Hey guys, this isn't a major issue, but it is worse than other games I've played with Dolphin. I'm used to experiencing minor hangups on emulators, they aren't perfect after all, but with Wind Waker many scenes seem to pause for half a second every 10 seconds or so (during cutscenes) and depending on what I'm facing (outside of cutscenes). Normally gameplay is fine around 30-40fps, but these hangups show it dropping dramatically very briefly before returning to their stable value. The audio is the most annoying part of this, it's constantly breaking up. I suppose I can live with this but it would be nice if there was something I could do to fix it! EDIT: I should also mention the problem is much worse in full screen! EDIT 2: It gets worse the longer I've been playing! It takes less than a minute before it becomes noticeable.
Specs for convenience:
CPU: Intel Core i7 3630QM @ ~2.4GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M
RAM: 16GB
Dolphin: 4.0-7084
Not sure what graphics and config settings matter so lmk which you might be curious about. I'm using the AR code for widescreen instead of the widescreen hack. OpenGL backend, internal res set to Auto (multiple of original), AA=8x, Filtering=16x, Per Pixel Lighting on, Force Texture Filtering on. HLE audio, XAudio2.
I'm using custom textures, but I'm not prefetching them to RAM. I tried doing that and the problem didn't seem to change much, if anything it may have worsened. Is it possible my RAM is just slowing down from wear and tear? Had this laptop for a few years now.
