You already can.

Hi,

Could it be possible to add in the UI a textfield for fast filtering game list with filter as you type ?
eg typing "pok" will hide all entries except Pokemon ones ?
And btw thx for this great emu!

That's an idea thats being kicked around for the Qt UI

However, the compression ratio will be really bad unless you scrub the disc (Dolphin will do it for you if you use it to convert to GCZ), but CHD has the exact same problem. Only formats specifically designed for Wii discs, such as WIA, can get around that.

I think you're right about the size of MAME's CHDs. Though they have eventually worked out improved storage for some formats, like FLAC compression of CD audio tracks on some ISOs. Some folks would likely still appreciate not needing to maintain multiple disc copies to have compatibility across Mame and Dolphin.

Does MAME support GC/Wii emulation?

GameCube support was recently added. I believe it's still pretty broken, though related ROM inventorying / collection / conversion is apparently well underway (~80Gb of content).

add a preconfigured controller profile for some games like mario or zelda etc. so that users who will play the game for the first time on dolphin will get the idea of a preferred control scheme for the said game..

for example in mario games i use R1 for run, X for jump, square for lifting objects so that users who are playing the game the first time will not rely on the default controls.

Heeeeelllla nope. We are not about to decide what the "preferred" control scheme for a game is! As is evident by just how strange the config you just mentioned is, due to the uniqueness of Nintendo controllers there are a lot of differing ideas of what "preferred" is. If we were to pick a setup and include it with Dolphin, everyone is going to come out and want *their* favorite scheme to be included and preset, and noooope to that mess!

[Helios]

I would block that too.

The only possible "preconfiguration" that makes sense is when you're using a real GC controller + adapter. And that already happens with adapter passthrough.
