#SONIC HEROES EMULATOR MAC ISO#
So I was doing some science on dolphin looking for visual cues attempting to make more doable a specific boost in Frog Forest for Team Dark and for it I decided to use the Dolphin Memory Engine, that for those unfamiliar, is a complementary application similar to Cheat Engine that using a specific file for the Sonic Heroes ISO allows you to display some very useful info such as speed, position, etc in the current gameplay.Īllowing usage of emulator for the leaderboards is a very good initiative in my opinion considering how hard is to get the original hardware nowadays (and how harder it will become eventually) and it's being taken carefully giving priority to guarantee fair and legit competition. Kokunsderp Kokunsderp, NachoTheAdventurer NachoTheAdventurer and 2 others If anyone else has any other points of discussion, please do post them. I do not have the spare time (or tbh, motivation as I'd still like most people to run on actual hardware) to look into stuff like this, so I'd appreciate your help in this. Obviously all mods/cheat codes will not be allowed, but it's important for the main game to run as correctly as possible. Any known differences in physics and if there are any, whether they impact the run at all. Are there performance differences between different builds of Dolphin? This is important to know in case we'd need to regulate specific builds that we know work well.Ĥ. Also makes it even easier to spot performance issues. The "Input frame/total" counter shows whether a recording is playing or not. To more easily detect pre-recording with save states or submitting TASes, I personally think it'd be wise to include the window bar of Dolphin in the game capture. Does emulator load faster? And if yes, does this loading effect the loading speed of the score screens as well, which would effect IGT? The results of this test would show which timing methods emulator would be on equal footing for, if any at all.Ģ. This will mostly be focussed on the Dolphin emulator, but if there are any other options that I'm unaware of, do bring them up if you think they're viable.ġ.
Some of these require thorough testing and I'd like this thread to be the hub for posting said tests. There are a few points that I think are important to consider before allowing emulation.
#SONIC HEROES EMULATOR MAC MODS#
The other mods and I are not not promising anything as of yet (I'll start the discussion with the other mods based on the results of this thread), but let's at least open up the discussion.
Hey folks! I know there are a bunch of you that'd like emulator to be allowed for this game.
