I have played several GameCube games with no problems, but encountered an issue with the only two Wii games that I tried.
I tried playing Xenoblades and Monster Hunter Tri.
Both games started at a solid 30 fms, but as soon as the first cut scene begins, it drops to 20 and becomes unbearable.
I changed the settings in the Nvidia control pannel for Dolphin to use the NVidia card instead of the integrated graphics, but that didn't help either.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Btw-My PC plays most PC games at Ultra settings without a prob. This includes WOW at 60-100 fps, and Skyrim at over 60 fps also.

Windows 8.1
3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-3230M Processor 2.6GHz[b]with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.2GHz[/b]
[b][b]NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 730Mwith 2GB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM

Your CPU isn't fast enough for Xenoblade or MH3. The fact that you can play standard PC games at 60 fps is irrelevant, as those care much more about your GPU and much less about your CPU than Dolphin does.

If you want a free speedup, use the OpenGL backend and check "Vertex Streaming Hack" in Graphics > Hacks. If you want it any faster, you'll need to run Dolphin on something with a faster CPU. If you want hardware recommendations, look around the rest of the forums; common recommendations include an overclocked i5-4670K for desktops and an i7-4700MQ (or something thereabouts, I forget) for laptops. (GPU can be anything as long as it's not integrated and/or low-end; if it *is* crappy, games in will still usually run full speed at minimum resolution, so it depends on how much you care about running games in Dolphin at 1080p.)

Not entirely true. I changed the settings to Direct X9 and changed the settings to use the video card and was able to play both games at 100% speed- 30 fps solid. Just putting it out there in case anyone has the same issue.

It's usually true, especially since DX9 has been long been removed in the post-4.0 dev builds. Which it fully deserved, that ugly clusterfuck of a graphics backend...
