It crashes, needs TLB...

You'll need to play this on your Gamecube, it does not work in Dolphin from what I've heard.

I wouldn't expect it to be working anytime soon because of TLB. Without TLB emulation some games won't work and will simply crash when a game calls for this instruction.

Dolphin developers already said that implementing TLB will drastically affect speed in Dolphin, severely slowing the speed of the emulator.

Since they don't seem to be too interested in TLB emulation because of these reasons, the only way to play it is on your Gamecube.

Well, they should because there are several games in TLB.. I know it will be slow down but still they should and see what's happening.. You never know.

ector is a bit too lazy to implement TLB emulation, also it'll be a pain to code for him.

I wouldnt say lazy :P I would say its not easy and that he wants to fix other things first.

Personally if TLB was implemented in some form with a way to enable/disable it, that would be greatly appreciated as some games rely on TLB to work, or the game crashes when this instruction/feature is called on in a game.

Even if it does potentially slow down the emulator, I would rather see accurate emulation than speedy emulation.

Any way, good job on managing to get this working.

Agreed, If he can get twin snakes working, he can get the Rogue leader working....and there will be much love

I think small, focused hacks that are guaranteed to only affect one game are OK, as a stopgap solution until we do MMU/TLB for real for example in this case. The MGS hack will be cleaned up and added to Dolphin soon, so we can all see if it really is playable

grimlord · December 8th, 2008

Thanx ector for that nice announcement.

i can't wait

AHE · December 9th, 2008

yes looking forward to some patches that you could enable and unenable by ticking something in core settings

seltay · December 9th, 2008
