Dolphin, the Wii Emulator: Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Beating Event 41 on Hard

This is me beating Event 41 on the "Hard" difficulty in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, played on my computer using Dolphin, the Wii emulator.

Dolphin version: Dolphin SVN R 4466
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i7-920, overclocked to 3.60 GHz
Graphics: Dual-SLi Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 Core 216, overclocked
RAM: Corsair Dominator 6 GB DDR3 RAM
Motherboard: EVGA X58 3X SLi

Graphics plugin: Dolphin D3D9 (I recommend using this plug-in as opposed to Dolphin OpenGL)
Resolution: 1680x1050 fullscreen
Anti-aliasing: 16xQ CSAA
Anisotropic filtering: 16x

These are the highest graphics settings possible on Dolphin.

Dolphin easily runs SSBB at full speed. The emulation is smooth and consistent, especially with the Dolphin D3D9 graphics plug-in, and looks great too. This video was recorded with FRAPS, which does cause some mess-ups here and there, as you can see in this video. However, when FRAPS isn't recording, Dolphin never slips up! =)

The graphics quality that you can achieve on this emulator is absolutely amazing - even surpassing the Wii's itself! If you know what you're doing and you have a half-decent computer, running this game at full speed shouldn't be a problem! Dolphin is a wonderful piece of work, and is arguably one of the greatest emulation projects of all time.

Don't even try to call this a fake recording pulled from a Wii. There's a reason why there are emulation notes at the top of the screen at the beginning of the recording. Besides, you can see my mouse pointer the entire time.

haha thanks man.

Hi i use D3D9 plugin and antialiasing doesn't work at all..how did you managed to get it working???

[xu3369]

Not really sure, I didn't do anything. I just turned it on and it worked.

I would suggest looking at your video card to see if it is good enough for anti-aliasing, and also check if your Super Mario Galaxy game file is PAL format.

I play Super Mario Galaxy [PAL] on Dolphin too, and it works fine for me.

you've got a powerful Rig there mate :) dual GTX's are the main reason for the smooth play I guess, you must be able to play FFX on PCSX2 no problems aswell!! very nice!!

[xu3369]

@zideeq Thanks!! never heard of PCSx2, but i googled it and it looks interesting! i will certainly try it.

[hehheeMAPLE]

[BussStopBoysPro]

[bughyyyman]

[bughyyyman]

[zideeq]

dude, if you want the RIGHT one for playing pCSX2 perfect I'll drop you a message in the week with all the links, because it's not EASY to get it!! most are fake! especially the plugins!!

[xu3369]

don't overclock your graphics cards, it won't help with this at all. just the CPU.
