Getting back into emulation and had a few Q's

[haddockd]

Hi All!

First off I want to thank the devs and all who support this awesome emulator and project. Kudos!

Long time Dolphin user (think 2.0 days) but my emulation machine died awhile back and I haven't been able to replace it. That is all about to change, so I figured I would get my config all set up so I could start as soon as the parts arrive. Since I have been out of the game for awhile I apologize if these are silly questions.

1) Is LLE still needed for Wind Waker and Twilight Princess? I saw there was some progress on HLE Zelda ucodes but it seemed a little unclear if it was usable or not.

2) There was an AR code for Twilight Princess (GC) that made Hyrule Field faster late game and for the life of me, I can't seem to find it. Probably because I dont know what it is called. Anyone have that code or link to help me out?   I just found it in the Patches section of the latest build. Scratch this one

3) The Mario Party Series (GC) (4, 5, 6 ,7) has fairly old information on the official pages (some as far back as version 3.5). Is there a place with more up to date info on these games?

4) Does the latest build have any issues with the above mentioned games? As of now, they are the only ones I own. The official threads initial page (where the config info is) tends to not be updated regularly so I was wondering if there was anything else I needed to watch out for

I am hoping to get Dolphin installed and config'ed as soon as I get my new machine and hit the ground running with it. Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I think there might be some slight problems with HLE (I know it used to freeze and I think it still does just not as much), but these should be fixed soon because the ucode is being redone.

Thanks ExtremeDude2! I will dump my DSP files and use those for both Zelda games

The reverse-engineered DSP ROM included with Dolphin should be fine for those games, so you won't need a real one of a console if it saves you some time.

HLE no longer causes freezing, but there is some sound level issues.

I know at least Mario party 7 is fine.

Perfect. Thanks KHg8m3r and AnyOldName3!

Running 4.0-4980 here and HLE didn't have any freezing issues with GC Twilight Princess. The only thing I noticed was slightly quieter sound effects.
