Emulator

I demand a launch GameCube Bios option still >.>

Awww :( Is there any restrictions inhibiting this from being brought to fruition, or do you guys just not see it as being viable? Launching a game from the Dolphin UI would would essentially be like turning on a Wii with the disc already inserted. Having to manually change the "default ISO" each time isn't really seamless or worth the effort. It, of course, would be optional. Gamecube already has the ability to run BIOS prior to the game in Dolphin.

It's not that it can't be done, and I don't see any reason it wouldn't be merged if it was done. I think it's just a matter of someone doing it.

JosJuice, yes, but there's a lot of manual work being done. It could be as simple as double clicking a game. Think of double clicking a game as turning on the Wii with the disc already inserted.

Since you already have to navigate the System Menu and launch the Disc Channel and everything, I don't think right-clicking a game and selecting Change Disc is that much extra work. But sure, there would be some sort of point in adding an option like that.

Also, being able to use Change Disc before emulation has started might be nice.

I just thought it'd be awesome to make Dolphin capable of seamlessly emulating the console experience. This option would more accurately emulate the Wii as a console in general. The actual Wii doesn't boot directly into games. It just doesn't feel right without launching it via the disk channel. Dolphin already is capable of running the BIOS for Gamecube prior to the game.

Anyway, I'm just tossing the idea out there. I don't want to annoy you guys witht this. Happy Holidays. :)

It's not an annoyance. It's just a matter of finding someone who wants to implement the feature. I see absolutely no reason it would be rejected on any basis if it didn't involve someone having to make it.

tl:dr - Need to find someone who wants to make a feature like this.

Maybe instead of default iso it can be a channel shortcut? (like mariokart channel but launches auctual game instead of section)

I'm willing to pay someone to implement this. I'm desperate to get the full Wii experience with Dolphin. It shouldn't be necesary to set the game as "default ISO", then launch the system menu as it's own entity. It should be an option to be as simple as launching the game.

I am interested in picking up this feature request, I will set up and give it a look
