I've now dumped 25 #Nintendo #GameCube titles, and I think that concludes my entire library!

Onward to the rest of my #Wii games, which are a marginally more annoying because multilayer discs may require SD card swaps and the final images need to be reassembled from chunks.

I store the games in RVZ format for #DolphinEmulator, it packs the unused disc space filled with junk data pretty well. It's surprising how well some of these games compress. Wii Sports isn't actually a full DVD (4.7 gigs), RVZ image is just 638 megabytes.

Finally (mostly) fixed the framerate and audio stutters in Dolphin Emu on my Steam Deck whenever I pressed the volume buttons.

Turning off vsync does the trick. The framerate only slightly goes down now and with turning that off and enabling audio stretching there are no audio stutters at all.

And that also improved the stutters in general, not just when pressing those buttons.

#dolphinemulator visual enhancements should be more universally appreciated. These environmental textures were so diluted on the original hardware.

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live:

- F-Droid Client & Basic 1.22.0 are out (dare to update!)
- #webxdc is spreading its tentacles
- #dolphinemulator has a huge update
- #newpipe brings one fix, one still missing
- Catshare unifies device-to-device sharing

Continuing my quest to dump my #Nintendo #GameCube / #NintendoWii games for my own use.

[long sip of coffee]
...hm. The utter masterpiece #Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a single-layer disc, yet the wonky mess Metroid: Other M needed a dual-layer disc? ...As they say, *true* artists know how to crunch shit down.

There is a "#Stereoscopy" function in the #GameCube #emulator Dolphin's settings. It seems to be designed for #3D TVs, or maybe red/blue #anaglyph. I wonder if I could get it working on my #ValveIndex #VR headset.

When I first heard of RetroAchievements about a year ago, I immediately dismissed it as a silly gimmick.

BUT THEN…it came to GameCube.

And goddammit, that's gotten me to actually install Dolphin for the first time in years!

The Steam Deck is as strong as it's ever been.

Dolphin with a bad dump be like, "It's not gonna work, I swear it's not gonna work, it most likely won't work at all, trust me!"

J'ai dumpé la nand via #BootMii et je l'ai extrait pour l'émulateur Dolphin (Windows).
Sur Dolphin, je démarre la Chaîne Photos, je met en diaporama sans zoom, et je fait des captures d'image.
Voilà

By checking out and compiling the iOS version of the GameCube Dolphin emulator, I got this emulator running natively on Vision Pro.

This makes it possible to play GameCube games with just a DualSense controller and the Vision Pro!

The quality is often higher than the original since Dolphin supports higher rendering resolutions and improved texture filtering.

When I play Knockout Kings 2003 using the standalone Dolphin emulator, the controller vibrations are very weak, not even noticeable, despite the rumble being set to 100%. But when I use the Dolphin core in #RetroArch, I feel the vibrations at full wack, as if I was playing on an actual GameCube. #Dolphin #DolphinEmu #DolphinEmulator #emulator #emulators #emulation

Nintendo double downs its stance against emulation...

After @dolphin was banned from the Steam storefront, #Nintendo provided a statement to Kotaku stating that it illegally circumvented Nintendo's protection measures and it runs illegal copies of games. Using illegal emulators/game copies harms development and stifles innovation.
