Binding Dolphin to 2 cores Issue

[LReyomeXX]

I tried using imagecfg to bind Dolphin to my first 2 cores using the command line

• imagecfg -a 0x05 (Also tried 0x5) "C:\Games\Emulators\GameCube\Dolphin 3.0 x64\Dolphin.exe"
  

which would have binded it to physical cores 1 and 2 (identified as CPU0 (0x1) and CPU2 (0x4)on here), only to get the error message

"IMAGECFG: Unable to update configuration information in image."

Any reason why?

Maybe you need to enable "lock threads to cores" in Dolphin.

The reason I asked really, is because between the quad core and the hyperthreading, Dolphin is using all -8- cores when running

But they don't use them at their full capacity ? I mean, when you look at the performance monitor while playing, it doesn't indicate 100% on all cores, does it ?

It jumps from thread to thread. Dolphin only uses two threads at a time but only for a few nanoseconds at a time. Task manager shows you the AVERAGE usage of each thread over a much longer period of time.
