I have a few questions:

1. Do NTSC games run at 30 FPS while PAL games run at 25 FPS?

2. What is more desirable, NTSC or PAL? Why?

3. I have played Super Mario Sunshine with Dolphin, but it runs at 25 FPS. When I turn the Framelimit to 60 FPS, the game speeds up making it virtually impossible to play.

Is it possible to get higher than 25 FPS without also speeding the game up?

4. When I play the game, at the top of the Dolphin window is says FPS, VPS, and SPEED. FPS is self-explanatory, but what is VPS and what is SPEED?

When SPEED is at 100%, does that mean that the game is running at the "correct" speed?

5. I found a high-res texture pack for Super Mario Sunshine, but how do I install it?

Depending on the game
NTSC : 30 or 60 FPS
PAL : 25 or 50 FPS

In this case , anything more than 25FPS would be too fast for Super Mario Sunshine

Quote:What is more desirable, NTSC or PAL? Why?
NTSC has more FPS , charater movement and everything looks smoother . However...
PAL has less FPS . It should be easier to reach full speed on PAL version rather than NTSC

A little more info for knowledge seekers Wink PAL and NTSC are analogue signals which are mostly distinguishable by the electrical power generated for TVs in your region, if you country uses a 60 Hz power supply, your TV will be in NTSC and 50Hz for PAL, unless you use a voltage transformer of some sort. As Admin said NTSC has smoother frames than PAL due to the 5 fps difference. However they are all analogue signals and the world is moving to digital signal processing so we have ATSC and DVB-T replacing NTSC and PAL respectively.

Also most GC Games support PAL60, which should make the games play at 30/60FPS.

Sometimes the option in the games pops up, sometimes it doesn't, dunno why

Usually, but SPEED counter is not always 100% correct. Its based on VPS, I think it would be more correct if it would be beased on FPS.
VPS is speed of at which emulated cpu runs, FPS is speed at which emulated gpu runs

Thanks for all of the info guys. 5 FPS is noticeable to me.

On another note, I'm having trouble getting a high-res texture pack for Super Mario Sunshine to work. I put the GMSE01 folder in Dolphin\User\Load\Textures\, but no joy. Any ideas?
