Is ZTP (GC version) Hyrule Field @ full speed possible yet?

[nonoitall]

First off I'm completely aware that Hyrule Field in ZTP (later in the game) is very taxing for Dolphin at this time, and that most machines aren't going to be able to run it at full speed. But when searching the forum about it, I saw lots of posts implying that, with a pretty fast CPU, the area could be played at full speed.

So I'm just wondering if that really is possible as of now? I'm running an i5-3570k @ 4.2 GHz with AMD Radeon HD 5770 (drivers are up to date), and speed in most areas of Hyrule Field averages around 78% of full. Settings:
   
   

(All the game-specific settings are at their defaults, including the enabled ZTP hack.) I tried HLE audio, which sped things up to almost full, but sound was predictably glitchy and the tendency to have the background music hang on a single note is worse than playing at a slower speed, IMO. Also tried LLE on its own thread, which sped things up about 5%, but it tends to freeze during transitions from one area to another. I also tried the JITIL compiler, but after several attempts I couldn't make it out of the spring in Kakariko Village before it froze, so I'm not sure if it improved Hyrule Field or not. Is this about the best that I should expect at this time with this hardware? (Not complaining or anything if it is -- I just want to know if there's anything more I can tweak.)

EDIT: Didn't realize my profile specs weren't showing, but this is on Windows 7 with Dolphin 3.5 x64.

I guess there's nothing more you can do (except overclocking more maybe ).

I haven't tried the game with my 3570k yet. I'd been fairly hoping I could get near full-speed in Hyrule Field. Gonna try that soon

On older revisions it's possible. On newer revisions I'm not so sure.

NaturalViolence, I'm curious if you know the cause of the difference in speed between the revisions. Is it a case of "more accurate emulation at the cost of speed" or is it something different?

[NaturalViolence]

Lots of little changes and additions to the code have been made over the last few years. Some are optimizations that increase performance but many are optimizations that decrease performance in order to increase accuracy (fix something) or make the code cleaner (to make future improvements easier).

Any particular revision/version that would be ideal?

[NaturalViolence]

Not really. I would try 3.0 or r6505. Keep in mind the forum community offers no support for any issues encountered with those older builds though (although you probably won't encounter any with this particular game).

[nonoitall]

It was an FPS or two faster in 3.0. Still not quite full speed, but I guess that will be the case until one of the brilliant devs deduces a way to overcome this tricky obstacle. Thanks for the assistance!

Try r7719 thats the one of the older revisions I have where its running at fullspeed, and I have i5 2400 which is locked to about 1 ghz lower then your cpu.

But, I played with HLE because I didnt really notice music hanging on a single note or any other glitches...maybe HLE is working better in that old build for this game ? Who knows, its worth a try

Month ago i changed my i5 2500 to i7 3770 and speed increase was significant. with i5 i was getting 22-25fps in Hyrule field. Now i am getting 30fps all the time. And i am using 3.5-227.(I am progressed much further into game almost close to finishing story)
