How to run dolphin little bit faster [Tutorial]

[ZuuZou]

I'm not sure, but i think that this work with vista too.

Ok Lets start:

1: Open notepad

2:Type there:

TASKKILL /IM EXPLORER.EXE /F
start /high /wait DolphinWX.exe
start explorer.exe

3: Save as

File Name: "Something ****".bat
Save as type: All files
Encoding: ANSI

4: Save it to your dolphin folder.

5: Run it and enjoy.

When i open the Dolphin with the .bat file my FPS is in 20 in the SSBM.

When i open normaly dolphin my FPS is 14-16 in the SSBM.

PS: Tell me if it helps and delete it if it sucks.

Edit: This tutorial works with the games too! Just change the: start /high /wait DolphinWX.exe To: start /high /wait "Gamename".exe

Update: If someone doesn't know what this does then ill tell u all. It shutdowns the Explorer (Desktop and My Computer) And launches the DolphinWX.exe on higher priority.

Update2: Don't ever turn off Svchost.exe If u do then u must restart the PC. So don't turn it off.

I think it gets a frame or two difference in Zelda WW. No difference in Mario Sunshine.

[1lost1]

to me vista x86 gets 1 fps in ZWW , 1 FPS SMS , 3 SMBM

[Zazz]

I got like an extra frame in SSBM

My friend got SSBM on the dolphin too and hes fps was something like 7 and when he uses this hes FPS is something like 13. So my point is that if u have good CPU and more than 2GB ram then this wont help so much.

Yeah If u want it to turn it off automatic and open automatic then just add it to the .bat file like this:

TASKKILL /IM EXPLORER.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM YahooWidgets.EXE /F
start /high /wait DolphinWX.exe
start explorer.exe
start YahooWidgets.exe

PS: Im not sure if it is named YahooWidgets.exe Check it with the Taskmanager.

mm can't get it to find yahoowidgets.exe. I can just do it manually though.

[ZuuZou]

Nice idea, doesn't bring anything here, because there are only 17 Threads running ^^
But in general it would be good to close every program, service and other threads that eat your processor...

Look the picture, you can do that.

and in your file: with your program name this is a example.

TASKKILL /IM EXPLORER.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM SIDEBAR.EXE /F
start /high /wait DolphinWX.exe
start explorer.exe
start sidebar "without .exe"

thanks, ZuuZou for the nice idea

btw, this task does not work properly, with nulldc emu , but in other emus, works well

you need to delete /high, for nulldc emu works properly, and inclusive without the /high in nulldc-emu i got more FPS. thanks.

however this a thread for dolphin-emu

i dont get why you shut down explorer. exe and then restarts it?
isn't it better just to run dolphin and then give it high priority using task manager...?

EDIT: yes i know start waits for the process to end but you know windows and start never worked all so great here...

Alright, good work ZuuZou! This new idea has helped me to gain a few more fps in most of my games(except Zelda: WW, which seems to have gotten only ~1 fps more). Regardless, this was a great thing you tried and thanks for sharing!

I do not understand this, either. If you want to run the emu just a bit faster, go offline and close down everything that is running on your PC except for Dolphin.

yes but, this is better idea.

I do not think a gain of 1fps warrants a thread and a tutorial.
