Hey guys, I've been a follower of Dolphin for awhile, but to cut to the point.
I've used several versions of Dolphin, like the official 2.0, or numerous revisions, ranging from 5000 to 6000, and the most latest release of 7120. I've tried numerous "custom" builds by community members, yet every game I have played, Wind Waker (US), Wind Waker (EU), Twilight Princess (US) and Soul Calibur 2 (US) have had horrible frame-rates.
The games would play at 10-15 FPS, typically lower. I've tried all kinds of settings, from disabling sound, to lowering my EFB scale, nothing has put even the slightest dent in my performance, it does not go higher or lower.
(50-53% speed for anyone curious)
I use the 8600GTS with 512MB, the X2 Athlon 2.8GHZ Dual-Core, and 2GB of DDR2 RAM. I run Windows Vista 32Bit, and have XP 32Bit ready to install if that's needed
I realize that Emulation is very very different from games built for the Native PC Format, but it's kind of sad to see that technically, a game from 2001 (Wind Waker) runs worse than Bad Company 2, but. As we all know, Emulation is different all together. Still, if anyone is curious as to how I play regular games? They run just fine.
Regardless, I don't know what to do, guys. I've spent hours looking up different versions and tweaks and all kinds of forum searches, but I haven't really found anything.
I don't know if it's my drivers or my hardware itself, I am stumped. I've tried all kinds of options, from Lock Threads, to enable Dual-Core, nothing has put the slightest dent in my Frame-rate, not for better or worse. I should be happy with what I have, but seeing as other people apparently run these games better, I think there is an underlying problem. Hell, even the rendering options don't make a difference (Direct 9, Direct 11, or OpenGL)
