Afaik, in this game changing this cause coins not to spin.

I see what you mean, but they should at least say that it (durasticially) slows down the game. I'll probably make a wiki account and put a notice saying,"however, this may heavily reduce performance performance of this game."

Actually, I was just going to post another question about Super Mario Galaxy not running at all, but apparently my Wii only ripped 2/3 of the disc (I probably hit the B button T_T). In other words I just need to rip it again.

Umm...partially because it's only a couple months old. I wasn't trying to brag if thats what you mean, I just meant that that wasn't the problem for the slow game.
This slows down pretty much everything, depends on how the game uses it, and it isn't necessarily a slow down, if your computer can handle it it won't decrease fps, and hardware dependand slow downs aren't considered problems/bugs, thus posting this on the wiki isn't needed, at least not in the game settings guide, as this is global for the emulator.
It wouldn't harm tough, just make sure it's clear that the slow down depends on the processing power. A more correct way to say this is that "for this game, this option is very hardware intensive"..

Actually, I was just going to put it on the New Super Mario Bros Wii article, but whatever.
Do you think,"May cause slowdown if without powerful hardware," would work. Just so people don't run into the same problem as I do.
Yeah. Actually a while ago this was on the option's description on Dolphin, the one that appears when you put your mouse over it, I dunno why it was removed. While this is widely known among the forum users, I wouldn't expect the new/standard user to know this, this should be at least on the speed guide... I can still find this by forum search but nobody searches so whatever...

Assuming your talking to me, which version/revision are you running on Mario Bros?
I have both 3.0 and r7719 installed, so i think I should be covered, but I want to be proved wrong. Smile

Right now i don't use dolphin but i played Brawl with dolphin 2.0 and the latest revision too...it just depends of your dolphin configuration

I guess he was talking to Denisek22 and the game works fine on 3.0 no need to look for another revision

In fact i was talking to SwimyGreen

Again,wut.
You could try explaining to him why next time instead of just saying "wut". In short having more than 2 cores is about as useful to dolphin as having more than 6 hands/arms is to you when you're trying to operate 1 mouse. You'll get the same speed on a triple core, quad core, 6 core, 8 core, whatever. Dolphin only uses 2 or 3 depending on your settings (usually 2) so clock rate and IPC per core is more important, the extra cores will just sit there doing nothing.

Yeah, I was already told that, but I had not known at the time. But, yeah "wuT?!" isnt very helpful, more just annoying.

Umm... now what does anybody want to talk about? I'm gonna download GlovePIE when I get the chance, it's basicially the key to motion control gaming for the GC, and the free way to not have to use a keyboard. -_-
Or you could just use a gamepad/controller. Trust me, it's far better. Wiimotes are inferior to gamepads by design. On top of that GC games were designed for gamepads so mapping perfect controls only takes a few seconds. Plus you don't have to spend time writing a glovepie script to map keyboard keys then mapping those keyboard keys to GC buttons in the input settings, which is a pain in the ass.
