Right, i think there is a newer build, but when looking through it, i dont see any netplay options anywhere in the menu's. Am i supposed to just overwrite the files of the original netplay build or something?
There are special builds that you are supposed to use that have Netplay capabilities. Not all versions of Dolphin can do netplay, so you wouldn't have the option if you are just scrolling through the website looking for the newest build.
$300 is a seriously low budget for a good pc. You might want to consider saving up at least 500 first. Anyways, you should go with the Pentium G3258 processor as it is Haswell (4th generation) and overclockable with a Z97 motherboard. It has serious single thread performance (which is what Dolphin requires, it relies heavily on the CPU, not GPU like most PC games). You can overclock it very high with the stock cooler and the air because it doesn't use much power and it will perform similar to the highest end processors in Dolphin. 4GB of RAM is sufficient, and as for the graphics card you can get away with very little since Dolphin doesn't need a good video card unless you want to play 1080p+, but in order to future proof your machine you should get something that isn't total crap, I would go with the GTX 750 ti. It's basically the best price/performance budget graphics card.
All builds of Dolphin have Netplay capabilities. You can find it under tools->start netplay. However, you must use the same build of Dolphin as your opponent to prevent desyncs. Because of this, we choose to settle on a recent build of Dolphin and then update as a community whenever there is something worth updating for. Currently, we use 4.0-6554.
I suggest he take a look at the gc pad settings while the game is running on netplay and see if he can remap the keys then.
Pcpartpicker.com will make sure the parts you pick are compatible. One thing beginners do is cheap out on the power supply which you don't want to do. Get one that is at least 80+ bronze (there is a filter) from a reputable brand (corsair, evga, something like that). I could probably put something together for you let me see..
Right, that's why I suggested you go with the 750 ti as opposed to some ****ty graphics card. You should be able to do some pretty decent gaming as well and everyday tasks will run pretty smoothly as well. Is there anything in particular you had in mind? Also the great thing about this build is the future proof upgradability. The Z97 motherboard allows you do upgrade to any 4th gen i3/i5/i7 processor (and unlocked processors to overclock) and there are 3 extra RAM slots so you can definitely upgrade to 8GB of RAM if you ever feel you need it.
Usually hardware is modernly relevant for like 3-5 years, but like I said, I made sure it was upgradable. By relevant I mean being on par with modern pc games and stuff like that. In terms of the pc actually working, should be fine for like at least 10 years lol
have you figured this out Kazu? because I have been facing the same problem.
Your specs are way more than what's required. You should really update to the latest build, 4.0-6554.Seems like I should be getting an easy 60fps on 652 with this setup but performance jumps all over the place depending on the settings, any suggestions?
Edit: OpenGL with Vertex Streaming Hack seem to help a lot
No you can have multiple versions of dolphin. Support was dropped for 652 on smashladder and the server is going to go offline for 652 soon.
Oh I see. What about the Vertex Streaming Hack? I dont see it in the new options
The hack was removed. As Dolphin evolves, it tries to get faster, more accurate, and less hacky. For the best experience on the new build, use fullscreen.
Assuming you use the Wii U adapter, lag is usually 3-5 frames. It's pretty good. Your net is fine, your ping will be variable based on the location of your opponent, because you ping your opponent. What are you going to build?
Thanks! Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm not too fluent in networking. What does a 1ms response tie monitor specifically do?
He's suggesting you get a low input lag monitor. Response time =/= input lag though. What other things do you plan to do with your pc? 3k is a huge budget. You could build a top of the line pc for 1.5k. Are you planning on doing 4k or something? I could help you put together something.
Thank you for this informationlow input lag, yeah
this is a great resource for that purpose http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/
though it doesn't have all monitor models http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/aoc-g2460pqu-144-hz-gaming-monitor,3827-9.html
First of all, latest build is 6554, not 5886. You should use the guide here https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index...._Controller_Adapter_for_Wii_U_in_Dolphin#OS_X
I'd love to help you out with that. Just got a few questions. Is this build for the pc or does it need peripherals too (monitor/keyboard/mouse/OS)? Do you plan to do other stuff with it like pc game?
It's really easy. Install Windows and other programs on the SSD because it's much faster. This interactive guide is helpful when learning how to build. http://www.pcityourself.com/index.php
Make sure you get the Nintendo or Mayflash 4 port adapter as well, they offer the least input latency because they are compatible with Dolphin's native support.
Set your power plan to high performance, for one thing.
