I recently started using the Dolphin emulator. And I've only got a handful games so far. Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, and Mario Power Tennis. I have a fairly beefy system so I wanted to push the games as hard as I could. (At a reasonable resolution).
These games require gecko codes for proper 16:9 aspect ratio. With, or without, the built-in widescreen hack. To rid of culling and proper pop-in. A consistent issue that has been very prevalent in all of these games while using a gecko widescreen hack code, is hanging.
The frame rate will drop down to like 1 for about a second or so. The only thing that will remedy this issue, is if I disable the gecko code. With the games running as smooth as a baby's butt. And no hiccups. But if re-enabled, the issue comes back.
