Hello, I have very recently encountered Dolphin, and after a lot of annoying newbie problems, I've managed to get it to work very well. (I'm on XP, though, and it appears some games glitch on XP whilst they don't on Windows 7... Oh well.)
Something has come to my attention after some time, though. My games lag. A little, but sufficiently that I found it odd. Without the dual core support, they would never attain full speed, but with it, I can run with high settings. The thing is I don't have two cores. I have eight. And I did check the CPU usage of dolphin when my games aren't at full speed. Dolphin only takes 25% (Which is logical, as I get "Dual Core" is for 2 cores). And it uses the two cores fully. But the 6 other cores aren't doing anything at all, so I am feeling it's power gone to waste.
Is there any way that Dolphin can make use of those extra cores? Thank you.
