Frame rate drop

trying to play Harvest Moon animal parade on wii. If I am in a house (small region) frame rate is fine but once I zone into a big area the frame rate drops severely. I am wondering if my computer can run this game at anything higher than 15-20 fps. I know my computer is out dated but was curious if it could handle this game or not. Thanks.

Unfortunately your CPU is going to be too weak to emulate this game properly.

"Too weak" sounds short for the CPU he has...Confused

15-20 fps is surely unplayable :S

It actually depends on game speed format. 20 out of 60 is a hell, being not the same in 20 out of 30 (some games have a max FPS of 30).

25 out of 50 is VERY unplayable if the game requires 50 FPS all the time (unless the game needs 25 FPS max.)

That CPU is definitely limiting your options for speed

Hello, I just wanted to quite revive this topic since I'm having the same problem... but the thing is that I didn't back then; you see, I have had this computer since a bit more than a year: Pavilion dv4-5164la, Intel Core i5-3210M 2.50GHz, 6GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I ran TLoZ: Wind Waker, NSMB.Wii and SSB.Brawl. In march of this year I had an accident with the hard disk so I had to replace it, and so far everything goes fine, but I noticed the emulation is not the same as it used to be, since I have the same problem that when you approach to big places the frame rate drops & thus it gets much more slow, something that never happened when I first got this computer. So basically I don't know if this problem lies on the emulator (Dolphin 4.0.1) or on my computer itself.
An extra thing, but the reason I post this is because I have tried different configurations for the emulator to get it faster but even so the problem is still there.

I would give you thumbs up, but this isn't youtube or facebook xD
But anyways thank you a lot! It did actually work and I tried with both older versions, 3.0 & 3.5, & they both run faster around 80% at big areas, which is reasonably great, unlike the <60% I had with the newer versions
EDIT: Now the only problem I would have is with the save file; apparently I have no problem into playing the same saved file between the version 4.0.0 & 4.0.1, but when I try with 3.5 it just loads a whole new file since it seems it's not compatible. It's for TLoZ: Wind Waker (GC).
