I also added a wx debugging window for the OpenGL plugin. I connected it to the old console window that was in the plugin. Other than that it doesn't do anything at the moment but it could be useful to show all the current important information and parameter statuses and so on. Again there's a problem with wx windows collisions. Show() can't be used because then DLL_PROCESS_DETACH is called immediately after the window is opened, and if we open it with ShowModal() before we have loaded a game the main video window will be blocked. And we can't pass on any variables from a DllDebugger() that is called when Dolphin is started because the dll is reloaded and lose all variables sometime before a game is loaded. So we can't auto open the window that way. So I made the debugging window open as a game is loaded if it is enabled in the ini, the downside is that the ini setting will open the window even if we are not opening Dolphin with the -d flag. However, this will only affect people that have used the debugger at least once so in my opinion this is the most convenient solution. But feel free to come up with a better solution. Preferably some solution to how to use Show() and preventing DLL_PROCESS_DETACH to be called. git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@812 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e

System Requirements:
* Windows 2000 or higher. The Linux build is at least 80% done, it starts,
but won't run games yet. There's a bug somewhere.
* Fast CPU. Dual core a plus.
* Any reasonable modern GPU, support for pixel shaders 2.0 required.
New Features
* Interprets Action Replay codes
* Buggy framerate limiter, deactivated
* Full Xbox 360 Controller support, with rumble
Dolphin is a Gamecube emulator. It also has preliminary support for Wii and
Triforce emulation.
Gamecube compatibility is about the same as previous releases.
Wii compatibility is very low. Some games show their intro movies, that's it.
There is preliminary Wiimote emulation but it does not work yet.
We haven't worked on Dolphin for a long time, except for a short burst adding
the basic Wii support, and we don't think we will finish it, so we hereby
release it, in its current unfinished state, to the world.
Usage Notes
-----------
The GUI should be pretty much self-explanatory.
To attempt to boot Wii ISOs, you need the disc master key. It should be
called "masterkey.bin". Put it in the Wii subdirectory.
To use Action Replay codes, follow the examples in the Patches subdirectory.
Use + in front of a cheat name to activate it. The cheats can be named
anything.
Code Notes
----------
Dolphin is written in C++. It's compiled with Visual Studio 2005. An
installation of the DirectX SDK is required.
To tweak settings for the JIT/Dynarec, see Core/PowerPC/Jit64/JitCache.cpp,
in InitCache().
We have a scons build system set up, but if anyone wants to create an
automake solution, go ahead, we'd appreciate it.
We are looking for new source code maintainers.
