Heavy stutters during Meta-Ridley fight in Metroid Prime 1 (Wii Trilogy)

[Komarzer]

As the title says, I'm having heavy stutters and FPS drops during the Meta-Ridley fight, absolutely unplayable. It also happened during most of my gameplay when entering/getting out of water, but wasn't a big issue since it would last 1-2 seconds max.

I'm on Dolphin 5.0-14790, Apple Macbook M1, Vulkan, Dual core disabled since my game would crash everytime I use the morph ball, async, 3x resolution with 16x anisotropic. Tried lowering to 2x resolution, but same issue. Except for this, the play ran smoothly with 45-60 FPS depending on the areas.

Has anyone experienced that?

Do you have Asynchronous Ubershaders enabled?

Yes.

I don't know much about how this game performs on the Apple M1, but the Ridley battle is known to be significantly more demanding than most of the game.

Yeah I can see that. I could go with the FPS drops when entering water, but with Ridley, it's really unplayable.

I tried decreasing the resolution down to native, anisotropic filtering to 1x, precompiling shaders, still stuttering. Damn.

Any help?
