I can manage to play Metroid Prime 1 & 2 at about 40+ FPS on my computer, but it dies when the game has to render water on the visor. I can't test Prime 3 yet because I only have the Trilogy version, which doesn't work yet.

Something I'd like to have known BEFORE I bought the wireless (wirless, according to the box) sensor bar and Bluetooth adapter.

Of course, the latter was all of Β£2, even if it was shipped from China.

From all the gamecube games I've played on my PC, the only one that was playable was Wind Waker at about 20 FPS :/

Well, Pokemon Colosseum was fast too, but it was very glitchy on Dolphin.

So I just realized I've made 38 posts today somehow. What the hell? I'm not even trying to spree! This is kinda balls.

Are you really sure you're not? It sure feels like it for me, but I'm partaking for a reason.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm not. I've just been clicking topics and responding to them and drinking water.

What's "water"? I'm pretty sure I'm drinking H2O.

I wonder why so many people claim to hate Disney stars. I actually like some songs from Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus.

I think the thing about Disney stars is that they have a reputation for becoming kinda trashy when they grow up (Brittney Spears, Lindsay Lohan) and not to mention they are utterly ubiquitous and seen as being constructed by large media corporations. So I think it's a combination of that kind of cynicism plus being tired of seeing them everywhere.

Ahh, that makes sense now that I think of it. My sister would complain about how Hannah Montana was ubiquitous and you could find literally anything with her face on it.

Oh dear god, what?

At least that's not official, so it's not too surprising.

I actually remember seeing Hannah Montana batteries at a dollar store or something

I wonder what's the weirdest thing with Hannah Montana on it out there. The possibilities are seemingly endless.

That on the other hand is very appropriate.

Don't use the most recent revision. If you look at the Dolphin wiki, you should be able to find the game you want to emulate and near the bottom, you should get a bar that is partially green and a list of how the game plays for each revision. Grab one of the revisions you like and give it a shot.

Of course, it's all theoretical if your computer can't handle it.

The toilet paper thing isn't so odd because it's a generic "look, we can put this on everything" option.

This isn't that weird, but I found a Hannah Montana-themed iHome system. I think it's really sad that they have these things, though, since they kinda seem like something a kid would want to throw away after like two years when HM is passΓ© to even the tweens.

Ah, thanks, I guess I will have to try that when I get around to downloading the games again. But since I'm going away for two weeks, I'm probably not going to bother downloading them for a while (who knows, I might not even have internet in Chicago )
