I've discoverded long time ago that for some reason AMD cpus gives a lot better results in Dolphin than Intel. Lowest config I've tried Metroid Prime was AMD Athlon 64 3200+@2.3GHz and it gives average about 20fps (15-40fps), on Phenom I got fullspeed. 7-14fps on dual core cpu is incredibly poor result and I found in here many other post like that, about very poor results in Dolphin and MP 1 & 2 on Intel cpus. I wish Dolphin would be even better optimized for AMD cpus since its cheaper and faster than Intels.(05-21-2009, 05:09 AM)envisaged0ne Wrote: You won't be able to play it @ full speed since the emulator will treat your processor as a dual core. I have a 2.2 and I can only get up to 14 FPS. Is there anything else that's going wrong?
Just very slow... I get like 7 FPS even with Dual Core enabled -_-; They need to make Quad Cores work with it so I can play full speed I can't find my GC so I have to resort to an emulator and now the emulator won't work

Something about the GC/Wii architecture that quad cores would do very little to improve performance.U can't make anything more than operating system and some videos on one core and all game on second. This thing about using third core is not really sure, it's, as far as I know, about some sound counting on third but it may be even slower than on 2 cores so it's not sure.
Actually the devs already decided on doing this and It will be faster because right now it's doing sound and processing on 1 core and video on the other, that's 2 things on one core. Doing this will enable there to be less strain on each core and thus faster emulation.
