I just woke up about half an hour ago. #x is inactive again, I'm actually posting for some reason. Yay for metaposting.

It's cold.

Hey Treeki, are you still working on your NSMB editor? Sorry, I really haven't been following that but I'm curious

Not really, Dirbaio is working on it now mostly (and has improved it a lot).

Now I'm working on Reggie!, an editor for NSMB Wii. Screenshot

.. or I should be working on it, but instead I'm procrastinating as usual

Oh wow, that's awesome!

Anyways, it would be a pain to test it if you had to burn it to a DVD and load it every time you make a small change :/ Unless there are already Wii emulators

That's what you think

There's a hack we're working on that can replace the game's files with stuff from the SD card (including levels). And the game emulates very well on Dolphin, if your computer is good enough. I've played it through to almost 100% with it (I'm only missing a few star coins in World 9)

Oh wow, I've been certainly missing a lot on the Wii hacking scene. It seems to ahead of its time...

Sadly I can't use Dolphin (probably not), while I have a very fast PC with a lot of RAM, my video card sucks (it can barely play The Sims 3 without lowering the settings to the minimum.

Well, I guess it depends on what games you want to play on it. My video card is old (one of the first DX10 cards; a Nvidia Geforce 8500GT) and I get 60fps while playing NSMBWii. It drops to about 40fps in more graphics intensive levels though, and I have to use an EFB hack that breaks animated tiles or it runs extremely slowly.

If you have a lot of patience, you can play through many games. I finished Super Mario Galaxy (61 stars) on Dolphin at about half the game's normal speed. I just booted it up (Although my copy of Dolphin is old, I should probably upgrade it) and I get 29fps using the Direct3D9 plugin and 13fps using OpenGL in 720p. I lowered the OpenGL resolution to 720x480 and turned on the EFB hack. It runs at 16fps now.. how did I ever play this?

I guess older versions ran SMG better or something.

I'm surprised you have such a crappy video card considering the CPU/RAM which are both quite good. I bought this computer two years ago.

Here's mine:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4GHz)
RAM: 2GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT

Little sleep and no caffeine make me an asshole.

Though the same could be said about anything, really.

At least you can play The Sims 2 & 3 with good graphics with those specs. I was stuck with a slow game and crappy visuals

I don't drink coffee, I dislike it ... I don't even drink sodas :specialed:

I have both games but I don't have them installed now (since I upgraded to Win7) and I rarely played them anyway.

Besides, according to ModTheSims2 this card has cooling design flaws (I am 100% sure that is true) and isn't supposed to even work with TS2. It worked fine for me, except for once when this happened

I had gone out and left the game running. That happened when I got back.

Oh wow, that's rather unusual. My card could play The Sims 2 fine with no problems, but I did have to lower the settings for it to play at normal speed.

Just the base game, or with EP's as well?

I'd be surprised if it could play with EPs (the 6150SE is integrated afaik although I could be wrong) but then again some of them are pretty old.

Yep, I could run it with almost every EP installed with no noticeable problems. I even had a lot of custom content installed.

I had all the EPs, but for some reason, only the last one which was installed worked. That drove me insane.

Eventually I just uninstalled them and got rid of all the install files for every one except for Apartment Life (the newest one) to save HD space.

Yeah, I asked someone and he told me that it was highly unlikely I could play EPs well with my card but I went ahead and installed them anyways and they ran perfectly... I didn't try The Sims 3 with an EP though, I uninstalled it shortly after installing it

(about two weeks)

Sims 3 has far higher requirements so I doubt it would run well. Even on my computer, it was quite slow and took a long time to load.

I never even played it for long

That happened to me with all the Sims games (I haven't played Sims 1 though). I'd spend several days making a huge house, making Sims etc. Then I'd move everyone in, play the game for a few minutes and get bored.
