Hello people, it's me again with another problem >_>

Since i managed to fix the OpenGL Error, now i stepped into a problem: Games play too fast.

I was playing SSBB, when i noticed it went a little too fast, i went into windowed mode and saw this:

FPS: 143.51 - Core: JIT32 | DC - Speed: 4513 MHz [Real: 53 - IdleSkip: 4460] / 729 MHz

Is it normal for it to be THIS high? Because... Running games at full emulation speed is not a good idea.

So, is this normal? Or there is something wrong with my config?

Ps: I know that pressing TAB achieves this same result, but i didn't press it.

Edit:

Got the screenshot, it was going even faster than what i mentioned above.

in DSP make sure "Enable other audio (throttling)" is enabled, and if it already is enabled, try disabling "Enable Idle Skipping" in config

FPS: 112.74 - Core: JIT32 | DC - Speed: 1620 MHz [Real: 1620 - IdleSkip: 0 ] / 729 MHz

The speed is still high, either it goes over 1000 or the game doesn't play at all without IdleSkip.

If that fails, just put something graphic intensive on like Vsync..

No offense but thats just a stupid thing to say... why on earth would you reduce a computers performance when it's just an issue with some settings

You should be able to get the games to run at regular FPS by:

Under DSP Settings, make sure you're using DSound and enable Other Audio (Throttle)
Under Graphics Settings, enable VSync under the General Tab

That will force Dolphin to throttle the FPS to the required speed of each game
