Today, I compiled the Dolphin Emulator from SVN (version 5802) in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04).  To my surprise, Star Fox Adventures now runs flawlessly in Dolphin (it wouldn't even start before).

This opens a lot of new possibilities, such as getting HD versions of the Star Fox Adventures cutscenes.

Unfortunately, my laptop is not nearly fast enough to emulate the game at anything near normal speed (it runs at about 10% speed), but, it is still somewhat playable.  It took a long time, but I was able to get to Krazoa Palace and save.  No glitches whatsoever (other than audio lagging behind because of the slow framerates, it should fine if the game can run at 100%).  I expect the rest of the game should work fine too.  I have been able to run the game at 720p with widescreen and anti-aliasing (albeit at about 5% speed) - it looks absolutely beautiful.

Although my laptop is not currently fast enough, I will be building a PC in a few weeks that should be able to play the game at 100% at 1080p with full 8X anti-aliasing - then, I will attempt to record a few of the cutscenes from the game in 1080p.

I've attached two screenshots.  When I build my computer in a week or two, I'll try to record a few of the cutscenes in 1080p.

What is this? I don't even...

[Professor Exabyte]

what do you mean?

do you not know what exactly an emulator does?

an emulator is an software what convert the computing process of the gamecube so you can play the game on the pc. with some inconvinience for the performance :P

So, this idea to rerecord all the cutscenes in HD, did that ever happen? I see some people wanted to, but had to wait for one thing or another. I expect that if the project was completed, there would be an announcement somewhere, but I haven't seen such a thing yet.

I really wanted to do that but each upload is like um 177MB or something i am a bit lazy on recording all of them so yeah i have only done like 3 of them

If you want to see some of them here is it

1 , 2

Well, I just haven't had time to finish it.  It's time consuming work and I haven't had any time to make any new recordings.

Next summer I should have time.  But, I know for a fact I won't have time to do it during the school year.

Just so everyone knows, I haven't forgotten.  I just don't have time.

Alright then, seems that other priorities have gotten in the way of this project. Such is life.

I have the game, I have the computer, and I seem to have the time. I'll see what I can do to move this quest forward myself. Wish me luck!

Awesome.  Good luck!

And if you come across a way to extract and upload Dolphin saves for various points in the game, please do!

If you want to know where dolphin save their files it 's here

Progress is good on SFHD. Here's a frame from the last video. Falco makes for a Derp Photobomb!

As for the saved games, here, I used the US version of SFAd:

That's awesome!  Great work!  Especially the save games, THANK YOU! 

EDIT:  Just tried the save files.  They work perfectly.  Thank you so much.  Just for the future, here's a mirror for those saves: http://www.mediafire.com/?wctcm4mceaotk8f

EDIT2: The game runs so much better on the new Dolphin builds.  It may be possible to capture stuff in real time now.  For a while there, the builds were not even suitable for running the game.  The DirectX plugin didn't have anti-aliasing, and the OpenGL plugin was crashing and glitching; but everything works great now.

Here's the Dolphin build I just tested it on: http://www.mediafire.com/?e6ttnaea5a92ht1

For anyone who wants to try it out, there are daily Dolphin builds available here: http://www.dolphin-emulator.com/download.html

EDIT3: There's still lag sometimes, but I still think it's quite an improvement from when I tried this originally.  It looked to me like the video plugin has significantly changed for the better.  So that might be it.

I am trying this out in a VM and it's running smoothly just like running on a normal PC I did try running it on 2560X1600 but getting less than 4 FPS

on the other hand running it on a normal PC are quite smooth but there ate still a lot of lag for me
