Yeah, its all about the graphics for most dolphin games, we're in the age of 1080p+ gaming, 480p just wont do it anymore for most people

* People who would like to play old GC games in wide screen (16:9) without pillarboxing (vertical borders) or ugly stretching

* People who would like to use a traditional gamepad in old-school 2.5D platform games and press a button to do an action instead of being forced to shake the controller all the time (and get tired easily). Or use a more accurate pointing device (a mouse) in First-Person or sim games.

* People who "can't live" without savestates

* People who want portability (play their games on a high-end laptop)

* People with high-res displays who'd like to experience the games in beyond HD (1536p, 1600p, 2160p) with crisp textures, no aliasing and see every little detail far away in the distance. With better-than-WiiU image quality.

* People who would like to enhance their games by using texture packs, improved pixel lighting and custom shaders.

Buy a wii, and mod it, then make backups of all the games you already own and play them via disc or USB. Easy!

I know its an old thread, but just wanted to let everyone know.

Me making computer to run a fucking slow ass wii-game, but the emulator is so shitty that you need a damn super computer.
Price: At the bare minimum with shitty FPS
400$

Me buying a wii, controllers, modding it, and getting 1000s of games ready to play on it. (What I did)
50$

Price for 480p component cables (no up-scaling)
15$

Who in there right minds would build a super computer to play a real low-end game? Make the emulator faster OR JUST BUY A WII!

Sure every now and again there are some jagged lines, BUT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD! The games are fucking amazing, and it shouldn't have to be about graphics, EVER. Think about 8-bit, Mario was STILL fun!

And it didnt occur to you that people buy good pc so they can play pc games ?
Why would anyone spent EXTRA $50 to play games with shitty graphic when you can play them FOR FREE and with better graphics with dolphin,because you already have good pc for pc games !

Add some more:
-People who use stereoscopic 3D
-People who like to have one machine for everything instead of lots of different consoles

People who haven't played a game on a Wii for nearly 2-3 years, yet actually wouldn't mind the opportunity to play them, just as long as they don't have to find missing Wii necessities.
