No.

>>320278326
One of them.

The original game was at 30 FPS

>>320278670
Damn, that's incredible looking.

>>320278326
No, it's actually holding back video games.
There's always room for improvement, but nostalgia overpowers the creative mind

Hello Reddit

What I said is true and you know it
>>
>>320278326
Its pretty good, if only because if it didnt exist companies would probably be jewing us with lazy ports/remakes even harder than they are already doing.

If it wasn't for emulation i would have already stopped caring about this shitty industry,i think i have fifty times more videogame knowledge than you desu.

>implying what you said wasn't a comment

Literally retarted
>>
>>320279085
are you trying to imply all old games were bad or something
>>
>>320280005
Anon, you need to move on.
You already played those games years ago
>>
>>320279769
comments and replies essentially mean the same thing, sperglord
>>
>>320278326
The ability to play any game ever made makes you want to play none of them
>>
>>320280249
Do you realize how many games have been released since the beginning? And don't give me the "but most of them are bad" bullshit since the same thing can be said for games that come out today.
>>
It's cool, but it's not better than the real consoles or arcade boards because without them, emulation wouldn't exist.

it's good for preservation and archiving, and letting newer generations play older classics, that's for sure.
>>
>>320278326
We have lots of games that would have been lost forever had they not been emulated. Try going through the some of the most ancient computer games without DOSbox or VICE being a thing.

no i didn't, i never got the chance

Yes. the existence of MAME is almost enough to make me cry.

i guess we're both at fault

It's not pointless if I can get easy (You)s from /v/eddit.

i hate that feeling, i have only beat about 5 games out of the hundreds ive downloaded. but i have played most of the ones im interested in when the first released on consoles.
>>
>>320281963
Buy more RAM

>>320281963
Stop buying AMD CPUs.
>>
>>320281963
In Dolphin? It depends on the game. Generally, turning off EFB Access to CPU will increase frames but a lot of games need that to work correctly.

Also having a good GPU will only help you so much. You need a powerful CPU to emulate Wii games.

not that anon but in reddit they're called COMMENTS and on 4chan they're called POSTS. if you call it a comment you're from reddit, fuck off.

I'm so glad you can emulate this game. it still looks beautiful as ever.
