Running under PS4 linux, not bad

Only some older builds are working fine, Im using 1107, newer versions are showing low fps, 2 or 1 ¿Can someone explain why?

Because the PS4 isn´t enough to emulate GC/Wii games.

Watch the video... PS4 is running WII and gamecube games....

Is it running at full speed? No, it´s not.

The only section I saw full speed was in the cinematic. Everything else lags like crazy.

It even showed wrong graphics in one transition (after selecting a save).

Another fact: its processor is based on the low-power Jaguar microarchitecture.

damn man, I know all what are you saying... you are beating around the bushes.

I hope someone can answer my question without stupid thoughts

Note that in the original showcasing of the PS4 running Wind Waker, it was in the duel room with Orca. A single empty room. That's a lot easier to render than a world! Regardless of what happens, full performance is unlikely.

Please bisect to the build where it slows down, so we can get an idea of what's going on.

That´s not a stupid thought. That´s realism.

Graphic drivers are unstables at this moment and its rendering under OpenGL, not vulkan.

My question was about the newer builds don't work, not about the PS4 performing dolphin on the videos, cause 15 or 20 fps on the older version (showed at the videos) are not the same than 1-2 fps on the newer versions.

DJBarry004 I asked why the older versions are working fine showing 12-20 fps but newer versions are showing 1-2 fps, the rest is bullshit cause I know, the performance isn't perfect and for some games never will be even at the lowest settings.

The bisect the build was an attempt to find out why the newer builds are not working so you find the oldest build with the issue and you figure out what changed between the working build and the non working build. Just saying newer builds don't work tells the developers nothing except at some point something changed...

1. The PS4 (pro) really IS too slow to run full speed
2. Dolphin got more accurate in emulating the Wii and Gamecube, making more games run and fixing bugs in others. More accuracy means more power needed.
3. There is nothing you can do to make the PS4 run games at full speed you need a decent PC to do that. This is just how it is. It also is a nail in the coffin to all console peasants saying: The PS4 is WAY more powerful than the PC.
4. We had one person a while ago that tried to say the same thing for the xbox one (and the same goes for the X version) It is just too slow if the devs could even make it work. The xbox one is based on the same CPU as the PS4, so yeah...
