Seriously?

I'll start off with what should be the obvious - Dolphin runs Gamecube and Wii games. Not only does it run said games, but it runs them INCREDIBLY well. Much better than it did a year ago, and arguably better than the consoles run the games itself.

Hell, running some games at 4x resolution will get better performance than the consoles would at their default resolution. That's insane.

That's 1080p and 60fps. Yes, there are some dropped frames but that's a given seeing how he's recording. It's still WAY higher than the Wii generally runs games - I don't even think the Wii plays games in 720p even (stretching the image doesn't really count here).

Anyways, this is a great example of how having a project like this being open sourced can help development. Dolphin is a great emulator and you can't deny that.
