I'm new. I test games.

If I do something wrong/stupid please tell me on my discussion page or right here, I don't care where.

If you want me to extensively test something specific just tell me and I will. Usually don't play wii since the library doesn't appeal to me (plus no wiimote), but if asked I'll do it. However I run Linux so I can only test OpenGL backend.

Currently I'm working on a little z80 interpreter of my own, but I do check the wiki and I try and contribute with the time I have available. I usually idle in #dolphin-emu (xerxespersrex) when I'm coding so you can always try highlighting me on there if you want to talk to me.

TODO
Obtain the following titles and do compatibility testing for them:
 * Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū 9 Chō Ketteiban
 * Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū 10 Chō Ketteiban
 * Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū 12 Chō Ketteiban (11 already found)


 * I've considered setting the missing Powerful Pro games all to 4 stars because the Cho Ketteiban versions are literally the exact same game on the same engine with a few new models and a stamp on the title screen. All 5 of the Powerful Pro games I played have the same text issue and otherwise play perfectly. But that feels dishonest to me, so I'm going to leave them on the TODO until I (hopefully) find copies of them somewhere.


 * Resident Evil Zero Trial Edition aka Biohazard Zero Trial Edition


 * Biohazard Zero Trial Edition is out there and apparently not that hard to find but I can't afford to start spending $60 for a sealed copy of a demo disc that ultimately very few (if any) people will ever play in Dolphin.

Write more pages for the Virtual Console compatibility lists.


 * This is long term. A lot of these games have very little documentation (like Majin Tensei) so I have to make do with the information I have and piece the pages together from multiple sources. However with enough work I think that the Dolphin wiki could end up serving as a historical reference of all games released for the Gamecube/Wii by combining information from many sources in one place.

Get the microphone option working in Dolphin so I don't have to leave Densetsu no Quiz ou Ketteisen at 2 stars.


 * The game seems like it's 4 or 5 star rating but for some reason Dolphin won't compile with the microphone option, even when I have the dependencies, so I can't get ingame and I had to give it 2 stars. If you know a PortAudio package for Ubuntu that works and allows me to use a microphone please post on my discussion page or in my forum thread.


 * JMC has confirmed this game and the microphone's emulation in general work and the star rating has been changed to 4 (as of 2/16/15). I'll try getting the mic to work again soon myself when I have the free time and do another test for it.
