    I'm not convinced you have the CPU to run the game full speed. Emulation is tough, and you need to brute force your way to a stable framerate.

    What sort of CPU do you need?

    You're going to have a hard time with the framerate my friend.

    What sort of CPU do you need for it? I currently have an i7 920.

    Then you're not going to have a hard time with the framerate lol.

    I read a few threads on emulating that game. The only downside is that you need a motion plus, a nuncuck, a sensor bar, and a blue tooth thing for the controller... It's too much of a hassle to even set up for me.

    I made a joke about going to a torrent site last year and a mod pounced on me like a cougar in Red Dead Redemption yet this entire thread has existed for half a day.

    The joy of emulation compared to pirating. I guess there's a discourse of information.

    Well, I'm paying for the game, controller, wireless sensor bar and bluetooth dongle so its not like I'm just getting the game for free.

    Oh, I personally don't have any problem with emulation of games that you've purchased but that doesn't make it any less illegal to torrent the game because I doubt he is playing the game off of the disc.

    It still isn't legal dude.

    It's legal if you own the game and whatever system it's on. If you dont own the system then ya it still isn't legal.

    Even though this particular tale has been told for over twenty years now, I am still not convinced that this is actually true. I would guess that it is still illegal no matter how many copies of the game you own for other systems.

    There is some weird texture thing going on in the background. It is barley noticeable but I am trying to figure out how to fix it. I maxed out AF and AA and it still hovers around 25-30 fps.

    @NekuSakuraba: Don't know if this was answered somewhere in the later pages, but the Sensor Bar is just 2 IR lights, its not actually a device or anything. The camera is in the Wii remote, so as long as you connect the Wii Remote to the PC and turn the Sensor Bar on, it'll work. Usually you just turn your Wii on so the sensor bar is powered. 
     
    You could also use 2 candles, or 2 of any other light source =P Christmas trees really fuck up Wii remotes too haha.

    @DG991: I don't really see what you're referring to. The depth of field? The ghosting?

    As far as I know, there's no fix for the ghosting yet.

    @Bevinsky: Maybe it is the depth of field. I don't see any ghosting.

    Also occasionally the music loops in weird places.

    Playable though. I can complete the entire game. Haven't done so yet.
