Ok so ive been trying to get battle for Bikini Bottom to run on my system at full speed. Ive tried changing the res, using aggressive speed hacks everything. It refuses to break the 40FPS barrier. Considering the recommended CPU on the dolphin wiki page is a 3.2GHZ Core2Duo i'm thinking i HAVE to have configured it wrong.
System 1:
Windows XP Professional SP3 x86
Core2Duo E8400 @ 3GHZ
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX 768MB
4GB 800MHZ Crucial DDR2
SoundMax HD Audio
Naturally ive tried it with no hacks, and all applicable to dual core hacks. Ive used OpenGL backend for all tests since that the best performaing on that machine.
Was able to get it to average 40FPS. So i only need to boost performance by around 30 percent here.
System 2:
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Core2Quad Q8300 @ 2.5GHZ
NVIDIA GeForce 750TI 2GB Hyper-clocked
4GB 667MHZ PNY Optima DDR2
Realtek HD Audio
Same situation, tried it with and without hacks, and with both the Direct3D 11 and OpenGL Back end. Ive also tried multi-threading hacks. Managed to coax it into an average 30FPS which is half what i need. I was going to try the OpenCL Texture decoder since theoritically my large number of cuda cores would make this the ideal setup but it crashed Dolphin on this system.
This game isnt exactly the most demanding out there. Have i configured the emulator in a horrible manor or something? I should be able to handle these fine given that i almost match the recommended requirements on the wiki. Both these builds are modified Dell Optiplexs BTW so overclocking isnt an option. Essentially i need to double my performance, not sure how realisitc of a goal that is but it seems to me my systems arent performing as they should.
