Super Mario Sunshine

Pegasus69 · November 26th, 2008

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I have been searching and searching for a solution across multiple forums and Google. How can I get Super Mario Sunshine to run faster? I have tried Dolphin Beta 3 (64) and Dolphin 1.03 Beta and I can't get more than 5 fps if I'm lucky. The 64 version won't even run the game at all. My CPU:

Windows XP 64 bit Service Pack 2
AMD Opteron Quad Core 2.0 GHz
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT

You need to download a newer Dolphin revision, Beta 1.03 is very old.

Where can I download one?

50CALBR · November 26th, 2008

DolphinWx - Windows Live SkyDrive

Rev 1299 is the fastest for SMS I have found so far.

I have also read that, but the latest one on the list is 1292.

Edit: I just tested the 1292 version and it works great! Though, I do get some very strange textures at times, but I'm happy just to be able to play it (pink and yellow Mario or not). Thank you so much for your help!

Then just search man! In the SVN discussion thread alone you'll find at least 3 signatures in a single page (sometimes more) where members offer their most recent compilations.

It is not supposed to be like that. The graphic is nearly perfect. Maybe your video card need update or something. What card do you have ?

Strange. Same here but mine is fine.

Maybe you should update it. Make sure you update to 180.48 November 19, 2008.

And make sure you are using the OGL plugin.

Or read the actual helpful FAQ first :P

jasong · November 27th, 2008

I think you might be using DX9 plugin. Switch to OpenGL and it should be better.

Kakaru · February 6th, 2009

How does this run in the most recent revision?

jasong · February 6th, 2009

It runs great. Full speed for me. Although I seem to have lost my progress because it won't save where I was.

mono · February 11th, 2009

For me works very well XP (50fps-30fps)

jasong · February 11th, 2009

One level where you're racing on the back of a squid, you have to turn off dual core/idle skip to beat the level because the clock goes too fast.

John Peterson · July 9th, 2009

Since this thread is listed as the official thread for Super Mario Sunshine (since I put it there, perhaps because I didn't find a better thread) I'm posting this here:

I've checked the internal analog stick configuration of this game and it's between 20 and 65 (of 128) in all directions for running (and probably for aiming too) so if you want the full physical range of your gamepad to be similar to this you can set the new Radius setting in nJoy to perhaps 60%. This will especially help when precision walking or aiming is required. It may also be more convenient at most times since if the Radius setting is at 100% you will give the game a maximum analog stick reading when you are only at half the physical range of your gamepad.
