I've played a handful of GameCube games and when I check Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to see the temperatures and how many cores are being used, it is always 1.
Does it depend on the game?

In Dolphin, go to Configuration. Then check Dual-Core mode.
Make sure in the games´ properties that the setting (Dual-Core) is not overriden by making sure it´s checked as a filled square. Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.
Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 780/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 Mobile | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.

What about Dolphin in general? Does it has Dual-Core mode enabled?

@Smiggy - What CPU do you have exactly (e.g. mine is an i5-2500K)? It could be that you're using Turbo Boost at it's highest frequency, which on some models means all but one core is disabled (to reduce heat). That sounds pretty likely. Check your BIOS and try disabling Turbo Boost.
Also, what does Windows Task Manager say about all of this? (12-21-2013, 05:17 AM)Shonumi Wrote: @Smiggy - What CPU do you have exactly (e.g. mine is an i5-2500K)?

I use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to keep the increased Turbo Boost constant by playing with the voltage settings. It's the extra juice, I need apparently to play Wii and GameCube games at maximum settings. (12-21-2013, 05:03 AM)DJBarry004 Wrote: What about Dolphin in general?

Tried it on Dolphin 32-bit and still the same, 1 core being used. This is retarded.
When, I run a Stress test using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility all 4 cores are used. See screenshot. 12-23-2013, 10:15 AM
Try not using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Your CPU has an unlocked multiplier; you should be able to overclock all your cores from the BIOS.
