Dolphin runs slow after having run flawlessly

Xirvet · 10-15-2013, 10:56 PM #1

When I installed Dolphin the first day, it ran at a 100% speed all the time with no troubles. Then, as I went to sleep, I close my computer and then the next day, it was laggy ESPECIALLY the sound which is always skipping. What can I do to find these performances again ?

Note : my computer runs PS2 emulation flawlessly which I think needs better performances so...

Which game(s) are you trying to play?

Is it plugged in and not over heating?

Mine is not plugged in (laptop) plus it's brand new so it ain't over-heating. The main one I'm trying to run is SoulCalibur 2 but every other games I played that ran without trouble as well now runs slowly.

That means nothing

Well, it does not heat that much anyway.

Did you check the temps?

You say your laptop is not plugged in? It may be in a low performance or battery saving state. Go into your power settings and make sure it's in high performance mode. Also check the temps while running dolphin.

Yeah, I didn't see that, if it is unplugged that is quite likely the problem

What do you mean by the temps ?
