Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Outdated; Use this template for new threads!





Since I've seen different people creating different layout for game topics. It makes everything a lot more complex for newbies, so it would be better to put a standard scheme for posting threads. 3 ways of doing it.

That's all you need to post a game thread, follow 1 of these 3 ways to have everything explained just perfectly

You can ask questions and make suggestions here!

Hi Dear.
Thanks a million. Very useful indeed. I've taken a quick look at the links and i think this could be quite an interesting path to follow. Once again thank you very much.

Thanks for mentioning my way

i like nosound's way (plus an "about" included in it )

I changed my scheme, you might want to update it

I think that all of Gthreads have to put the info for configs...

Yap. I usually ask those who make a official game thread to add either screenshot of config or type it all out. Its kinda pointless for threads to have screenshots and have a very generic "use default dolphin settings" etc. To many people take the easy way out which is the kraid template instead of devulging more configuration information using nosounds method etc. Its all still good template designs and has added great stability of game threads made.

Yeah!
You can see the best config in first page is very important, since some of us don't have web in home and want to see quickly what's the best config without see all the posts!
And of course: thanks nosound!

Where may I post a new game tread?? In this topic??
I can't create a new thread in Game Discussion.

You'll have to make 10 posts in other sections first.
