dualcore question!

laldans · 03-18-2011, 03:53 AM #1

Hi!
I've tried to play Zelda: Wind Waker on a computer I don't know the specs of (and being a complete computer noob, I've got no idea how to see my specs Tongue

) but what I do know is that my computer runs normal pc games (all pc games) on full power with no lag whatsoever

After a bit of trial and error I found that activating Dual-Core makes my game go 100% but after a few minutes it crashes. Does anyone know a way around this? Without dual core the game hangs around 100% in small spaces, but goes to 60-80% in bigger places like The Forsaken Fortress.

Thanks in advance. Heart

Without you providing the PC specs, the Dolphin version number and the settings used, there is not much anyone can do.

Here are my settings.

I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit with an Nvidia Geforce GTX 470. My processor is an amd phenom ii x6 1055t.
That's about all the dirt I managed to dig up :p if you need any more, just say so and I'll see what I can do

Revision of Dolphin?
Dualcore should help; Turn on EFB Copy (RAM), Enable Audio Throttle (Off).

Testing now, thanks!

The sound got disabled and after a few minutes, the game crashes anyway.

I've worked out my problem.
I assumed I had to get the 64bit version of Dolphin due to me running 64bit, just found out that the 32bit version works as well, without crasing due to DualCore.
