My HD2400 PRO AGP card is doing just fine. Fall back to R3785 and post back.

oh i know it doesn't use all CPU power
i asked the same thing too and i got this
gc and wii are consoles too hard for emu, specially when they are 2
a 3.2ghz cpu should run fullspeed in dolphin unless it is a pentium d or something
bullcrap
if i overclock my P4 to 3.2ghz it wont go fullspeed
Wii emu only supports 1 wiimote (emulated or real)????
Is this true??
Yes, at the moment, but up to 4 gamecube controllers
I think the word "official" should be removed if its your review...
Why is visual boy 4.0? its a perfect emulator.
official?
from Nintendo?
from emu dev team?
from Forum admin?

Maybe whoever told you that has a shit-tastic GPU like me. Even though people say Dolphin is not a GPU intensive application, it still requires a recent mid-range GPU (like a Radeon HD 4650/70 or 4770) or a high-end GPU (like a 3850/70 or 4850/70/90).

Anyways, you (and everyone else) should probably wait for an official release of Dolphin (which should be coming soon) before doing a review (like KHRZ said) as it is still in heavy development and lot's of serious (and strange) bugs.
Quote:Slow netplay.
Question for developers or anyone else who may have an answer. Wasn't the netplay feature being re-done to use UDP sockets instead of TCP, since TCP likes to be slow and accurate? Or did whoever was working on it stop or leave or something?
- CHR15x94
Netplay now defaults to UDP sockets, but something's wrong as it's still slow with high pings (read : >20ms)
, also, testing it is really a pain for me as i have to bitch people around to try on the net with me etc.
it makes it really annoying to test changes, so i kind of gave up a little while ago
Emu Devs (not only dolphin) have nothing to do with this.
This is a review that was done because someone is trying to create a specific program , a Big-Emulator for all nintendo consoles or some sh** like that.
I only helped testing visual boy advance and no$gba, i don't know who tested dolphin ok?
And for all of you ill give you my own review of dolphin:
Compability - 5.0 - I have my ssbb with all trophies and I had chance of finishing RE Remake in hard mode (with cheats).
Interface - 5.0 - Nice, i love the banners.
Requirements - 5.0 - All my PC can run GC and Wii at full speed.
Multiplayer - 4.6 - Me and my friends can play four players but i'm waiting for netplay to work better.
Extras - 5.0 - Can run from the DVD Driver and Action Replay. Oh yeah, just what I needed.
Enhancements - 5.0 - Nothing to say just like in the review.
Support - 5.0 - Easy to configure and i have this forum to make some questions. Better help?
@ [SS] Starscream
Really? Well, I just gave r3785 a try. It runs about the same as the recent builds.
In SSBM, I get full speed with two characters, about 90% with three and 60-70% with four. I'm sure it's just my computer, considering I'm using an OEM computer (HP Pavilion Elite m9458f). Hopefully I can get a new one when my B-Day and Christmas come around...
@ sl1nk3
Oh, I see. Do you check for packets constantly or just before or after the frame is drawn? All my games/engines I write check before the frame is done, but only once, so I often get huge delays, even when running the client and server applications on the same machine.
