Xenoblade Chronicles (Title screen) - 720p Dolphin test

All the cool kids are doing it!

I used Dolphin's texture dumper/loader to replace the "Press any button", "new game", "continue", "options", and selection cursor images with fully transparent ones so I could not only show the titlescreen without unnecessary text (ignoring the copyright), but also show off the logo without any other stuff showing up.

I managed to grab a larger monitor at a thrift store (not a CRT thankfully), so I'm now able to record in 720p. This is a test using Xenoblade Chronicles (PAL, with the 30FPS patch) in Dolphin r3.0-371 (as they seem to have broken the builds to follow). If anyone's really interested, I can put up my settings, but until then, I don't feel like writing it out.

If you have the game in Dolphin's game list, right click it, hit properties, and enable "Accurate VBeam emulation". It can speed games up quite a lot if they're running slowly.

I tried running mario kart wii, and its playable but barely, at about 22 FPS

@sonicfreak94 Sweet dude, I finally made a build so I'm running an AMD althlon X2 7550 (maybe I should OC a bit), Nvidia GTS 240 1 GB graphics card, and 4 GB of 400MHz DDR2 RAM

@420crue You're computer isn't very high end if it can't play Dolphin games at full HD. Dolphin is quite demanding, but a "very high end" computer should be able to handle it fine (Other than games which are bugged in Dolphin, of course).

On-topic(/video?)

That looks pretty amazing. Didn't expect such nice graphics in a Wii game (Even if emulated).

looks very nice SF94 wish i could get looks and speed with dolphin like that :P i have a very high end comp but i can never get my games to full HD and full speed (i want to play Kirby return to Dreamland soooo bad lol)
