How to emulate SUPER SMASH BROS MELEE at FULL SPEED [no joke] (32-bit windows XP or Vista)

HEY YOU, THERE, READ ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




FINAL UPDATE! (04/07/09)
As I don't wanna take care of answering all the doubts about the emulator anymore, I will disable the comments but I will leave you a webpage where you will find the ALL the NEWEST versions of Gamecube Dolphin Emulator (yes, there are more versions than the ones I put here before) which constantly updates to the newest ones. It's a spanish website, so I translated it via google. The website is:

http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=es&ie=UTF-8...

The website has:
-pictures about how to configure the emulator properly (The video I've done was a long time ago, there weren't many options in that time)
-All the newest versions of dolphin
-A compatibility list (with some videos of gameplay) and I think there is a version of Dolphin in which you can play online, but don't ask me, I've never tried it.

If you have any doubts, and if you know spanish you can register there, and people who know about the emulator will answer you. ... if you don't know spanish... well, I don't know, give it a try in english, maybe they will understand you, maybe not. ... But you shouldn't have biiiig troubles with the emulator. If you do, make sure of two things: that you meet the minimum requirements (mentioned in the website I put) and that you have the latests: Windows Service Pack, video card drivers and Direct X version.

If you don't wanna visit that website, you can still download good versions of Dolphin from:
here: http://www.nyleveia.com/daco/ (there is even a Linux version there)
or here: http://www.xtemu.com/forum/index.php?automodule=downloads&cmd=viewcat&...

This video was made a long time ago, if you have a lot of difficulties while configuring the emulator, trying searching in youtube for a newer videotutorial.

*deleted unneccessary previous updates*

4rth update (30/04/09): There is a version of the emulator which is optimized to run Super Smash Bros Brawl (yes, the Wii game. Didn't you know that Dolphin can also run Wii games? well, it can, and pretty good in some cases) . You can download it here: http://cid-b83cdd11666372e1.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Dolphin/Dolphin-r2996... and you need to download and extract this file (http://cid-b83cdd11666372e1.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Dolphin/masterkey.rar) in the folder "... \Sys\Wii" (in the Dolphin main directory)

------------------
Audio Plugin: http://www.ngemu.com/index.php?action=post&id=2325 (the first link is the 32 bit edition plugin for Dolphin, that's the one you need unless you have a 64 bit system)

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
MAYBE the emulator won't come with all the other plugins (the video and controller plugins), so I uploaded all of them compressed. Here you got 3 options to download them (you just need to choose 1 of the following links ;) ) :).

Link 3 (4shared):
http://www.4shared.com/file/57892915/f1576449/Plugins.html

When the file finishes to download, unzip it in Dolphin's main folder (the same where it is the main Dolphin executable). That's it, when you start the emulator you should have all the plugins and you are ready to configure the emulator just like the video ;)

-UPDATE!!! (14/11/08): Many people complained about I didn't put the kb/360 pad plugin in the pack of plugins. Well, that's not true, but I think that I should post that plugin alone, so that nobody can tell me "it isn't there". Here you got it:

Link 4 (megaupload):

The pad plugin is zipped. Unzip it in the "plugins" folder and that's it. Now you can't tell me I didn't upload it. But if you still don't see it in the emulator, it's a Windows recognision problem and I don't know how to solve it (for now...)

----------
Notes:

1)At the end, the audio is a bit off sync, sorry about that, that was because of the video converter I had to use.

2)I don't know why, but it can emulate sound "effects" but not the background music...
