Trailer: https://youtu.be/tch32Dlehqo
In December, ZELDA TWILIGHT PRINCESS was launched in TEGRA X1 for SHIELD TV and now SUPER MARIO GALAXY arrives, each game the most demanding in each platform and to close with a flourish they do it at 1080P
It's time to ask: What do the developers of DOLPHIN do day by day?
With so many DAILY updates and so many years and having NVIDIA TEGRA X1 since 2015 I think they had to advance as they should, today with all those useless updates have only DAMAGED the compatibility with many games, games that previously served very well now just NO DO THEY WORK:
* Project Zero 4 (Wii)
* Eternal Darkness (GCN)
* 1080 ° Snowboarding White Storm (GCN)
* Super Monkey Ball (GCN)
* Resident Evil Remake (GCN)
* Star Fox Adventures (GCN)
What do you really think who would win?
The developer of the hardware (nVidia) and the developer of the original game and hardware (Nintendo) working together to work around all problems in drivers. nVidia knows how to work around all the quirks in their drivers (and for Dolphin the Shield TV devices are recommended anyway) and the developer of the game and hardware (they probably still have the source code lying around and they know exactly what a Wii and GC can do) making a native (it is not emulated) version of the game run on a single device.
VS
We had no clue but we learned everything from scratch and made almost every game made for Wii and GC run on almost every platform but we refuse to workaround the Android problems because the drivers are really really bad and they should be fixed by the manufacturers of said SoC's first.
Same as:
I am a car manufacturer (Nintendo), I designed everything and send it to a factory (nVidia) to have it assembled, here are the blueprints.
VS
I have a bunch of parts which I know make a car, but I do not have any manuals or blueprints on how to build it. I start building it and it looks and runs like a car but the windscreen wipers aren't working, so I have to find out what is causing it not to work, while I poke around I find 10 other things that I think could work better and fix those, I also add some extra features like seat heating and a wing... So I have a car, it works and looks like a car, it does even more than the car it was based on but every now and then for whatever reason I can not drive 60MPH on the freeway... So I have to go and fix that, so now I can drive on the freeway with 60MPH but in the cities it takes 15 seconds to go from 0-15mph... So that needs to be fixed, I fixed that and now my rear lights don't work anymore.... and so on...
