Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Is it possible to make a manual on how to make a Dolphin machine? Also is it possible to make a dolphin machine in the shape of a console?

This might already be possible, but I don't think it is. If you set your dead zone to 0 there's still a dead zone, this is terrible for using a mouse instead of an analogue stick. So it would be great if you could make 0 really mean there's no dead zone at all or simply add an option to remove the dead zone period.

I think you meant to post that in this thread: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-de...ogue-stick

Yes and yes. But only if someone were willing to put the work in.

Some people have already built dolphin rigs inside old console cases (like the NES) here on the forums. You can find these threads with the forum search function.

Is it also possible to make a dolphin machine in the form of a console?

If you find/make a good enough case

Building a console-like PC isn't that hard; it all comes down to the a balance between case size, performance, and cooling. Making said machine behave like a console is an entirely different story however.

Look into Mini PCs (NUC, Gigabyte Brix, Zotac ZBoxes). I got one for the "console" like form factor (but for playing other emus, not Dolphin). With last month's crazy speed ups, the hardware threshold for adequately playing Dolphin have lowered, so even Mini PCs that once were unacceptable for Dolphin have a chance.

The Gigabyte Brix with the i5-4570R has been good in Dolphin for a while due to the high-ish clock speeds of 3.2 Ghz

It runs at 2.7ghz.

My bad, it has a max Turbo speed of 3.2 Ghz
