Introduce yourself

Hey there folks. Long-time Nintendo fan and old skool gamer here. Usd Dolphin a few years back on my old crap PC and quickly realised investment was needed to get it up to snuff.

I spend all week managing our IT infrastructure at work so for the most part I'm sick of dealing with hardware and haven't built a custom PC since about 2002! That's the reason I'm kicking it with a late-2015 MacBook, which is awesome, provided I don't want to do anything other than the odd retro game (SNES era). Mega low-spec but perfect for dossing about online.

The time has come however to build a decent-ish PC so I can do some GC emulation and can leave the GC all boxed up in the loft. I'm currently hoovering up every bit of information I can on modern consumer CPUs, motherboards and GFX cards. The last GFX card I bought was a 3DFX Voodoo 3, which just goes to show how long ago that was. I actually preferred 2 x Voodoo 2 running SLI...

I've got a lovely Dell P2715q 4K monitor sat basically doing nothing so I'll be using that as my starting point and will be looking for mobo/CPU/GPU combos that will be great for GC games at high resolutions but also nice and quick for the odd PC game at 1440p/4K. I figured a GTX 1060 6G will take care of the PC gaming pixel-shifting but I'm just researching the frankly ridiculous number of new CPUs from Intel and whether to go for a Kaby Lake i3 with high clock speed and overclocking capabilities with only dual-core (for Dolphin-first use) or Kaby Lake i5 with lower clock speed but 4 cores (for PC-first use). It's all fun and games and there seems to be a lot of conflict over whether the i3 is any better than the i5 when it comes to GC emulation, given that single-core clock speed seems to be the preference for emulation.

Anyhow, I'm off to do more reading!

Oh! I didn't see this thread before! I suppose I'll drop a post here too. :0

I'm AbbyStabby, a professional digital artist and animator. If you wanna look at my garbage you can find me on Tumblr, dA, and FA.

I've been playing games since I was a wee bab. The Sega Genesis, N64, Gamecube, 3DS, and PS2 are my favorite consoles. My list of favorite games very long and fairly questionable.

It goes without saying that I REALLY love the Dolphin. It's been helping me so much in my conquest in learning 3 dimensional drawing and allows me to have endless references for a comic I'm working on. Without the Dolphin I don't know what I'd do. So huge shout out for the team that's made everything possible!! You guys are phenomenal!!

I can't say I know how active I'm going to be on here. It's been quite awhile since I've been on a forum. But I think as long as I'm fiddling with the Dolphin, I'll be taking peeks on here to see what's new and post around. Maybe make friends? Only time will tell!

[color=#000080]Well, I guess it's my turn now...

Greetings everyone. I shall be known by the name of "Der Siebte Schatten", which means "The Seventh Shadow" in German. I'm however not from Germany (just that I particularly like this language... yeah some already told me that I was weird), but from "somewhere" in France (I have to move regularly for professional reasons)...
23 as of today, I'm fond of old technologies (from the 80s/90s especially), coding and gaming on Nintendo consoles exclusively (starting from Nintendo GameCube). So Dolphin is a benediction for me!

Otherwise, my personal "Triforce" is: Zelda, RPGs, Metal...

The rest is... none of your business...

May I see you another time...

Grüße,
Der Siebte Schatten[/color]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here but I've been enjoying (in secret) the Dolphin emulator for some time now.

I felt like I needed to dig deeper so here I am with you now. Big Grin

Other than that, I guess it's obvious that I'm into retro-gaming, personally it's because I grew up with it before it became retro and can't forget it.
I don't really what else to say, so I'll keep my ink for other topics where I can hopefully happen to be useful!

Hey guys I'm new here and I want to start an online dolphin community game wise and have started a discord here https://discord.gg/znKBJVJ. I can not wait to see you in game!

This hasn't really been posted in for a while. I guess I'll fix that.

Heya everyone, I'm Cammie. I've been a Nintendo Fan since I was four. I heard about Dolphin back when 1.0 was released, as my dad was a big Nintendo fan at the time as well. I then lost touch with the emulator for a long time before finally coming back a year ago. I hope to enjoy talking with you guys and maybe making some friends. Thank you.

This thread kinda looks dead but I'll post anyway out of courtesy. My name is Jay and I play Nintendo games (and a few Sega). First console I ever owned was a Nintendo 64 but my favorite was the Gamecube. Favorite game to play is Super smash bros melee so if you ever want to play just PM I'll reply.

Hey everybody,
I'm Cyiatic and I've always been a huge fan of video games and for emulation the dolphin emulator.
I've had a lot of experience with computers and one of my favorite things is overclocking and testing performance in game, and using Dolphin as a benchmark.

See you around the forum!

EnchantedGladius · 03-08-2019, 10:17 AM **#529**

Hello! As you may have guessed by my username, I'm a die-hard fan of Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. I love Dolphin, its power and compatibility!

Good evening,

I don't spend a large quantity of my time playing video game like I used to. I do happen to play a small proportion of games from time to time. The first console I own was an Nintendo 64. I believe the first game I played was Star Wars Episode I - Racer. It was a Si-Fi racing podracing game where the goal is to race against other opponents and obtain at least a 4th or a 1st to win the game.

As I gotten old, I started to simply move away from playing video game and decided I want to take care of my own personal stuff. For my spare time, I usually do writing, practice martial arts, hit the gym and fire a few round at a shooting range.

The first weapon I fired; for thous wondering, is the Remington Model-11. It is a Semi-Automatic shotgun that can load up to 4 to 2 round, plus one additional round by interning it into the chamber. The Model-11 was based off the world first Semi-Automatic shotgun, Browning Auto-5. In interesting characteristic about the Auto-5 is that the Royal Flying Corps and Belgian Army used it in notable numbers in World War I. Source suggest that some officers and specialized British Army did bring the Auto-5 to the frontline, though it was never officially adopted.

Anyways, I spend my spare time doing most of the writing for short story quite some time. While I don't want to reveal to much details on the story. One day, I might showcase my work. Thought, it would probably be best if I take this activity elsewhere.

At the time of this writing. I currently play Insurgency:Sandstorm, Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, and Hitman 2. All the three games I play are on the PC.

I don't expect to hang around the forum that much. I'll tag along from time to time. Maybe showcase my report on a couple GC/Wii games on the performance and the such.
