Talk:Configuration Guide

Quality Guide?
So we have this page describing settings for maximum performance. Should we add a page regarding settings for maximum graphics quality (AA, Antistropic, Resolution, Filtering, ...)? Kolano (talk) 18:16, 12 January 2014 (CET)
 * YES I'd love to see something like this. We can upload pics that will show various examples, like Anti-aliasing, resolution, and highlight performance impacts. In addition to this we could merge article DSP LLE to here as well. Oh, also add contents from these CPU Hierarchy Minimum Specs - video card Lucario (talk) 09:04, 11 March 2014 (CET)

Deletion Proposal
Recommended settings are already enabled by default in Dolphin emulator & it's preloaded with helpful dialogues. Nothing to see here. Lucario (talk) 06:57, 11 March 2014 (CET)
 * We know. Even though the fastest settings are just defaults, new users don't believe it. They insist that the defaults have to be bad and there has to be ways to speed the game up. It's crazy, but some people just have to see a "performance guide" before they'll believe something is actually faster. That's why this exists. - MaJoR (talk) 00:40, 18 April 2014 (CEST)
 * Also post twiddling settings it's good to have a guide to restore the defaults. Kolano (talk) 01:24, 18 April 2014 (CEST)
 * Makes sense. The first paragraph should be edited accordingly to what you've said earlier. Telling others that by using this guide even though they're already set as default is bit misleading and waste of their times. Lucario (talk) 01:51, 18 April 2014 (CEST)
 * Anyway, the guide is little bit bland. Why not we do something with previous topic above this? We can merge DSP LLE and other quality guides to here to make it more useful than just a guide how to reset back to default. Lucario (talk) 01:51, 18 April 2014 (CEST)
 * I'm against that. It's best to keep it separate and to the point. If you look at the history on the page, you'll note that there has been TONS of problems with people uploading random settings that make zero sense. It got so bad for so long it just had to be locked. Isolated like this, that can be contained here and leave the rest of the stuff open and available for editing, like what you did on the ripping guide. Besides, we tried merging. The Dolphin Manual fell through. Yes it's bland, yes it's kind of annoying to keep around (I have always said how much I hate this guide) but this really is the best option. - MaJoR (talk) 08:49, 18 April 2014 (CEST)
 * I agree with MaJoR. This guide is a mess, and there's no way of improving it (from my point of view). I prefer leaving this messy guide as it is now until something more appropriate is done (like finishing Dolphin Manual), no matter how long it takes... Jhonn (talk)

Err, bump? I think we should reeally get rid of this before 5.0. Most (if not all) the info present here is already baked in Dolphin's tooltips/config screens, not to mention it's not updated for a while, I see no point in maintaining this guide... - Jhonn (talk) 16:17, 30 January 2016 (CET)
 * That was what I was trying to say from the start. Though transforming this page into ELI5 quality guide with screenshots to show difference will be awesome, like what is Anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing, regarding issues with dualcore, etc., with the addition of "you should leave settings default for the most optimal performance".
