Imagine a Gamecube portatil, is it relevant to do it? There are emulators I know, but these do not need to play the role of Hardware, and if it is relevant, does anybody know how to do it?

The difference is that dolphin isn't just your average emulator, it's much, much better than everything else. Why would I want a handheld gamecube that's "true" to how the game is when dolphin even on 2x internal res looks lordly? I have an i7 laptop and desktop and can do it on 4x at 1080p on battery and 5760x1080 respectively, it takes shit from 2003 and makes it look like it was from 2008.

Alternative is the battery pack and screen some third parties made for it. Good luck finding a battery that still works. Pic related, both, so you can cart your gameprism around.

Anyway we've had these "ironic" discussions time and time again and all hardware fags are always the same loser or entry level nostalgiashit who really just wants to go to >>>/vr/ .

>>53978651
And again you don't need to worry about any of this if you emulate. Nobody is nostalgic for a system, you're nostalgic for the games. Emulator gives you both choices - it can look shitty and original if you want, or if you have a PC made after 2010 it can look a hundred times better. You're bypassing the original graphics output completely.

No matter how much of a pro you are at electronics and you make some amazing gamecube hardware - let's just say you could make it paper thin where it's just a screen and buttons. You will still never ever have
>multiple screen outputs
>modern opengl / directx features like pixel shaders
>Anything higher than 1x internal res

You also will never have save states, not as relevant for gamecube since it always had native save options. Important not for cheating but to save your spot if you have to quit immediately, or right before some gay luck based shit or something where you'd have to replay the last 20 minutes just for another try. Always see hardware shits shitting on save states but it literally "shit part of the game that everyone hated" insurance.

And yet we'll soon see

not entirely true, it depends entirely on the emulator, some render worse than the original system, many render at the original system and alot have problems with muddiness that the games didn't have.
we're talking 3d games here, i'd say it depends just as much on the emulator as your pc

It would be even worse on the console itself. The GC was 480p right? That's probably max and most would use even less.

Would love to see the exact same position in game rendered on the gamecube for comparison. My favourite part about arguing with nostalgiafags is that on one side, you have the shitty console blurring the graphics, and on the other side you have nostalgia unblurring it. They look up their old games and inevitably will only be able to find emulator screenshots which all look better, then they use that beauty to "remember" it that way on their memories.

Was at a meetup with a few friends in 2008, one of them thought he was so cool for going up to his attic and pulling out his 64 with smash bros and bringing it for us all. Had the emulator on my laptop which I brought but he insisted that it must be the "original" way. After 3 minutes of side by side comparison nobody gave a fuck about the 64. My favourite lines from this
>So anon how long did it take this person to re-code the whole game for the PC, it's like perfect

I mean I still have my consoles to play games on, but I use emulators as well. I'm not autistic about nostalgia faggotry or MAX GRAFFIX

I've been running games like this as well, and I realised that the way they developed were basically just vector anything that moves, and sprites for anything else.

Which makes the game looks fucking amazing on higher resolutions.

Dolphin is shit and has massive issues with many games.

Don't tell me otherwise. Don't tell me it "runs fine for you" or claim I have a shit computer.

There are massive glitches in nearly every game. If you're so pleb to not care about these things you're worthless.

>>53991044
But I will.

>Pikmin 1&2
>F-zero GX
>MGS 1.5
>SSB Melee and Brawl
>Soul Calibur II
>Wind waker
>SF Adventures
>Luigi's mansion

Never had any issue with any of these at 1080p on a first gen i5, played start to finish. Version matters. Even if it's worked forever, a new update can ruin a game, you just have to find one that works for you and at max keep around 3 versions.

You must post what obscure game you tried to get working with it, so I can then say nobody cares about it. Same shit with N64, that gay japanese ninja game that everyone brings up and insists is super good so they can pretend their complaint is valid. Proof of hipsterism is that nobody ever complains about Rouge Squadron.

Did you just make this for me? Might as well make it text bubbles like a phone texts conversation instead of stick figures.

Again, every time we have this conversation:

>What game did you want to play
>The super obscure one that doesn't work so I can say it doesn't work so that the whole emulator sucks

So use virtualboy advance. But I guess you won't because of this picture that you made to defend against what I'm saying right now. Hilariously enough I've never even heard of a gameboy game that won't work properly in it so it's even harder to make this excuse.

My theory on this - Hardwarefags are the type of earthbound nostalgia people wherein they can't ever actually re-experience the game again because they would have to admit it sucks and their nostalgia and memories were wrong, therefore they hate the way it's able to come back vis-a-vis emulators, and must insist you get the original hardware and cart so that they can't or in their case it will cost way too much, then never play it again, and keep on remembering it as perfect.

No, it's the same with all anti-emulator people. Was on /vr/ when it was new and it was great until the secret-clubbers showed up.

Every time we'd argue about this, the reason is always
>but this super obscure game that nobody cares about doesn't work so emulators just suck altogether
And the one popular game that doesn't is never mentioned. My other favourite is "they're illegal"

I guess the other theory is they got one of those rip off flashcarts instead and don't feel it was worth the absurd prices they always are

Why in the fucking world would you need this? Handheld are extremely obsolete to mobile devices. We have modern portable hardware that is strong enough to port fucking PS3/360 level game with ease.

It barely runs on that, and the Shield TV isn't portable and focuses on video performance, may as well use a PC at that point

Anybody here played RE4 with Dolphin? I tried the Wii version a few years ago on my i5 750 box and it was mostly ok but chugged at points and there was a point in the game where it'd always crash and you couldn't finish the game.

For that matter, is there an appreciable difference between the Wii and GC versions or is pretty much the same shit?
