Gamecube emulation is getting pretty quick

If you have a 64-bit CPU and OS, you can try out the latest version of Dolphin.

In any case, Dolphin in 64-bit dual core mode now also does 25-30 fps in Wind Waker on some Core 2 Duo monster machines.. 13-15 on my 3800+ X2.

Of course, it's high level emulation, so the games can natively draw at way higher resolutions.

Wonder if we'll see Wii emulation in a few years. This is pretty awesome; I wouldn't mind playing RE4 looking like this a few years down the line.

Any word on AMD dual core performance?

Hrm, and I just bought a core 2 duo.

wow! That looks amazing! I have an AMD dual core cpu (Opteron 165 which I think is somewhat comparable to a X2 3800) but not a 64bit OS.

I hope they put in support for 32bit XP and with some folks creating Wiimote drivers for Windows it looks like Wii emulation could be a reality in a few years. Really fantastic stuff there.
