a few instructions implemented so far, since it was just started. In terms of known conversions between PPC and x86, are there any other major recompilers out there besides qemu? I'd actually love to look at them <_<; tootally not looking to steal any nice ideas, not at all ~ (I have glanced a little at qemu, but it seems like it doesn't have that many x86-specific optimizations, since it's a generic Anything To Anything recompiler.) There's also instructions that you pretty much can't actually implement inside the JIT. One example is "icbi"; this invalidates a block of instruction cache, so we have to run some logic to figure out which blocks of JIT code need to be invalidated, which blocks need to be unlinked from each other, and so on. Or exception handling instructions, or things that access hardware, and so on." "I'm a software engineer and literally sat in on a tech talk earlier this week about low level, JIT compiler optimization. Great coincidence! This is fascinating stuff, makes me want to try and contribute to one of these emulators sometime." "Where can you get a ROM for super Mario galaxy?"< "This is great n all but I can't help but feel like you're purposefully writing this article because it was an achievement of a woman, very well done though." " It also includes contributions by magumagu and comex. From my perspective, magumagu's contribution is THE most important of them all - it made replays in F-Zero GX, for example, work the same way on both console and emulator for the first time! It doesn't matter how fast your emulator runs if it's not correct! " - Patashu Fiora's answer: " Yeah, the floating point work he did is absolutely incredible: imagine how hard it is to figure out the inner workings of a floating-point arithmetic unit through nothing but testing and seeing what it does!He also did some stuff not mentioned here (but in some of the progress reports); he reverse-engineered the hardware algorithms for Approximate Reciprocal Square Root and Approximate Reciprocal (the instructions frsqrte and fres) and wrote software implementations so that the Dolphin versions would match the hardware exactly. The multiply rounding change was just the last thing necessary; everything else was important for console-accurate physics too. The other changes were just some time ago (a few months, I think).I ended up doing the multiply thing because magumagu pretty much disappeared a few months ago after finishing up his software-fp branch; I'm not sure if he just lost interest or ended up busy with other things." 10-11-2014, 10:13 AM
^ Thanks. Not sure what's going on but some of these tech/gaming sites have trouble loading comments in Chrome. Must be some incompatibility but I don't have another browser to read the very miniscule amount of sites broken in chrome. Tried disabling adblock and extensions so I suppose it's just an issue with the site and Chrome, some script not loading or getting broken somehow.

It might be an issue with Disqus; I've found it to be *incredibly* finicky.

Just head-shake worthyness, I dare say. I've actually only recently been able to look over the obnoxious children spewing the garbage on the internet without getting hot headed. That being said, I've never 'stooped down' to getting involved though- but I'll take an opportunity to brew gossip afterwards while with a group of familiars.. mm.. I guess that's pretty childish on its own at times, my apologies. But even otherwise, I wouldn't let it bother me aside from when the term is used in the context of console emulator talk. ... I mean, really, folks :b Whatever. Ignorance is pretty rampant in the web, as the common knowledge would tell.

For example, they did a couple of novelty playthroughs of Skyrim, and did a series about how different and amazing it was if you filled up your load order with random mods without reading the description, and they've reviewed quite a few mods too. Although I only know of them doing this for one game, I don't read that much of their stuff, so they could do this much with basically everything. Anyway, this kind of review definitely shows they're about having fun with games, rather than just looking for aliased pixels. Absolutely! Like you say, it's not always "120% better than the last or bust" with them. I feel like they're actually mature in a manner of just being happy... And with not only games, but hardware too. Does me good to read. Not only that, but I feel that they're some of the last videogame-oriented journalists that exercise a professional workflow in their environment. 10-11-2014, 08:00 PM
I guess i've been away for a long time, never heard of Fiora before reading the article, thanks for all the great work.

She's only got around 25 posts on the forums, so you won't have seen her here that much. It's in the Progress Reports that her name pops up often.
OS: Windows 10 64 bit Professional
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900X RAM: 48GB GPU: Radeon 7800 XT 10-11-2014, 08:18 PM
...or rather, because she's barely here for 2 months (even less on the forums). You can find her on IRC tho, where most of the devs lurk.
