mario kart wii 2 player

[inteGReddy]

so.. i have been searching the forums all night for this. is 2 players on mario kart wii possible or not? i try it on my system, and it maxes out at 20 fps. the weird thing is that i still have 44% unused cpu. (SEE attachment) i tried locking and unlocking the threads. leaving them unlocked seems the way to go because it allows the thread to utilize more than one core.

neway.... one interesting thing to note: the game speeds up by about 10 fps after letting it sit forever. i get perfect 60 fps in single player btw. only does this in multiplayer. quad-core phenom @ 3.5 ghz

Yes, 2 player is possible, you just need to connect 2 gamepad (or 2 wiimote or 2 whatever you want to use with alt+F6)

not what i was asking. i can enter 2 player mode but it causes the game to be unplayable. see the above attachment. i am wondering who here can play it in 2 player, if possible, and what i am doing wrong.

its runs perfect in single player... what version dolphin are you using? i've tried the newest i could find (5704) and the official one. i've tried all combinations of d3d and opengl vid settings. its like it just caps the framerate at 20. i cannot find a bottleneck newhere.

Hm that is wired. Did you turn Audio throttle off, how does it run without sound? Maybe try using a later revision.

here is what i found: i set frame limiter to off, and it works a helluva lot better. i have vsync forced in my graphics driver... so what happens now is i may be only getting 50 fps in the game... but it will show it as running at like 250% speed at the bottom of the window. im guessing this game needs to actually have a higher frame limit of 120 in 2 player to work. well... people probably already know that but i was up all nite figuring it out lol.

Well 50 FPS is the Rright value for PAL. There is nothing i change between playing alone and with my friend....
