I've been having some major FPS issues in a few games. They mostly start out fine but when I get to certain areas it drops FPS by a lot.

My Specs

Full Detail:

The games I've tested are:
Twilight Princess (Wii NTSC)
Xenoblade (Wii NTSC)
Last Story (Wii NTSC)
Dragon Ball z BT3 (perfect)

Twilight princess seems to be more less of a issue then the other two. In TP, everything is nice and smooth up intill I reach Ordon Village. From there it drops to around 25 FPS. TP works best for me using OpenGL as backend. The other two have no chance of running OpenGL as backend for whatever reason. Xenoblade (DX11) seems all fine up intill the tutorial battle. Last story(DX11) happens right at the starting and cant get any good FPS.

I've tried almost all combinations of settings to get the games working better. None seem to really improve the slow down issues. I've checked the wiki for said games and doing the fixes/gfx enhance don't seem to improve speed. I really don't know how to solve this as this is a new computer. Any help would be wonderful.

That's normal for your CPU
Keep in mind that Dolphin is a dual core application . Dolphin favors single threaded performance which your CPU doesn't fare well
Base on Dolphin Benchmark , FX 8350 @ 4.52GHz (Overclocked) is on par with the outdated 2nd generation i5 2500k @ 3.3GHz (stock speed)
The CPU requirement for The Last Story is 4th gen i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz (Overclocked) which is on par with i5 3570k @ 5.0GHz

In other word , you have CPU bottleneck
Laptop:
Clevo W230SS : 3200x1800 IPS | i7 4700MQ @ 3.6GHz (Intel XTU + Triple fan mod) | GTX 860M GDDR5 | 128GB Toshiba CFD SSD | 16GB DDR3L 1600MHz
Aspire 715 43G : 1080p 144Hz |  R5 5625U @ 4.3GHz | Nvidia RTX 3050 4GB | 500GB WD SSD  | 16GB DDR4 3200MHz 
Mini PC ::
G3258 @ 4.6GHz | ELSA GTX 750 | Asrock Z87E ITX | 600W SFX 80+ Gold Silverstone + SG06-LITE | Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2000MHz | Scythe Kozuti + Ao Kaze | 45TB 2.5" Ex HDD (in total) , Zelda Gold Wiimote , LE Wii Classic Controller , Gold LE PS3 DualShock , BlackWidow Chroma ,

I really don't know much about CPUs. I guess there is nothing really that can be done? That's a shame.
Thanks for the reply.

Try to OC your CPU.
I have FX 4300 @ 4400MHz - Xenoblade runs at fullspeed 90% of time. The Last Story is playable (at least for me, I've finished Metroid Prime on my old system with ~60% speed and ~30% speed on major endgame battles. Yeah, I'm kinda masochistic Wink )

I don't really feel safe to overclock my CPU as I know nothing in that area. I don't even know where to start.

You can look for guides about overclocking your CPU. But, to start, you can try raising the clock speed (in the BIOS of course) or simply the multiplier.
Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.

Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 780/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 Mobile | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.

Thanks. Will look into it soon.

Hmm, yeah. I don't think I really want to go through the trouble if I do this wrong. I think its safest to just skip Dolphin sadly. Thanks for the help guys!
