Looking for THE BEST setting for Dolphin Speed

[Salamandar]

I have been tweaking my dolphin 3.5 for days trying to find the best settings for Legend Of Zelda: The Twilight Princess so far my in-game speed is about a 54% average. Please help me find the best configuration to run the game as efficiently as possible.

Settings won't help you here, you just can't run Twilight Princess at full speed on that CPU. Most people around here literally use a $200 heavily-overclocked CPU to run it at full speed. (That's just the CPU, their whole computer might cost $800-2000.)

Sorry, fella. Emulation, and Dolphin in particular, can be a pile of absolute horseshit sometimes. I mean, look at my MacBook Air, all I can really run on it is Animal Crossing. v_v

He's probably right that it won't work. However, have you tried disabling scaled EBT copies or tried using an older revision of Dolphin such as 3.0-917? Sometimes some games will lag a bit less on older revisions, while some lag less on newer.

I haven't gotten that game yet, looking for a good deal . Anyway, your CPU is worse then mine, and I assume you have integrated graphics. Try the 3.0 official release; I switch to that when a game lags on 3.5. Keep EFB Copies to texture (however I heard of a minimap glitch that happens when you do that and I'm not sure what that means - I'll check the wiki) and use HLE. Also 3.0 has really low IR settings to use, like .5xIR. That helps if a game lags.

Edit: Uh, keep EFB Copies in RAM. Anyway based on the test entries:

You should get 50-80% with your CPU. Dungeons should run fastest. Use ZTP speed hack for Hyrule field, but that part will still be slow, say 15-60%

.5x IR won't help much (he's more CPU-limited than GPU-limited with an HD 3000) and it's really not worth running a game in (it looks uglier than a witch's tit). Why do you think it was removed after 3.0? >_>

Lol just a suggestion, it might give him an extra frame each second.
