Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

This is copied from another thread of mine, as I did not see this one.

First off, I love the emulator and think it's amazing. Here's just some things that annoy me.

When you add directories to look for ISOs in, it doesn't search subdirectories. I put all my ISOs in separate folders for various reasons. Could you add a checkmark to do that?

(Alternatively, when you do search for ISOs, it always starts looking in the same place. That's just annoying. Why not start from the last folder it found?)

And, the file information for the games, banner details, should be editable. Either have it edit the file itself (unsure) or create some kind of hidden text file that goes over the existing banner details.

I mean that has nothing to do with any emulation... I just think they're minor things that would make for a better emulator.

i think that's already implemented in one of the svn's

Yeap it is. Go to the Options > Configure > Paths and check Search Subfolders

Now that's what I call instant gratification! Now for the other one.

before everything, thanks dolphin team for doing this amazing dream possible but I have a couple of questions: are dolphin team going to release anymore graphic plugins, for example, will they fix the directx one? and, will the jitIL exe be developed for x64 OS? sorry for my asking if it has been answered before, if so, please post the thread I can find those answers in.

would it ever be possible to force gamecube games to be true widescreen (by increasing the camera's horizontal FOV)? .. that would be a very awesome feature.

I have a few little requests:

1 - When using "Native" resolution and no autoscale/cropping, the size of the output in the window shouldn't scale with the resizing of the window unless the game itself changes sizes of it's screen. Also centered both window and full screen. (1:1 scale - OPTION that is, not manditory. heh )

2 - An option to input your own window size in the window size drop box.

3 - Perhaps a way to get info about what resolution a game uses nativley so to give you an idea of getting the right scaling proportion if you wish to use 2x,3x screen res without loosing aspect.

that's it. Thanks.

Well I found a way but it's cumbersome but not bad. Just dump the textures and load one up and check it's file attributes. I have found 256x240, 320x240, 640x448 and 640x480 (ntsc that is..) SMS uses multiple sizes so prolly many more games will as well.

chankast dreamcast emulator, has an button to overclock the jit, like on wii its 729 but in my case this isnt using all my processor

this could be nice if i could overclock this value like on chankast with the +,- keys of my keyboard.
