Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

There's something borin' me.

It's about the slowdowns in so many games!Since the first release of Dolphin,it is soooo slow!Why?The CPU.

But...Wait...What's that?It's a emulator in the same case of Dolphin...But it already passed this problem.Why?SPEED HACKS.

PS2 has a code that's too hard to emulate,all right?And needs a hard CPU to do this with all speed,like Dolphin.

But...Why don't we take a look to a little window of Pcsx2 0.9.6,a PlayStation 2 emulator?



I don't know what these progamming words are meaning,but most of people here know it!

I'm right now playing Rockband at full speed,with a speed hack listed above.Oh,man!IT'S FULL SPEED!It can reduce the compatibility,but,it's better than waiting the emulator making the movements,and THIS IS BORING! So,why don't we make a REVOLUTION and make Dolphin do "A smaller foot to the slowdownman,and a big jump to the emulatiny"?

Let's start this type of speed hacks on Dolphin!If Pcsx2 can do it,YES,WE CAN!!!Do you like slowdowns?NO,WE DON'T!!!Do you have time and patience for waiting?NO,WE DON'T HAVE!!!!

YES, WE CAN!!!!!!!!!

Well i support you and the development team you obviously got behind you. Yes, you can! Just do it !

Link_to_the_past,I'm not a programmer.But most of people here are.I'm taking a idea for them.If they accept...NO MORE SLOWDOWNS!!!

Yeah,the developers are another problem,but they are the only that can make the magic happen!!!

They can start a blablabla: "It's impossible to make this.Thead closed.(Soooo boring.)"

Or they can support me: "Yeah!Let's start programming!"

If they support me,I maked the idea.Who wants to support me,support me.Who don't want,can leave now.

HEY,DOLPHIN TEAM!LET'S START A NEW AGE!LITTLE CHANGES WILL NOT AFFECT THE SLOWDOWNS!

Well, you did make cottonvibes to join the dolphin forums just to answer this, so who knows, maybe some dolphin developer will answer your plight .

How do you know this is in any way useful for Dolphin if you don't know anything about it o_o

I'm not working on CPU stuff, but this most likely isn't usuable in Dolphin at all, since we're running always as fast as possible anyway...

If you even had a little clue of the differences between the PS2's architecture and the Wii's architecture, you'd knew that your suggestion doesn't make any sense at all ;P

his speech was just so empowering and convincing!

Hai cotton.

Dolphin already has speedhacks, it's called EFB to Texture, Enable Block Merging, Idle Skipping etc.. As for hacks like PCSX2, not the same thing considering the PS2 hardware is different which likely makes some of those hacks possible.

With optimization and regression fixing, Dolphin might be just as fast or faster someday. Marco's currently working on a fifo rewrite that may benefit performance, compatibility and stability. There is some regressions that need to be fixed, namely JIT regressions that cause crashing in some games, speed regressions that caused some games to lose 5 FPS - 10 FPS since the late 5xxx revisions and other issues.

hey NeoBrain just made a rev that he says will speed up some 20% and he said it was for you lol

huh, someone spawned cottonvibes :o .........well, now that you're here, could you fix Dolphin plezkthxbai! ^^
