Actually, technically speaking, the Wii has a hardware renderer which dolphin emulates, so unlike sprites which can still only be upscaled, 3d models can be rendered in proper HD resolution.Jacobeian said:technically speaking, the resolution of games does not change at all, they have been coded for the Wii limitation (720x480), it's just that the emulator can eventually interpolate it to higher resolutions screen, pretty much like DVD upscaling stuff... so it "seems" it's at higher resolution but it doesn't.
honestly, this is the only thing that could make dolphin > wii but nothing more, the emulator is not going to emulate more RAM than the Wii originally had or run at higher CPU speed because it's not its role and because there is no point in doing that since the games have not been developped to support it...
The other things that could make emulators > Wii are useful "features" that does not exist like realtime saves, fast-forwarding, video recording, etc ... but it applies to every emulators, not only Dolphin and the Wii.

yeah. why spend so much on a PC just to emulate the wii while you could buy the real thing at a cheaper price.lenitao said:no way
a PC that can run Wii games at full speed is definitely more expensive than Wii
also, no online and many great games run slow...
