*DSP-LLE is mentioned throughout the wiki, but there isn't a page to explain how to set it up. The procedure involved is far more complex then just enabling the option, and the only solution at present is an [http://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Brawl#Audio awkward note] in pages, directing users to a forum post that itself is not very clear. Having a dedicated page on the wiki about how to setup DSP-LLE is prudent. [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] 18:37, 30 July 2011 (CEST)

*Work out means of fixing issue requiring list pages to be split into multiple templates. This is due to use of the ratings template, the current Wiki server can't handle compiling the large number of templates used on the list pages.

**I think we might work around this by migrating most of the list page content into a bigger version of the ratings template. Then revise the ratings template to either output a detail of a requested game or a complete list of it's included games. Each list page would include the template in list mode, while each game page would include it (possibly a few times) to reference it's rating, genre, region details. I'm hoping that since each game page would only need to call the template a few times and the list list pages would display just a single template, such would enable a consolidated list for each platform. This would also ensure alignment with shared game details beyond rating.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 07:39, 4 April 2011 (CEST)

*DSP-LLE is recommended and not recommended at random throughout numerous pages with sound issues. Often, this is because many games have only minor sound problems with DSP-HLE, and it may not be worth it to take the performance hit. However, if the Config is setup to reflect a best possible set of options ignoring performance, then LLE should be listed. Should it be changed? [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] 18:37, 30 July 2011 (CEST)

**The current goal for the config sections is to provide settings that will provide problem free emulation. Performance/graphics improvements are not relevant as typically such are covered generically in the performance/config guides (though each of those could use updates). Each suggested config should also include a note regarding why such is being suggested. So the minor issues should be listed besides the suggestion to use LLE, but such should be kept brief with longer description in the Problems section. I'd like to avoid statements like "slower machines should user HLE" in the Problems section though, as such is an inexact statement and likely to skew over time (i.e. today's fast machine is tomorrow's slow one). I presume an intelligent user when presented with the specific issues addressed by use of LLE should be able to decide if it's worth taking the performance hit themselves.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 19:50, 30 July 2011 (CEST)
