Get more FPS out of my Nvidia Shield

Hey guys!

For Christmas, all my girlfriend wanted was to play her favorite Gamecube game again. So I set her up with a Nvidia Sheild with Dolphin on it! After installing a 3.x build and configuring the controllers, I installed a latest 5.x build. Most games work fine and play pretty well! (Thanks guys!)

However, the one game she wanted to play is chugging along at 20~ frames per second most times past the loading screens. I'm guessing that it's pretty dang graphically intensive or some such thing.

I've tried to lower the settings to as low as they can go, but does anyone else have a suggestion? I'll post my config's when I go home tonight, but I based it off this guy's youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8ExZ_Irz2Q

Thanks for any and all help! I'm VERY appreciative of what's been created here for me to enjoy.

Yeah? What game is it?

Unless it's Super Mario Bros Wii, chances are it's not going to run full speed no matter what you do. While the Shield TV is the best Android device for Dolphin right now, it has a crap CPU that can't keep up with what Dolphin is going to throw at it.

There isn't really an Android device that exists that is "good" for Dolphin.

I'm trying to play Chibi-Robo for GC. It's weird because both Wind Waker and Twilight Princess (GC both) Seem to run fine (at least the 5 minutes I invested into each of them to see if they'd work for my GF) 

Sad to hear that Android devices aren't heavy enough yet. I got this thing because I saw a couple posts around that it could run dolphin well. Sad

"runs dolphin well" if you disable a lot of thermal throttling and voltage scaling safety functions which a handful of people are doing.

And even then it only runs well for about 5-10 minutes before throttling.

The SHIELD Android TV doesn't thermally throttle.

Its actually underclocked drastically,if I remember correctly.
The mere 200Mhz of GPU usage and possibly not utilizing all of the CPU cores fully.
Shield TV Pro (stock/non-rooted OTA 6.3)

Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-59EE

CPU: i5-6200U 2.3-2.8Ghz _ GPU: Nvidia GeForce 940MX 2GB (GDDR5) VRAM
Hyundai 8GB DDR4 Dual-channel SDRAM _ 1000GB HDD
New; CPU: Intel i9 9900KF_ GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060 Super | ◕‿◕

I managed to get my game (Shadow the Hedgehog for gamecube) running at full speed on my Samsung S7, on the latest 5.0 build. All it needs is a little tweaking of the settingd! Youtube videos can be a lifesaver Smile
