#max settings

First test screenshot on the new computer.  So smoov. Huge improvement over the somewhat grainy laptop, and even over the old desktop. This thing purrs at maximum settings and tops out at 90 fps in Ul’dah, as opposed to 15fps with a little strain.

Here's Sonic and the Secret Rings with all of the emulator enhancements cranked to max. Well, sort of. Here's everything that's going on in this video:

- 4K Rendering (2160p) - 60fps (game normally runs at 30fps) - 16x Anisotropic filtering - 8x Super Sampling - Per-pixel lighting - Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, with Screen Space Global Illumination - Scene Tonemapping - Added lightbloom - Texture sharpening - Increased pixel vibrance - "Natural Vision" adjustment (to account for added brightness thanks to lightbloom)

A lot of this is done thanks to a special version of the Dolphin Emulator called Ishiiruka, which can be downloaded here: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-unofficial-ishiiruka-dolphin-custom-version

In this video I am using Ishiiruka version 1053, but I have not updated in a while.

Here's an Imgur album showing all of my IshiirukaFX settings: https://imgur.com/a/ItMyhNI

I also have this set up to play Sonic & The Secret Rings without needing to use motion control. An Imgur Album showing how my buttons are remapped can be seen here: https://imgur.com/a/F30lqhY

Using an Xbox controller, this puts Jump on the A button, Brake on the X button, you do a Homing Attack with the right trigger, and you back up using the left trigger. Speed Break and Time Break are on the d-pad.

The one downside to this setup is that catapults are difficult to use. They still work, as you can see in the video, but they do not work consistently. With my setup, I have to alternate between tapping the Left and Right triggers until the catapult eventually launches Sonic. As far as I can tell, there's no perfect way to handle this, as mapping what would be the "accurate" swings/tilts/shakes doesn't seem to actually work. Trust me, I've spent over an hour trying different things out, and it just doesn't work the way you'd want it to (you can see in the album I actually tried to map swings to the right stick to no avail). I am by no means an expert, however, so if anyone knows a 100% consistent way to make it work, I'd love to hear it.

Also, I think the overlapping dialog is a bug caused by the 60fps patch. You can find the 60fps code on the Dolphin wiki: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Sonic_and_the_Secret_Rings

Found out that you can bind the HUD to a key, once that happened, Screenshots occured. 

I always loved Cyrodiil, Its my favorite area to date. 

Zenimax did a great job recreating the Anvil area, it looks identical to Oblivion's, Just 100 times better looking.

I am still blow away by the graphics in this game, the animations and the detail are so much better than Skyrims.
