I don't know how kosher it is to discuss these things among the people here, but here's a thread anyway. Bear in mind I already own original copies of any game I discuss here.
So anyway, I came back to Dolphin for no reason yesterday, I found that the latest builds (I'm running 4.0-5279 [link (https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/43036af944e706ac38821561c2f3333a500e63f6/)]) can run both Twilight Princess for GCN and SW Rogue Leader very smoothly on good hardware.
Rogue Leader has been problematic, and it's only in the last two months that they've got it going. It runs okaaaay on my humble laptop, if you can handle 50% speeds and borked audio. Keep in mind that the last time I tried Rogue Squadron on Project64 it still wouldn't run! That company had some weird game engine stuff going on.
Twilight Princess runs absolutely wonderfully. I've even had to frame limit the title to stop it clocking too fast. There were huge issues when the game had to process the rather large Hyrule Field, which got worse as the game progressed and more of it was unlocked. Now it's 30fps all day long. In whatever HD resolution you can muster!
It'll even do stereoscopic 3D, which I've tested briefly, in exchange for a big performance hit. Imagine that. Oh yeah, and I'm using a Dual Shock 4 to play them so it's fully like current-gen shit, bro.
I love emulators!
Anyway, onto some eye candy. And if you think these look just as good as you remember them on their native hardware, go dig out your Gamecube with its SD resolution and see what it looks like on an HDTV. I dare you!
