How well does Resident Evil Code Veronica X run?

According to the Dolphin wikia, there's missing sounds (how descriptive!) and a "new game film" missing.

Anyone know what either of those mean? What sounds specifically?

I own a physical copy of every RE already except this one, so it's either emulating it, or buying a questionable-condition one on amazon for $30

I suppose there is also the option of emulating it on the PS2....

It's not going to get any more specific about the sounds because there 1) are probably too many to list and 2) are probably random anyway. Many RE titles need LLE audio to play correctly (though a handful still have trouble with sounds even with LLE). The "new game film" missing most likely means the intro video when starting a new game just doesn't play (e.g. black screen appears). We have members like LordVador who know how the RE games play on Dolphin; he should be online sooner or later, and he can provide you with more accurate info since he's probably played this title before.

alrighty. and yeah I played REmake with LLE audio...it worked for the most part, but a few times it caused massive slowdowns even though I have a pretty decent gaming rig.

With HLE you'll get music cuts. Will work fine with LLE. Sound glitches, voice cuts may appear. EVEN with LLE.
First cutscene is missing

The game is playable (with Dolphin 3.0 and probably with more recent builds).
There is a "texture issue" but it can be solved from different ways (depends if your game is NTSC/PAL)
The game is demanding but your system has enough juice Wink

This is another option indeed

This game is running like shit. If I use LLE audio, I have to turn the graphics low for it to run smoothly, but even then it still reaches 20FPS and the audio is unsynched.

When I use HLE audio, the game runs slightly better, but now there's numerous sound bugs.

Gah, I would play this game on the GC, but I can't afford to buy it right now.

OC your CPU. The i5-2500K deserves it. Haven't OC'ed too much myself, but it's worth it if you want to maximize your performance.

I OC'd it to 4.5 Ghz and it still didn't help -___-

Granted, I was testing it on the first scene in the jail, and the only problem was that dialogue was still not synched properly, both with LLE and HLE. Bleh, I'll test it out more tomorrow.

3.0 64 bit. I assumed it's more stable. Should I try a newer revision?

My temps didn't go over 55C.

Also, I've run Crysis maxed out w/ mods at 30FPS+, so I don't understand how this can run so poorly.
