Yep, Dolphin normally uses 2 cores. (3 with LLE on thread enabled)
Edit: Ninja'd
It looks like other than DSP LLE, resolution and AA/AF, nothing really should be touched except on an as-needed basis.

I find dumping and loading textures a useful feature. That, however, is never needed.
Also, it's recommended to always have 16xAF, as it has virtually no performance hit.

It does speed up a few games slightly and reduce microstuttering in some cases like admin stated but there are a few instances where it provides a very significant speedup. One example would be the cutscenes in four sword adventures which have more than a 50% speedup on my cpu with openMP enabled. If you have a quad core processor or higher there really is no reason not to use it. Streeter Wrote:Considering that I have an i7 2600k @4.2Ghz, and am using the LLE recompiler for accurate audio, DSP LLE on Thread would speed things up, correct? In some games it provides no speedup, in some games a little speed up, and in some games a moderate speedup. It just depends on the game. Streeter Wrote:How accurate is per-vertex vs per-pixel depth calculations? I haven't seen any noticeable difference so far. Neobrain still isn't sure which is more accurate. It prevents flickering waves on WW when using the camera at certain angles, it's very hard to see though. The same thing happens with the lava in metroid prime at certain camera angles if you leave it off. Apparently though it causes issues with a few games which is why it was made an option. Leave it off unless you encounter texture flickering. Streeter Wrote:And why are certain features like the JITIL recompiler and OpenCL texture decoder even available as options? It sounds like they should be hidden from normal users by default. Most options in dolphin really should only be used by "advanced users". Hiding options would be an unnecessary pain in the ass. I would hope that most users aren't dumb enough to just start randomly turning things on/off. Not to mention we have tooltips that warn against using them built into the application.

But yes the defaults are the best 99% of the time. Since IR is set to auto by default and AF isn't noticeable to most people many people probably won't even bother with either of those two options either. LLE would be enabled by default if it wasn't for the legal issues of including the needed microcode rom dumps.

Quote:Huh? Per-pixel depth is accurate hw emulation, and there never was any doubt about that. That's not what you told me a year ago when I begged you to make it default. If it's more accurate than why did you and tino insist on keeping it as an option rather than making it the only behavior?

Read http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/iss...il?id=5237 kthxbai, I don't feel like wasting my time right now

So then why did it never happen?

People where messing around with the zcomploc stuff and in anticipation of a revert I didn't want to remove the option (since that would've made a revert more cumbersome due to conflicts). Now that the zcomploc commits have been reverted (months after the initial commit), I fail to care about it.
