Awesome! :D Also I can't imagine playing Wii games to be an enjoyable exprience as even my Radeon HD 7750 cannot run MKWii without slowdowns


Dolphin is all CPU and only a max of 2 threads. Do you have an AMD CPU?

You should be able run Dolphin on 1080p and even with some AA with 7750 if you have an intel Ivy Bridge or Haswell CPU. 

AMD CPUs aren't as lucky for this situation. 

Ah, looks like my Athlon X4 has been left out in the cold lol

Try some overclocks if you can!

I ran Dolphin on a Phenom II X4 965 pretty well back in the day...running at 4 GHZ :)

Nice! The question is, does it support the Sega network?

If you want something similar to this with doing little to no work, you should get a bunch of emulators for your phone, connect it to a TV, and then connect a Wii Remote + Classic Controller to the phone!

I guess that would work too, but having this more badass Dreamcast would make me feel much better..

Not to mention there are no fully functioning Dreamcast emulators on phones.

Did you make any videos and make a ton of money on youtube?


Haha. I didn't...but I work in online advertising and make quite a bit of money doing it, and there really is no way you could make a ton of money with a video like this.

100K+ views X $4-5 CPM/ 1000

$500 bucks maybe over few years

Yeah I've been thinking about this for a while. An element you need to consider is esthetics + cooling.

With some of my measurements I could probably cram a that MSI mini GTX 760 with an Intel i3 in to a SNES using PCIe risers and Zalman's CNPS8900 cooler, but cooling would still be a concern.

Falcon Northwest figured it out with their Tiki.  They got an i7 machine paired with a titan in what looks to be a case smaller than the PS4.

Case manufacturers need to start doing more with PCIe extenders.  You can make such small cases if you can just keep your GPU in a separate compartment.
