update on this game:
music is garbled. sound effects seem ok

warning/error pop up for d3d plugin in fullscreen mode crashes the game. in order to play, disable "Use Panic Handlers".


P.S. using r5192 x64 with d3d fullscreen mode widescreen hack, 16:9 forced with a resolution of 1920x1200. Standard hle audio plugin. dsound or openal makes no difference. lle untested

Tested wave race blue storm PAL with latest Dolphin r7595 using default settings

Runs full speed, also music is emulated perfect (to the above people try redumping your game again)
With DX9 no visible graphic glitches, runs perfect.
With DX11 your rider will be glitched for example head will detach from body and body will move to front and back on the jetski.

So run at DX9 and default settings and your good to go.

Set Framelimit to "Auto" or check "Limit by FPS" and set the Framelimit to 60

I did it but if the fps is still at 60 fps the speed of the game is very very high, unplayable...

Limit fps to 30

Now speed is ok thanks but so bad to not have 60 fps anymore. Really not nice and smooth

Any solution to get notmal speed and 60 fps...

Try this : Use Dolphin 3.0 and enable Audio Throttle (in sound settings)
