i have seen some people call fullspeed 30 fps and others call it 60 fps so are these both fullspeeds?

so some games are suppose to run at 30fps that makes more sense now. but why do some run at 30 and others at 60

Some games are more demanding than others

A more appropriate explanation: The developers chose to make it run at that framerate. Developers get to choose whether they want to have their game run at a higher framerate or have more processing power available per frame (and thus deliver better graphics).

ExtremeDude2 is still technically correct I just think that's a better way of framing the situation.

And to clarify even more: by "developers", he means the actual Nintendo game developers, not the Dolphin emulator developers.
