How to Make Dolphin Faster??? (HELP!)

pezrul3z · May 17th, 2009

well the req's at minimun are 2.00 GHZ processor and 256 MB of ram as far as i know. my Laptop specs:

Windows Vista
AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology 1.80 gHz processor
ATI Radeon Express 200M Graphics Card.

well im using the direct3D9 plugin,and the Dolphin DSP-NULL plugin. I enabled dual core and idle skipping.

well when i run DDR: Mario Mix it runs around 60 FPS,then when i actually play the game it goes to only 14 FPS??? WTF? I can get more FPS in Pcsx2 and that requires a great comp.

anyone know what I can do to make the gameplay faster? What's the best dolphin emu version?Im using Dolphin SVN R 1546 btw.

PS:I dont care if i have to turn off sound to play it good, i just want it to play it decently.

thanks

Firstly you do need a better computer. Secondly Dolphin performance is erratic at best so you will get erratic framerates no matter what you do. Zelda TP slows down to 5fps sometimes, and other times it's too fast.

you have such a crappy computer. That's why you aren't getting anywhere. Just play on your real wii.
