Hey all.
I've been using Dolphin 5.0 to play through some Fire Emblem, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. PoR was played through to completion and successfully transferred on into RD. I've played through up until the end of Part 2/start of Part 3 ish? With no problems. Everything was A-OK, fantastic, not so much as a blip. The start of the next chapter was playing fine, too, but I called it quits--
Up until I went to play again a month later, and it was... Not really playable in the slightest. Frames/VPS start off fine in the game intro (where they're warning about the wiimote stuff), but as soon as sound is introduced it all drops like a stone. Everything stutters and slows to a crawl.
Upon testing, I've found that this happens with both PoR and RD. I've also tested them on Dolphin 4.0.2 and the same effect occurs.
I don't remember messing with any settings and, as far as I can tell, my updates should be current. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling dolphin, too. I've glanced at the first 5 and last 5 pages of the RD thread in these forums but didn't find much luck.
I'm hesitant to mess with settings given it was all working Just Fine beforehand -- I'm mostly wondering if anyone knows of similar occurrences happening of late, or if there's anything that could have inadvertently changed? My apologies, tech isn't my forte so I'm just... puzzled as to why it was working perfectly fine and now it's anything but;; Thank you for your time and patience.
