New features for Dolphin

[OnFyar]

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum. My native language is not english (sorry for any mistakes).

In my opinion dolphin is the best emulator ever, not because of the games it allows us to play on other platforms but because of the amount of features it offers and developers aim for accuracy.
However there is always room for emprovement and i though this features could really make a better user experience:


- Virtual Buttons on the pc version (great for windows 8 tablets) with options to resize/change button color and transparency (similar to the android version).
Android tablets still strugle to play games at full speed however windows 8 tablets already have the necessary power.

- Emulator interface working without needing Mouse+Keyboard (Controller only). Sometimes i just want to sit on the couch and play with a controller but everytime i want to change game or settings i need to use M&Kb. With steamOS and living room PC's becoming more popular this would be a great feature.

- Option to enable 60/120/144fps (When available) without needing to insert cheat code (Noob friendly)

- Option to assign more than 1 button (2 or 3 would be great) to an action (Example: Use both Spacebar and Enter as the "A" button), i tried doing this and couldnt.


Thank you Dolphin developers for all the work put into this awesome emulator!

The 60/120/144 FPS feature would be awesome but from how I understand it this is not possible. You need to do this for every single game, so there cannot be one simple setting for all.

Unless you are developer and you are asking for help in implementing those features, then you are in the right place.

Ah this one is very possible, You need to go deeper into the controller options though, into advanced and start setting things up in there, for example I have the Select button on PS3 control to emulate both Start and A at the same time, I use it for the codec in MGS and it works perfectly.

If you're still stuck I'll search through my old posts for the explanation on exactly how to do it.

Hey OnFyar, welcome to the Dolphin community.

As mimimi pointed out, we already have an existing thread for features to add in Dolphin. Please post in the link mimimi provided. We would like to keep things in one place, so this thread will be closed.

We still appreciate your ideas for Dolpiin, so don't be afraid to share them here: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-feature-request-thread
