The “make your own emulator” was a somewhat snarky way to say that what you’re saying isn’t the same approach that the Dolphin devs take, and that their approach has taken them very far. Yes, the things you said might not be met, which is why it isn’t already fixed. But you seem to be advocating for leaving things unfixed just because it’s unlikely that other games use them. My point is that attempting to fix inaccuracies even if they seem unimportant can often lead to other games being fixed and there have been many examples of this. If the bugs can only be fixed with cycle accurate emulation, then sure, you might have to leave them, but the attitude of “most games probably don’t rely on this so let’s not fix it” will only get you so far and to get the compatibility they have Dolphin had to take a more accurate approach. Of course, it makes sense to fix the things that more games use first

> The “make your own emulator” was a somewhat snarky way to say that what you’re saying isn’t the same approach that the Dolphin devs take, and that their approach has taken them very far. You still seem to be under the impression that I'm somehow arguing for Dolphin to change their development model, or something like that. Why do you think so? > Yes, the things you said might not be met, which is why it isn’t already fixed. But you seem to be advocating for leaving things unfixed just because it’s unlikely that other games use them. I have not once done so. Literally, all I've argued for is "fixing the problems these games will have will not necessarily make the emulator better". You seem to acknowledge this given that you agree the three points I've mentioned aren't shown. So what exactly are you trying to argue about? Why are you trying to paint me like I'm telling anyone to change their development model? You're jumping between acknowledging that Dolphin isn't cycle-accurate and not everything will be 100% accurate, and "But if they fix this it will improve other games!". No, it might, but it might also not. You have to show that it does if you want to argue against my point, because it literally is: it's not guaranteed to improve things beyond these three games".
