Dolphin Framerate halves when I turn on frameskip.

Even if you tell Dolphin to use frame-skipping, the CPU thread STILL has to emulate the same game code, and STILL will be the bottleneck in your situation (you're lowering the graphics throughput without reducing the cost of emulation).

Is that a notebook or laptop? Those aren't the most ideal for GC/Wii emulation, unlike desktops...

ok yeah that'd be right I've got a shitty core at the moment I'll stick to my softmodded Wii then.
