Well first off i'll post my PC specs, CPU: I7 quad core(8 logical cores) RAM: 12GB GPU: NVIDIA GT 620 OS: Windows 7 professional 64 bit. Dolphin version i'm using is 3.0-864 dirty, downloaded from the main site. Graphical settings are D3D9 Fullscreen resolution(not using fullscreen however) is 1920 x1080. Apsect is set to Auto. V-Sync is on. Show FPS is on. Other boxes are unchecked. Under enhancements i have left the internal resolution at 1x native 640 x 528. Anti aliasing is set to off. Anisotropic filtering is set to 1x. Boxes are all unchecked. Under Hacks i have all boxes unchecked. EBF copies is set to RAM.(enable cache is not checked) External frame buffer is set to virtual. All options under advanced are unchecked.

On to the problem i'm having. Currently i'm on Dragon Roost island, wandering through some of the indoors parts of the volcano The game is running at 29-31 fps at all times, no signs of any slowdown.. I've noticed that some areas run into a ripple like effect across the screen(no fps drop while its occuring), that I would guess to be tearing(dont really know honestly). Not all areas have it, and it doesn't stop me from playing it just seems rather odd. Is there any settings i can change to try to fix this? An example of an area with this issue for me, is the area immediatly after the first green pot you run into.

You may be encountering a known issue with this game. If what the wiki describes fits your experience, follow the instructions on the page. Be sure to try all three, the AR code doesn't seems to work for everyone, and using Free Look can be hit or miss for some people depending on how well they can control it.

err i feel like an idiot, but how do i enter a cheat into Dolphin? I found the cheats manager, but cant figure out how to put a code into it.

Go to the properties of the game (right click on your game in the Dolphin window) and goto "Gecko Codes". Download codes and tick the one you like.

Note: Don't forget to check "Enable Cheats" under Config!

i figured that out about a half hour after posting, and added the code mentioned in the link to fix the problem. Worked wonderfully, got through Dragon Roost island then disabled the code and cheats in general again.
