Hey everyone,
I just wanted to post some info on how well dolphin plays on the new Macbook Pro with retina display (baseline model 2.3 ghz, 8 gb ram). I am currently running dolphin through boot camp (windows 7 ultimate x64). I have run Paper Mario, Super Mario Sunshine, LOZ: Twilight Princess (gamecube), and LOZ: Wind Waker. All of these games played excellent! I got 100% playablility on every game at 3x IR and 16x AF. I must say they all looked beautiful on the retina display (way better than my crappy old gamecube! I also played Skyward Sword at 2.5x IR and 16x AF and this way also playable at 100%. I took realtemp readings while playing these games and the max (I played for over 3 hours) was 81 degrees. The amazing thing is that it cooled down from 79 degrees when i shut off dolphin to 52 degrees in about a minute (these special fans must actually work). Anyways if you have any questions I will answer them because I was also very curious about how the rMBP was going to perform before I purchased it.
