Hi all!
I'm trying to use FRAPS to record Animal Crossing GC. I have everything working very smoothly at 60 FPS, and no less than 95% Emulation speed. Even when I have FRAPS recording. However, during one scene (when the character gets off the train right at the beginning) The audio lags, causing the whole emulator to slow down. When I'm NOT using FRAPS, this part goes at 100%. When I am using fraps, it slows to around 60%.
Obviously, if I am trying to record, such a significant speed reduction is far from desirable. I have tried all the tweaks I can think of, changing the sampling rate in Dolphin and my computer. Have the audio bound to a core. Change / update my audio driver. Change the Audio Backend. Change FRAPS between Stereo and Multichannel...
Nothing works. I'd really love some help on this one. It seems the problem is there's too much noise going on and FRAPS is some how struggling to pick it all up, causing the lag. I'm not sure though.
Thanks for reading
EDIT: Specifically, it is the sounds the train makes. Either the chugging of the wheels or the "steam". It seems like those are definitely the culprit.
EDIT 2: After playing the game further, it seems like the game's music causes the emulator to lag as well
(It is amplified when recording. Plays around 88% no FRAPS, lower with FRAPS)
