Adding user-defined Consoles. #70

Closed Bagoush closed 10 years ago

Bagoush commented 11 years ago

Dolphin supports gamecube and wii games, is there any way to add a wii folder to the roms and config to allow it to work?

Available Emulators: Dolphin Wii=Dolphin to allow wii games too?

It would be a great since it already uses the same emulator. Bsnes lets you emulate GBA GB GBC NES SNES and DS. if it makes your work easier for only needing one emulator. But being so close! All you need is

Ds - bsnes, DeSmuME, or NO$GBA Psp - PPSSPP Dreamcast - NullDc Wii - Dolphin

And you'll have an emulator for every available console!

Thanks for the great work :)

Dolphin for Wii games is planned (see #22)

I had been planning on letting you use custom emulators for systems (emulators that you already have and have installed), but I hadnt thought of letting them add systems themselves. That is a really good idea. I will use this issue to track the progress of the feature, and use #71 to track the custom emulators.

There aren't that many emulators, maybe 3-4 for each system. During the first install you could let users pick which consoles they want and what emulators to use, or a simple install of all the consoles with the best all around emulator, a simple or custom choice for users. And the ability to change your emulator later if yours is broke, or just want a different one to try. Also when choosing your emulator for each, an option to input a path to an emulator you already have installed, something like "choose emulator to install, or path to current emulator".

Here's a list of the best Emulators to focus around.

*Default means the best choice for simple installing, most updated, highest rating, easiest to use, and best at running games Nintendo

GB - Default- Bsnes, Visual Boy Advance, NO$GBA GBC - Default- Bsnes, Visual Boy Advance, NO$GBA GBA - Default- Bsnes, Visual Boy Advance, NO$GBA Nes - Default- Bsnes, Jnes, Nestopia, FCEUX Snes - Default- Bsnes, Snes9x, ZSNES,

N64 - Default- Project64, 1964, UltraHLE Virtual Boy - Default- vbjin, Red Dragon

GameCube - Default- Dolphin, Dolwin, WhineCube Wii - Default- Dolphin

                       Handheld

Ds - - Default- DeSmuME, NO$GBA PSP - Default- PPSSPP, PCSP, Jpcsp 

                         Sony

PS1 - Default- ePSXe, PSX, PCSX-Reloaded, PS2 - Default- PCSX2, PS2emu 

                           Sega

Dreamcast - Default- NullDc, Chankast, DEmul, DreamEMU Saturn - Default- SSF, Satourne,

Genesis - Default- Fusion, GensPlus Game Gear - Default- Fusion, GensPlus Master system - Default- Fusion, GensPlus

Optional/Future emulators Xbox - Xeon Ps3 - rpcs3 Android - BlueStacks iOS - iEmu

Grouped the Emulators that work for multiple consoles in the same groups.

Im not sure why I just spent an hour just listing all the best emulators around, I guess I really just like your program and see it being a big use, especially when Steam boxes start rolling out!
