Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles-> Local Multiplayer

[Kromara]

Okay, I seem to have it working now, but FPS has dropped down to about 17-18. It seemed like (from just playing it singleplayer on GC with Dolphin) that normal FPS is average 30. Are there any decent tips to boost FPS? I have a AMD Phenom II 6-core 3.7GHz Processor with 16GB of RAM and a 1GB 128bit Graphics Card. I'm a little baffled that I'm having FPS issues with something like this.
