Hello!
Just got the emulator working
Im using an xbox controller for now however if I can get this emulator running better I may buy some wii remotes
Im playing the new super mario bros

My issues are:
The game is kinda a little slow... you can tell when mario jumps its a slow movement up and descending
Also the sound is kinda choppy and either crackles or cuts out

I read a few forum topics but none of the fixes worked I am presently using my sound card under graphics and Direct x 9 is selected but greyed out

I tried a few other settings but nothing has fixed the issue

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Chris

Welcome.

Your rig is too slow to keep up with Dolphin, use the latest development build on top of this page (Download) and see if that helps. The audio being choppy and cutting out is because your not getting full speed.

Also you should see either OpenGL or D3D with the new dev. build, DX9 was deprecated long time ago.

I hope you aren't actually using your sound card for graphics. It doesn't sound like you would get good performance from that Tongue

Their profile says windows 7 x32, so they'd have to install a 64-bit operating system too.

sorry did i write sound card? duh! I meant graphics... My graphics card is a 1080p HDMI Saphire but an older one
my sound is an maudio firewire interface

What do you suggest in minimum requirements as for processor?

Thanks for all your help guys!!!!

To be honest, any desktop Haswell CPU should be fine for light to medium games, but you'll need one that supports overclocking for the most demanding ones. The cheapest overclockable one is the Pentium G3258, which is only dual-core and has no hyperthreading, so certain programs will refuse to run on it as there aren't four hardware threads. It's a fast little chip once overclocked and is more than enough for most cases, though. If you want something more powerful, then the next cheapest overclockable one is actually not that cheap, and it's the i5 4690K, which is a pretty high-end part. The gist of things is that you'll get a lot more mileage from a recent Intel chip than anything else - in Dolphin, Intel's newest chips perform twice as well at the same clock speed as AMD's, and Dolphin can only use two main threads, so the extra cores on an AMD chip are no help.

Ideally, if you could post which games you want to play, we'll be able to judge the minimum you'll need to get them working properly - there's no need for you to go for an expensive chip for the ability to play everything if you don't care about the minority of games which will actually benefit from it.

You can try to force the game to use efb to texture. That should speed up the game a lot, like factor 2 to 3.

On the latest development builds, the emulation is correct, fast and properly upscaled, but it only works on 64bit cpus.
