Now Dolphin runs pretty decently on my NSTV Pro without having root as of the #1759 release.
GPU scaling has been rumoured to be at a wimpy 200Mhz by default,even with performance mode activated.
(you can thank and/or blame Energy Star for that)
Android release #1759 of Dolphin buildbot seems to be a bit faster since I can use EFBtoRAM with no issue on 1x IR,and adding an ini file with the fast disc read speed helps a little more for brawl,but cheats are oddly not working currently.
Put this on a new ini file named to match what game you need it on after creating the GameSettings foler inside the dolphin-emu directory.
(example for Brawl: RSBE01.ini)
[Core]
FastDiscSpeed = True
It even plays pretty smooth with four DKs on Isle Delfino and using High item spawns of Super Mushrooms despite the fps counter values.
I regret the way to rooting NSTV in general,as it requires physical connection to a computer via USB debugging,and I can't do that so easily,plus it is a PITA because of needing to do everything else instead of simply getting root just for what most people want to do,change the scaling to a higher Mhz or maxed out to 1Ghz,or perhaps install something custom after the wireless gamepad functionality issue gets fixed.
It would also require the television turned on to put in something in one step,yep,gotta get the television and the PC in reach by moving one of them if you don't have a laptop. (I don't,hence getting this device from personal limits)
Also,unless it changed,the Pro version has one step that takes 92MINUTES on average because of the 500GB HDD.
