Sorry if I put this in the wrong thread topic, couldn't seem to find out which would be the best.
I know my CPU isn't very high end or anything (Intel Pentium Dual-core @ 2.60 GHz), but I think I remember being able to play Wind Waker around a year ago with the same cpu more smoothly than now. Now, whether or not I run on Medium-high settings or lowest possible settings that I can find, it seems to run a bit slow. I know people are going to say to upgrade my cpu, but please keep that at a minimum. I just want to know how to run this game better.
Things I currently do (Remember, GPU is way good enough):
*End unnecessary processes: (explorer.exe, realtek hd audio manager, search protocol host, desktop window manager) leaving nothing but dolphin and necessary processes for Windows 7 to run.
*I use JIT Recompiler (The emulator Engine)
*Frame limit set to auto
*Using DSP HLE emulation (Sound Engine)
*Under the properties of the game, I disabled both "Enable bounding box calculation" & "ZTP Hack
*This is where I may need help. Currently under graphics hacks and under embedded frame buffer, I have "Skip EFB access from cpu" unchecked, "Ignore format changes" checked, & the EFB copies go to texture with the texture cache being "fast" to the max.
*External Frame Buffer is disabled
*Have nothing checked under the advanced tab.
I can't overclock my cpu so that's not an option, and AT LEAST for a few months I can't get a new cpu because of some personal financial issues & debates.
If you can help, thanks.
If not, thanks for trying.
If you respond negatively, then you're a jerk. =)
Sorry if my grammar isn't perfect.
