There’s a reason so many people are asking Testut how he managed it.
DOLPHIN EMULATOR GAMECUBE SOUNDS BAD TV
Plus, we’re really not sure how we would even tell you to go about installing Dolphin on your new Apple TV 4K. (Also, you’d probably have to use the Apple TV’s remote for gameplay, which doesn’t sound like the greatest experience.)
The Dolphin emulator can be installed on just about any computing device, and there’s plenty of dedicated third-party GameCube hardware out there if you want a prime emulation experience. There are much less expensive ways to emulate GameCube games, and with much less stress involved, too. The new chip, along with the rest of the TV’s innards, keeps emulation smoother than we ever could’ve hoped.īut should you try it at home? - Probably not.
DOLPHIN EMULATOR GAMECUBE SOUNDS BAD UPGRADE
The latest TV has an A12 Bionic chip - a significant upgrade from the prior model’s A10X Fusion chip. Previous versions of the Apple TV probably could’ve run some emulated games, too, but the new Apple TV 4K has gotten a pretty serious hardware upgrade, making the experience smoother than ever. Let’s put the how aside for a moment and just marvel at how well the GameCube runs on an Apple TV 4K. The answer to that is still a mystery Testut has yet to create a guide or answer these questions. Runner, Game Name, Run Description, Category 1, Category 2, Category 3, Category 4, Game Console, Status Comment. Thanks, Apple - The replies to Testut’s tweet are filled with people asking how he did it. To the inexperienced eye, this might not seem all that exciting - Double Dash!! was released nearly two decades ago, after all, so why should we be impressed that top-notch 2021 hardware can run such a game? But GameCube emulation is notoriously difficult, especially on Apple’s hardware, which is, well, pretty horrible at rendering any games at all, never mind resource-heavy ones. It might even be smoother than running the game on an actual GameCube. Testut tweeted a video this weekend of his Apple TV booting up Dolphin Emulator, a popular GameCube emulation app, and playing a game of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! with absolutely no lag whatsoever. The worst are 3d ones like Zelda, Super Mario Galaxy 2, etc. This discovery has been brought to our attention by Riley Testut, the creator of alternative iOS app store Alt Store. Using DSP LLE recompiler on Dolphin build 3.5-1031, the sound is pretty choppy in a lot of games.
