I did , and look forward to reading more

Hey, great articles delroth. I'm going to copy and paste all three of them somewhere where I can look at them all together. Can't wait to see what changes you bring to the Zelda ucode. SMG games no longer needing LLE? Good work so far, the community appreciates it.

So when AX HLE is near perfect, the WiiMote speaker won't be outputting sound at ~50% speed as it is on DSP LLE?

Nope, it will output the same thing LLE outputs.

Okey, thanks for the clarification

How different would you say the performance is compared to the current HLE?

Performance should be a bit slower because the new HLE emulates a lot more stuff. However, if you have more than 2 cores in your computer it shouldn't matter (because it's running on a separate core), and it's still very fast.

Is there an option to get it to run on a third core? Or does it automatically do it for you?

I think what he wrote implies it is done automatically.

Nice to see some progress here. But if the new HLE requires the game to run at 100% speed all the time, we loose the biggest benefit of HLE over LLE. On my system, not a single game runs at 100% speed all the time and if there weren't these stupid bugs, I would be perfectly happy with the current HLE since I can play almost all games at nearly full speed with crackling-free audio. Hopefully machines that currently have to use HLE because LLE runs to slow will still be able to play crackling-free audio in the future. Otherwise the old HLE audio should be kept as an option.
