Feature Request Thread

Our current Direct3D 11 offer limited support to Windows 7 due to missing OS features. About DX12, I wouldn't expect any further work to bring new features to an obsolete OS. In fact, the sole reason Dolphin still works with Windows 7 is that the current toolset, libraries and compilers we use still provides support for it. The moment Windows 7 becomes a blocker (e.g. not being able to update a external library or use a new compiler feature because of it), support for it will certainly be dropped altogether, without hesitation...

So... I managed to tidy up my attachments. Compare https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/attachment.php?aid=19133 with https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/attachment.php?aid=19134. 19134 is Dolphin's SSAA and 19133 is my makeshift attempt. As you can see, Dolphin's SSAA is all blurry and introduces glitches aroung the minimap.

That would be awesome. Please, look at my screenshot. I hope you'll understand what I meant. ?

I'm curious as to what your "intention" is though...

When using higher resolutions, Dolphin has to downsample at specific instances to a resolution GC/Wii natively supports. It uses linear downsampling but this only works for a 2x increase in resolution. We need something else for higher resolutions.

I want to thank you and other contributors. I've been asking a lot of questions about things I don't understand, here and on IRC, and everybody have been very generous! I know this is hard work and you are all doing great! I need to remember that what I'm suggesting is definitely an enhancement, and I think accuracy and efficiency are probably more important than my suggestion here.

Good night! (or whatever time it is where you live. ?)

It would be nice if there was an auto selector for the controllers. Say for example if I connected my Xbox One controller, it would automatically select it (With the profile) from the other current device (Keyboard etc) without going to the Controllers section to manually change it. How it works (I would assume) is by using the last button pressed method, so I could quickly switch to my keyboard from my Xbox One controller without going to the controller section to change it.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, if it's not, I'll start a new thread.

So here's the thing. Recently, I have been trying to read the log file, to try and fix a problem (https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-bionicle-heroes-gamecube-crashes-in-the-middle-of-a-level?pid=511930#pid511930), but I have no idea how. Would it be possible to include a "translator" for the log, to tell me what error is going on? For instance, Citra has a bot on Discord called CitraBot, which can "decipher" the log file when uploaded.

If I'm doing anything wrong, please tell me.

Some sort of built in homebrew browser? Sort of like the wii shop channel, but for homebrew.

There are already homebrew apps that do this, I'm not sure if they work in dolphin or not however.

Edit: It looks like there is also desktop applications that do the same thing.

Could the ability to display if toggles are active be added. I have a profile for Skyward Sword that uses toggles and I think it would be useful.
