im not sure if i posted this thread at the right section. i get this error when i tried to create a new thread in game discussion section:

i downloaded the latest build in dolphin's site (r7581). i know nothing about configurations and settings so i didn't touch any of it. i ran monster hunter tri and was amazed to see that the game works without configuring anything...(graphics were pixelated whenever i maximize the window or make it full screen) but then as the game starts and as the old man started to speak to me, i moved around a little inside the village... and the game was soooo slow... like 20 fps. i decided to go outside the village and the fps turned 28 which is ok. but then when i reached the aptonoths, the fps dropped to 20 again... how can i make the fps stable?

so this is the time i tried older builds and configured the settings which made it even more difficult for me to understand. like this one:
Monster Hunter Tri English Setup Guide
i followed exactly every step but to no avail.
also this:

and this one too:
YouTube - ‪How to installing Dolphin and configure for Monster Hunter 3/Tri‬&rlm;
and many more... i already tried 11 builds but still so damn sloow... am i missing something : (

i found a way to raise the fps. i disabled "enabled audio throttle" and turned off the frame limit. at first, the speed was extremely high, and drops when i reach the game (the old man speaking to me). here are my screenshots:

my system is low, could this be the problem?:
nvidia gt 220 1gb
ram 2gb
amd athlon II x2 220 2.8ghz
windows xp pro 32bit
but i can run prototype, assassin's creed, COD and resident evil 5 in full graphics... i can get along with pixelated graphics now, but i really can't play with low fps... someone pls help...

thanks...

Yes, that's the reason actually.
Try to disable EFB CPU Access. (Don't know where it's in the new versions...)

ooh, finally some progress! lectrode's build seem to give me a nice 26-27 fps by turning off the frame limit. now it still drops to 21 fps when i'm in city. i also tried entering the arena battle and that pink jaggis with her 2 babies made my fps drop to 21 too. it seems that the fps drops whenever there's a lot of monsters and around the city??

and about my system, my friends have higher systems than mine so i'll try to run dolphin on their pc to see if the problem is really about the system.

with my i7 rig @3.8ghz it runs mh3 flawlessly with 1080p 3x internal resolution, aa ...
its just a matter of power
amd with 3ghz is not an intel with 3ghz...
still with normal clock 2.8ghz it runs mh3 with 30fps but not in 1080p and not stable all the time
and my i5 with 2.5ghz is running mh3 with 80-90% speed (infight with much enemys maybe 70%(20fps) and only with 480p

just try to play with 480p and it should run

go manuel download
select patch: monster hunter 3
and download this revision
{Requested} r6505 with DKTOS, MH3v2, and FifoBsy patches
or use this link 32bit SSE3 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=APD6SNDJ

its the fastest mh3 version... with bloom patch (enable hotkeys (gpu tab) and press 6 or 7)

i guess you are right, and you said it well. i really need to thank you since of all the dolphin builds i've tried, this is the only one that worked for me. thanks for helping me out Big Grin
