Dolphin Emulator

[Maf]

I couldn't find a thread or appropriate thread for this so thought I just start one quick.

 

Not much too say that you don't already know. It runs GC and Wii games, and runs them really well. I got this working a minute a go

 

 

Looks stunning. I think it's running at 1440p? So looks great. Unfortunately it's a bit motion pointer dependant. I followed a guide to get the pointer working on the right analogue stick which is like what they've done for actual official Wii ports in the past. However it's extremely sensitive and even in the beginning levels where the game is easy it's not really reliable. Amazingly the emulator has a tonne of options to calibrate the sensitivity

 

 

Pretty amazing, right? But it's too much for me. 

 

A real Wiimote and Nunchuck can be paired through Bluetooth. But I don't know where mine are. 

 

Still, despite the drawbacks it's pretty fucking sick that it works so well. 

 

So I think this could be ideal for GC and Wii games that have simple motion controls like where the main input is shaking the controller, because that maps to a button. But anything more complex than that maybe not. 

 

Pretty impressed, though, got to be honest. As a bonus I found you don't even need an emulator or to download anything for GBA games. You can play them over the internet, although the music seems not great that way.
