Just discovering the joys of Dolphin on PC. Currently playing Super Mario Sunshine with a widescreen hack at 2560x1440 and using a DS4 controller.

It's fantastic :toot:

Did you know that Dolphin also supports VR?
It allows you to play Metroid Prime as a VR FPS.

I did but I forgot. Need to try that out.

Got a few odd glitches going on. At the moment when I enter water, mario just passes through like it was air so I can just run around. This means I can't swim anywhere - could be game breaking later on if I can't find a fix. Second I have fludd in the fluddless abstract levels and I don't know why.

Haven't used it in years but I used to always use Gens as my Megadrive emulator, it ran Mega CD and 32X games quite well iirc, it even ran Mega CD games directly off the original discs.

Try different BIOS, it runs fine for me on the games I've tried.

:shock:

That might just about get around my cack-handedness with the original Cube control scheme. : :slol:

I tried that, I started with the model 1 BIOS then tried model 2 but it made no difference. The issues could be game specific as Spider-Man ran just fine.

For the record the games that I had trouble with were the CD32X version of Corpse Killer where the intro movie plays just fine but the game crashes at the title screen and Ultraverse Prime where the game runs just fine but only the sound effects play and not the music making the whole thing really eerie.

TL;DW version: Nintendo picks and chooses which bits of copyright law and fair use policy it wants to abide by for monetising Youtube videos, therefore its equally ok for everyone else to do the same by pirating/emulating their games.

I like the Jimquisition videos but that one just didn't click with me. The "it's okay to pirate Nintendo games" ranting didn't feel right... Jim usually does some pretty cool analysis on subjects but this time around I felt that his reasoning seemed to be wafer thin.

How so? Nintendo disregards the fair use bit of copyright law when it comes to claiming monetisation from youtube videos which use materials in a way which should be protected by it, all the while extolling the evils of emulators as breaking a different bit of the same laws. Ignoring one bit while championing the others is hypocritical, therefore there is no moral reason not to do the same in return, especially considering Nintendo's stubborn resistance to sell its massive back catalogue for even more money. I would rather emulate a rare game like Metroid Prime on the Wii than pay some ebay scalper hundreds of pounds; money which wouldn't go to the publisher or developers anyway.

I think he makes a valid point, if only because nintendo's stance is so utterly draconian. They state on their website that the machines used for copying games are illegal on the basis of their very function! Well, what about vhs, cd, DVD and blue ray recorders? What about sky boxes? Or do videogames enjoy some special status above and beyond other electronic media?

Didn't it turn out that games on the Virtual console were just ROMs despite Nintendo protesting to the contrary? In fact there was a post here recently suggesting something similar.

I hate to sound entitled but I have owned multiple copies of many Nintendo classics starting with owning actual cartridges through to buying titles from sometimes 2 different online stores which is shady operating at best. Nintendo etc have had my money several times over already, so who exactly am I hurting by playing some of their games on my computer?

Can't tell if you're being serious or just channelling the IT Crowd.

Nintendo themselves pirate their own games. They got caught out downloading a ROM from a website and uploading it to the VC for sale not long ago.

Probably a long shot since googling this predictably brings up zero results. But has anyone had any problems playing Sega Mega CD games on OpenEmu on Mac? Trying to play Snatcher and when I click on the rom it boots up but I get this:

EDIT: hmmm it might just be a dodgy rom because Sonic CD works fine. I'll try downloading it somewhere else.

Have tried a proper iso rather than a cut down rom?

Would anyone happen to know if you can get a Mega Drive style controller that I could plug into my laptop to play SEGA roms through Kega Fusion? I'm loving having all the old games available to me but not too impressed with having to use a keyboard.
