 Post subject: Widescreen emulation?

I don't see much discussion about emulation on these forums, but after playing some games in Dolphin and seeing how well some of it works I'm wondering what my options are. And while I'm certainly not opposed to blindly downloading and trying just about everything under the sun, I'm wondering if anyone has already done the footwork and can drop names of some games / emulators that would work well with a 3 screen horizontal setup. Smash Bros. Brawl with resolution cranked up and split across three screens really blew me away. Would love any help / suggestions the community might have here :)

Yeah thanks for the suggestions. I had managed to find those threads but they're a bit old and didn't have much discussion so I was hoping to stir up a little bit more conversation on the subject. So far I've been trying a lot of different Wii games on Dolphin. with varying levels of (mostly surprisingly good) success. Surprising to me how just the widescreen hack on Dolphin has many games running as well as or better than many of the dedicated PC games I've seen mentioned and recommended here. Smash Bros. Brawl has been the most pleasant surprise I've had yet since putting together my new Eyefinity setup.

I agree, it would be very good to start up more on the emulation side.

Maybe make a couple of galleries or even a couple videos. I wanted to do this, but my computer cant run fraps like that.
I'm waiting on an upgrade.

Maybe once I can get Youtube working for me in Eyefinity I'll download fraps and give this a try.
