Any tips to help get a few more fps.

So I just wanted to know if anyone could give me some tips on getting a few more fps in Zelda Wind Waker.

Is there anything I can do in windows that would help.

Like would the "Adjust for best performance" in windows help or is that just silly.

Any tips would be great.

Here are my Dolphin settings also

Hm, do you use the newest development builds with DSP-HLE?

Everything else seems to be fine. And ZWW should run pretty well on your system.

Thanks for the reply.

I use 5.0-rc-27 with DSP-HLE

I can get 30fps but there are just those few times during gameplay that the fps drops to around 24fps. It's usually when there's alot of things happening during gameplay. I'm not sure if that's a limitation of an imperfect emulator or something on my end.

About changing things in windows, does anything help or is it pointless.

It's maybe your GPU. The intel one isn't that good :/

Make sure your power profile in windows is set to High Performance.

Are you being thermally throttled?

True but I don't have £££ to upgrade yet.

It is

I'm not sure what thermal throttle is, How would I check.

That means your CPU is getting too hot and is restricting clock speed to bring down temps.

I think you can use throttlestop to check this.

So what exactly am I looking for and what should I do with this throttlestop program.

Check out the Laptop performance guide that's somewhere on this forums, it'll tell you all you need to know about throttlestop.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the guide.
