The Dolphin?

[Haucusuchus]

Anyone know where this supposed GC emulator came from? If you haven't seen it yet, there are some screenshots on the NGemu homepage.

[Andrew Hruska]

Somebody coded it but didn't make a release AFAIK. ( they, he, she ) has just been sending images of this GC emulator which appears to be very real. I know something that would be very easy to emulate.. the Zelda bonus disc! Muhahaha..hehehe

[DC_daNMan]

Well, at the rate they are getting through stuff, that zelda bonus disc might not be as far off as you think...

[Malcolm]

The emulator is very real, the images have been either DCC'd or email'd to the people posting and Azimer said that the images come from the GC SDK disc.

[Regulus]

Its gotta be real. If they had the SDK demo disk, why would they make fake shots......and even if they did, how?? No working emulator to run them.....

[DC_daNMan]

And when was the validity of this emulator ever questioned? Its real.

[WinterHell]

****.Just cant believe about everything this.Gamecube is nearly emulated to be playable?Damn.Today i'll receive my NGC and the same day i see emulated GC on screenshots.If not fake,What is the framerate & on what PC is started the emulator?

[Carmofin]

ah well, i think the good GC games all make use of even the last button of the gamepad pad and i dont see how you you could use that on the PC where gamepads are still ****...

im confused...why is "The Dolphin" the thread topic...and were talking about GCs... (gamecubes, correct???)

the dolphin is a console that plays many different consoles all in one...or so i thought...

[jokku]

Everybody with a TV tuner could take some screenshots of a console game playing using the computer as the TV and than put the image in a different window, but I don't think that this emulator is fake, cuz it's showing some results that would be perfect on the console itself. The guy who is behind this emulator probably don't want to be too annoyed by our questions, problems, or else... so he don't present himself (or herself ) till it's finished ... probably

The Dolphin was the name of the Gamecube before Nintendo changed it... after the final design of the console was made

[dot|hack]

Gamecubes codename was Dolphin

No really ?!

Jokku they are using the GC SDK disc and stuff , us normal people don't have them , nor have access to them IIRC. So according to me it isn't a fraud , so don't even begin about using a tv tuner seeing as they didn't show any commercial games yet.

hehe i´ve read about some people who got this but as i said in the zww comment thread , as the author wants to be anonymous , it´s kinda imoplite to guess his identity.
but one think is fore sure , this thing IS NOT FAKE!
its simply good coding skill (which is to expect when you would have read this what i´ve read about...)

[Haucusuchus]

And now it is showing ingame graphics from Zelda Windwaker. If this is real, it's made some incredible progress!

Is it possible to create this wire-frame graphics on a gamecube, hacked or otherwise?

[campi]

if it's real I don't think one man alone could have coded it in such a hurry, and it progresses day by day, so it must mean that more ppl are coding it, and if so I'm sure some of them would give his/hers identity to the masses

[jokku]

T.O.F.K.A.Z I'm not saying that this emulator is fake, like I wrote before, I don't think this one's a fake cuz it's showing some results that would be perfect on the console itself, so please, don't say opposite of what I wrote .

The framerate is written in each screenshot at the bottom of them, the last zelda in-game screens were run at 1,37 and 1,27 fps... but maybe you already know

I wander too on what kind of pc they are running it.

[Sir Key]

jokku better don't double and triple post else kane will post his "use the edit button pic" ... if you're smart you delete your last two posts quickly and copy paste them into the one at 04:37 if not... ah well... back on topic... the guys from the dolphin project were smart when developing the emu... not only at coding.. they were also smart enough not to show themselves to the public this way round they don't get bothered too much and they are still believed in.... if you look at Xeon for example he did it pretty wrong... first posted some pics then getting bombarded with spam and whatever and now we don't see anymore progress... if the guys from the dolphin project stop noone can be blamed for beeing lazy of course we hope that the project will finish until christmas
damn... i still didn't realize that these guys emulated a commcercial game in such a good way ... i still remember how people used to say it still takes years until commcercial games will be playable... but that's not because the emu's suck... the cpu's and gpu's suck

Actually you started about the TV tuner , not me but I guess you misunderstood my post , I meant it can hardly be a fake because of the reasons I stated before. As for the SDK I have only heard of a few cases conserning "basic" users having them , but still I ain't saying it's somebody from Nintendo or a develop company but seeing as they progress so fast they must have a certain knowledge of the GC , but documentation on the GC is few , so if and I say if I had to guess , I would say it's somebody of Nintendo , but this is just a hunch offcourse.

And Jokku please don't double or even triple post , if you don't want to get hit by Kane's dumbass stick and get the Use the freakin' Edit button Pic.
