Story:
I have a media center PC (specs above) hooked to my 55" LCD TV VIA HMDI. I originally played NES/SNES/N64 games on an old Radeon X900 PCIe card without any lag. I wanted to move towards more platforms and more games so I went the next step up, Nintendo Gamecube. I could play Gamecube games on the X900 with a bit of lag, but it was bearable on a select few games. I then upgraded to an Nvidia EVGA GT640 DDR3 2GB PCIe 16X video card. All Gamecube games run flawlessly, I was playing on the old Doplhin v3.5 emulator at the time. I then tried Mario Kart Wii on Dolphin v3.5 and it played decent with a tiny bit of lag only on cut scenes. I then obtained more Wii games, USB Bluetooth Adapter, Wiimote, and upgraded to 4.0.2. Since then any Wii game, even the same Mario Kart Wii lags REALLY BAD! Even a 2d side scroll-er such a A Boy and His Blob lags really bad. I have used the stock setting and followed this guide: ( https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Performance_Guide ) with no difference. The only thing I should try with a no-brainer is downgrading to v3.5. Besides that does anyone have suggestions or ideas for me and my setup?
EDIT: I did as suggested for myself and tried Dolphin V3.5 again. Every Wii game plays really well, tiny bit of lag but day and night difference from v4.0.2. A Boy and His Blob doesn't lag at all(most light weight game I have).
