questions regarding gamecube game (I've purchased dolphin twice, happily) - hubrisnxs - 09-17-2014
(To those that don't want to read details, I've got Note 3,running 4.4.2, I've got the actual discs for Baten Kaitos that I bought for quite a bit, ensured that I backed up properly, but my wii says that save games are corrupted. I really would like to play, and was wondering if it can run at reasonable framerate/save corruption gone)
Sorry to have put in that I have purchased the premium version twice (something I encourage other boosters to do; if you have multiple accounts, you can't do it from phone, but if you go to play.google on your computer, it won't recognize linked accounts ). I know it's tacky, but this forum doesn't get much activity despite quite a lot of interest, and my question is a bit stupid.
So, here's the deal: I have one of the earlier wii, and wanted to play my old gamecube games. I have the actual game here, I'm not talking about piracy. Anyway, I was able to get my hands on Baten Katos from eBay, but because of various issues, the saves are corrupted.... I heard (disputed and various) reports that the most recent pc version of dolphin has solved this, but I'm rarely around my laptop, and my Galaxy Note 3 plays better than...
I'll shut up. I know that my Note 3 900A has qualcom snapdragon, but now that it's at Kit Kat, which I heard allowed for ES 3.0, I was wondering, hoping, sky wizard praying that it might run, being gamecube rather than than wii, and the save corruption not extant. I

Unfortunately, Dolphin still doesn't really run well on 99% of Android devices – the only devices capable of reasonable performance are those with Nvidia's Tegra K1 GPU. Yes, that's 90% due to GPU drivers; Qualcomm's are still horseshit even when they do support GLES3, and Mali chips are pretty so-so too – AFAIK, both vendors' drivers have issues with incredibly high CPU usage when running Dolphin. There's also inherent inadequacies in GLES3 that contribute to the shittiness of the current mobile Dolphin experience; the Tegra K1 just supports full desktop GL 4.4 and has no real driver issues, so the only performance/compatibility issues it can possibly have are related to the ARMv7 and ARM64 JITs, both of which are still receiving a decent amount of attention from HdkR. (Well, maybe the latter more than the former, but hey, the future matters more.)
tl;dr, while HdkR certainly appreciates your contribution towards his, uh, whatever-he-needs-money-for fund, you'd be best off just running Baten Kaitos on your laptop for now.

I know right, you'd have to be crazy to give him money since it's not like it helps development at all...

Ah, shit, right. Forgot he still has to buy more ARM devices. >_>

I hope, one day, someone will give me practical advice about what I should do, re: this here thread.

Hah, that isn't what was said originally, locking this because of that weird spam that was apparently deleted.
