I too have a Standard Nvidia Shield TV, 2017 model.
I was pretty good with emulation on lower end android stuff prior to the Shield. Very impressed with some of the stuff you can get close to perfect. With this and PSP emulation it's like having a PS2 again on top of all the other consoles.
Here's what I know with Gamecube emulation & games.
I started using Pal (Europe) Roms. It does make a slight tweak on a lot of games. You prob wouldn’t notice but I did on Mario Kart Double Dash. Just slightly smother and a better experience.
All of these are Eur Roms & Vulkan. I even swapped out the ones I originally had as US. I’ve kept the resolution the same as standard –through laziness tbh. I'm using google play version of Dolphin.
Works great:
Def Jam Vendetta (the 1st one – 2nd one doesn’t run apparently Fight for NY or something..) Works- Straight out of the box - no messing. Just Works. Perfect. Never played it before. Great Game. Loads of fun. Essentially WWF Smack Down with Rappers. Recommended.
Tony Hawk 3 works great – Vulkan - Out of the box - only one level (Tokyo) Dips frames and stutters sounds but I changed the clock speed down to around 50 to 65% and its almost un-noticeable on that level and everything else, all the other levels are smooth as. Amazing.
Tony Hawk 4 runs great again. I heard it didn’t but I love these games and thought I would try it out. Pleasantly surprised. if you mess about lowering the Clock Speed down. I'm at work writing this & don’t have access to my actual settings but I think if you lower it around 50 to 65% it works great.
Enter the Matrix – Works - very playable - certain annoying levels - on rail shooter sections in the Car etc - it dips in frame rate and sound - but they are few and far between and they don’t last very long. I’ve not experimented with clock speeds yet. It does slow down when its busy but I still played it front to back and will prob go back and have a mess around with the clock speeds.
Resident Evil 4 – Plays great occasionally slows down but nothing huge. Again – this was before I started messing with clock speeds.
Freedom Fighters – The same as Resident Evil 4. Plays great - occasionally slows down but nothing huge Amazing Game.
Terminator 3 Redemption ( I think it’s called) Works pretty good – One of the first I downloaded. Need to experiment with it but I had fun with it and it looked ok. Slowed down on very busy points – im sure I can tweak it.
Simpsons Road Rage – Just Works – Straight out of the box – no messing. Full speed. It's essentially a Crazy Taxi rip off.
WWE Day of Reckoning 2 – Just works. _ good game. Full speed no issues. There is a Wrestlemania game too that works which is very similar but Im not sure which one (not at home at mo). Recommended.
Bad Boys 2 – Works – Seems ok – not the best game though…
Burnout (the 1st one) - Just Works. No issues. I've heard the later ones are much better but struggle.
Viewtiful Joe - Quirky and fun. Works great.
Crash Team Nitro - Just Works. No issues.
Lugi’s Mansion - Works great - Slight slow downs. I have since swapped this from a US Rom to a Europe one and I am hoping it will make it even smoother.
Super monkeyball 2. Works great. No real issues.
Dosen't Work:
Star Wars Rouge Squadron – I Can’t get it to a playable speed. It sounds and looks, horribly slow.
Batman – The Rize of Sin Zu – Can’t get it anywhere near playable to make it fun. Same as Rouge Squadron really...
Rocky - Slow sound and bad frame-rate. Deleted it after a few goes messing with settings.
I have more but I think they’ve already been covered in the earlier posts.

[color=#111111]Hitman 2 - Seems to work fine no issues. Might amend clock speed but tutorial level looked fine. no issues.[/color]
[color=#111111] [/color]
[color=#111111]Capcom VS SNK 2 EO - Works great - some noticeable lines on the main sprites but nothing too bad - seems to run perfect apart from that. Not really the biggest 2d Street Fighter but this is so easy to play the EO stands for Easy option and the right analogue stick basically does all the special move combinations. - Good stuff.

[color=#111111] [/color]
[color=#111111]Teen Titans - Seems to work great right from the jump. no issues. [/color]
[color=#111111] [/color]
[color=#111111]Lord of the Rings – the Two Towers. Never played this back in the day but the cut scenes work great and it seems to run spot on with no issues. Might take a little while to get back into this sort of game as compared to new generation games it’s a little bit dated – think it dipped once or twice in the frame rate but I’m sure once the shaders are cashed it runs full speed. Cut scenes are long but it transitions into gameplay from them.[/color]
Trying to drum up more interest from fellow Shield Dolphin users. What games do you have that work great?
