If anyone has looked at leaked Nintendo source, then they can't work on Dolphin.* So, hopefully no one here is able to tell if CEMU has Nintendo source in it.
...also it doesn't matter, if they HAD Nintendo source code they would have refactored it before going open source, cause they are not idiots.
*simplifying a little bit
They do seem to have erased the Git history, and I can't imagine anyone vaguely competent would attempt such a massive project without source control.

I don't have any of my dumps on the system yet so not sure if any games will launch. I was unable to get the controller plugins to load (and some other ones, didn't get a list) so I guess I won't have any input unless I can fix that too.
Took me awhile, but here is a picture. Games won't load because it complains about stuff missing, but I'll look into getting that fixed maybe.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, since it is about Dolphin itself (not Off-topic), but it also covers other emulators, so excuse me if this doesn't belong here.
I was looking at this benchmark to compare the i3-10100 and the i5-10400. I've been told that single thread performance is a huge deal for emulation, so that's why I think this should be a good way to help me decide which option to go for. But the thing is, the i3 seems to outperform the i5 by quite a bit. Nothing too crazy, but it still does:

The i3 has a score of 2631, while the i5's score is 2586. I'm sure I'll be able to play the games I wish to... play on Dolphin, but would either of those options make a difference for more demanding emulators (Cemu, Yuzu, RPCS3, Xenia, etc.)?
Also, it seems the i3-10105 goes even further beyond in terms of single core performance, and I see it being sold at roughly the same price where I live.
Both CPUs are from the same generation and aren't low-end enough to have been kneecapped, so should perform just as well as each other provided the clock speed is the same. However, the i3 is clocked much higher than the i5. That means the i3 will win in single-threaded applications, despite losing in multithreaded ones. That's not abnormal as two cores use half as much power as four when they're at the same clock speed, so there's plenty of headroom to clock the i3 higher while still hitting the same power target.
Ah, different clock speeds, I see. Don't know why I did not notice that before.
Thanks for the answer.

Very cool! Especially since Dolphin has to my knowledge never supported Win9x. EDIT: Poked around and pre-open source versions did work on Win9x but it was not officially supported. Once Dolphin got out of the hibernation period and into open source, it did not work whatsoever on 9x.

It isn't native support; I'm using a Kernel Extender.

I wouldn't call <2% improvement quite a bit. The 10105 is another 3%. And there seems to be some noise because AFAIK the F CPUs are supposed to be identical other than the lack of iGPU but the 10105 supposedly outperforms the 10105f by 1.5%.
Dolphin can't make use of the extra cores.
Cemu can run a tricore recompiler and probably has a heavy gpu thread and maybe more? Not sure, but probably not super significant difference.Â
Yuzu is similarÂ
https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-prometheus/
"With multicore, there are now 6Â threads in use: four for the CPU, one for the timer, and one for the emulated GPU. It is worth noting that CPU core 4 is rarely used. Of these 6, effectively 5 threads have considerable use but not all will be running constantly."
So probably not too different, but the 10400 has room to put all threads on real cores.
I couldn't find a good source for xenia, but it seems to not have all that heavy cpu needs.
RPCS3 absolutely loves coresÂ

The first thing that you should consider is that RPCS3 can heavily utilize up to 16 CPU threads, and once you go past that it’s very likely that you won’t see improvements. What this means is that once you have a CPU with 16 threads, you should invest in a faster single core performance instead. Keep in mind that you definitely won’t need 16 threads for all the titles, in RDR and a few other titles for instance won’t care if you go from 8C/8T to 8C/16T."[/color]
Back in the day ULV CPU was weak , today it can run everything I throw at ...yuzu , cemu , Rpcs3... you name it
Have a blast with the new Ryzen 5 5625U Â
