I can run, but how can I improve?

[bigearv14]

I can run the games I want at around 80-90% speed. I was wondering if I could make any changes that could improve that to 100%

Processor/CPU: Intel Core2 Quad Q8300 @2.50 GHz
Video Card/GPU: AMD Radeon 6670
Memory/RAM: Crucial 4GB
Dolphin Revision Currently Using: 3.0-681 x64

Also, I am currently running the quick/dirty settings listed here:

1st - Try the official Dolphin 3.0 release
2nd - Try this settings -> http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=23618
3rd - Overclock your CPU

I don't know anything about overclocking and the tutorials confuse the crap out of me, but using the official release has worked wonder, but only tested on Twilight Princess.

Thank you!

Is it better the 3.0 Release than the latest 3.0-xxx?? Why? Thanks!

As the developers continue to improve rhe accuracy of the emulator, speed is sacrificed somewhat. Dolphin 3.0 can't run everything, but it runs almost all games perfectly and quickly. The newer 3.0-xxx versions run things more slowly, but with greater accuracy.

Also, 3.0-xxx revisions are not "stable," meaning they are development builds that may still have bugs. 3.0 is tried and true.

Thanks! And can I use in the same Dolphin folder the 3.0 and the latest 3.0-xxx?

No, use 3.0 in its own folder.

Wait, what? Why? What happened to the folder hierarchy? Did things change?

[DefenderX]

Yep, right.

So what changed exactly?
