Well have you checked the compatibility list to make sure these games are compatible enough to play the game? that and you can also disable "Enable Audio Throttling" in the sound options, oh and one last thing to do if you haven't already, is enable dual core.

I doubt you'll get much of a perfomance boost with Metroid. Dolphin is treating your quad as a dual core 2.4 which isn't fast enough to run it at full speed. I have a 2.2 dual core and average 14 fps with Metroid Prime.

yeah but what is important is the graphics card ,right? or Dolphin relay more on the CPU ?

what about other games do they run faster?

[envisaged0ne]

Dolphin relies much more heavily on a fast CPU. You can actually run a lot of games at decent/full speed.

ok you average at 14 fps with Metroid Prime ,what about the other games do you have the same problem ?

any help from other users would be Appreciated

you can run others faster it's just that metroid is very demanding
