Hey Everyone, just seeking advice on an issue I'm having.
I've tested all setting combinations and driver configurations I can think of and it hasn't helped.
For some reason I can't get Mario Galaxy to use my spare CPU resources, and it runs fairly slow half of the time with horrible audio.
Other games fully utilise my CPU and run at 60fps most of the time.
For example Mario Kart Wii, NSMB and Donkey Kong Country Returns all run at full speed.
Anyway it's easier to just show you my problem so I've atached two screenshots illustrating the problem.
(just ignore the statistic overlay, was testing to see if it would show anything helpful).
As you can see, Mario Galaxy is only using around 50-60% of my CPU and it hovers around the indefinitly.
Dolphin 4.0 - 4465
OS - Lubuntu 14.04
GPU - AMD R7 250 1G DDR5
CPU - G3258 @ 3.8ghz (have tested at 4.2ghz)
I've tested FGLRX drivers 14.9, 14.6 and the Repository provided packages, As well as the standard open Xorg driver.
Just a note, I've tested MOST settings that effect performance in dolphin, I'd like to think I'm practiced in getting software/emulators to run, so I assure you I havn't missed silly things like the Duel Core speed up, or forgot to check individual game INIs.
Any help and advice would be greatly apreciated.
Thank you for your time.
