New Portfolio

Thursday, January 21st, 2010 @ 8:10pm

A few days ago I revamped and relaunched my portfolio. The new site is now built upon WordPress and should help expand the type of content I put on the site. The new launch also includes a blog which will be completely separate from this blog. For friends & family, don’t worry; this blog is sticking around. I’ll be able to post about mumbo-jumbo like “jquery, javascript, css, php” over on my portfolio’s blog while keeping this one on things I find purely interesting (and non portfolio related).

If you have any remote interest in web design, or the things I post over on my portfolio, please feel free to add my portfolio’s feed to your favorite RSS reader.

Dolphin Emulator @ 720p

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 @ 11:45pm

I’d tried the Dolphin emulator a while back, but wasn’t able to get it configured to run somewhat smoothly until recently. I finally have some decent screenshots of what Nintendo Wii games could look like in 720p (click on the images for the full image).

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

I was able to get NSMB Wii running at a somewhat consistent rate, usually around 40-50 fps. NSMB appears to be a good game to start with, since it is supposed to run pretty well on most any system with at least a 2 Ghz processor.

I tried a few other games, but didn’t have much success. Little King’s Story had graphical glitches galore, Super Mario Galaxy looked fantastic, but ran slow (i.e. 5-15 fps), and Mario Kart Wii did run, but had a few glitches and was a sub-par frame rate for a racing game (20-30 fps).

First Person Tetris

If you’re of the queasy persuasion, this game may not be for you. A rather interesting “spin” on the old classic if you’re up for the challenge!
