Hi guys. New user here. Anyway I just discovered the wonderful word of Dolphin (3.5 official) recently and having been playing Xenoblade. The first few hours I had issues with audio desyncing and the crackling noises. Accurate VBeam Emulation and framelimit: 30 fps + limit by FPS fixed it...and i thought everything was perfect since i was having zero issues in cutscenes and only having the occasional random noise for 2-3 secs. Anyway, this whole time i just realized that fps drops from 30fps down to 20-22 fps during battles.
At this point ive tried everything and finally found the solution...Dolphin 3.0. There were no slowdowns in battle using 3.0. But I wasn't problem free...check these screenies out (looks worse coz converted from png to jpg):
This is how i usually play (3.5):

this is how Dolphin 3.0 is:

I messed around with the settings once and for like 5 seconds the gfx were fine then the audio crackled and BAM...tetris mode!
you can see how pixelated 3.0 is outputting the visuals...and yes, i have the exact same settings with 3.0 as with 3.5 ...except i cant use IRx4 with 3.0 so I had to use IRx3.
Ive tried messing with settings and nothing. FYI i have 3.0 and 3.5 saved on different folders and i just basically copied over the user folder from 3.5 to 3.0.
can anybody shed some light on the issue? thanks!
