That won't just improve emulation, but will improve your system performance in EVERY game, and across the board in almost every other app you could use as well.

Oh rly? In WoW I had an increase of 10fps in Vista over XP and in numerous other games it's practically equal. Gaming in Vista isn't an issue at all if your hardware is up for it, and especially in case things don't end up eating 100% of your cpu nor 100% of your RAM you're going to be getting practically no difference between XP and Vista.

And well yeh, Dolphin is exactly one of those things. 80% of usage on one core, 20% on another. And barely uses any of the available RAM. So all in all plenty left, no need to downgrade as it's going to have practically no effect on emulation nor general performance.

What do you mean by freezing? You are able to see the title screen, or just a black screen? Which plugins are you using with Dolphin? Are you using the Dual Core option or not?

Please give us a detailed description, let us know about those things and we'll kindly try to provide you a solution (and by "we" I mean myself and the voices in my head (?) )

when i first open zelda tp, it seems to be working great, 130 FPS, but then as soon as I get to the title scren I see Zelda, and the FPS drops to like... 3 FPS and freezes... doesn't do anything after that, nada, zippa. & to answer your question about the dual core option... i don't know where that option is, where is it located? the plug-ins i am using are, DSPPlugin.dll, DVDPlugin.dll, nJoy_DSL.dll, PadPlugin2.dll, plugin compiler.dll, and finally, VideoPlugin.dll. That's whta my plugin folder reads.

Dual core is in Emulation menu inside Dolphin. It should be checked. btw, Zelda TP doesnt work yet. it will crash.

Great, I know what's wrong, then. The same thing happened to me xD

- You want to set the OpenGL plugin to play this one (it's actually running slow, but at least you'll get through the title screen and get ingame) so you should go whenever you open Dolphin, to the Plugins option on top, and click on "choose plugins..." If you use the DX9 one, you'll get graphic errors everywhere, so it's not advised =P

Next you want to DISABLE (that's right) the Dual Core option in the Emulation Menu. (it's an option below "Fullscreen" that says "Dual Core (unstable!) ) uncheck it and Twilight Princess will get through the title screen. It's the only game I know that needs the Dual Core option disabled, so remember to enable it whenever you want to play another game.

Hope that helps.

If you want to play this badly.. go and play it on Beta 3 because I did and I defeated my very first boss.. Diababa so everything seem pretty good to go. I don't know if it can continue to the next level. I am working on it to see how far this Beta 3 can go... So far, nothing's wrong right now.

What fps do you get mostly on TP rockman? Average? Thanks.

how do you "set" the Open GL plugin? what do you mean by that? i am using the DX9 one right now, do i need to get the OpenGL plugin from somewhere? also, under the emulation menu all i see is, run, pause, stop and use dynarec. i cannot find where it says fullscreen or dual core (unstable!) there's nothing there like that at all.

okay it is not freezing anymore, but the fps is going very very slow. i thought it was frozen at the title screen but after a minute of waiting and pausing it then unpausing it the game began to work, but very slow. i still cannot find that dual core option though....

What version of Dolphin are you using?

Either

- You installed Vista on 9 year old systems
- You can't use a computer.


To suggest XP x64 is incredibly stupid, as there are FEWER drivers that support it, and this trend will continue.

Also I have a dual-boot XP/Vista machine and my Vista boots faster, and I get excellent speeds in dolphin (some games even run too fast).

Well, depend... inside the house...about 24 fps...outside could be between 11-23 fps depending on where you are.. crowd people or something like that. It is between 11-23 fps, yeah.

No need for name calling. Yes, there are many missing drivers for XP x64, but have you used it? It is FAST! My experience with Vista has largely been OEM installs loaded with crap, I will mention that as caveat, but that does not change the fact that I have NEVER seen a Vista machine run even half as fast as an XP machine with the same hardware for ANY application.

And your opinion is really only valid if you HAVE TRIED XP x64, as that is what I am most specifically talking about.

Sorry if it sounded like name calling.

I had XP x64, before I decided to install Vista, because my printer did not have a stable x64 driver for XP.

Seriously though OEM bloatware is the worst kind, and that will seriously lag down a computer. Also even half as fast? Isn't that a little extreme? From my understand Vista is either 2-3fps slower, the same speed, or 2-3 fps faster, which must mean the OS has no real effect on speed, which is plausible because hardware accounts for speed, not OS. Don't install Vista and expect Dolphin to work, but install a 64 bit OS, Vista recommended because of more driver support, and get better speeds.

okay, i downloaded the one on top and it gave me a message as soon as i opened it saying, "PANIC" then underneath it says, "Failed to load plugin Plugins/Plugin_VideoDX9.dll - unknown error." i tried loading the .gcm file anyway and then gives me the error saying this, "PANIC", underneath that it says, "Failed to grab 1 GB of contagious memory! Do you have an antivirus program or any other program that injects itself into every process, consuming address space? Or simply a bad graphics driver? then underneath that it says, "Dolphin will handle this better in the future by falling back to slow memory emulation. For now, sorry, but it won't work. Try the 64 bit if you can."
