Can someone plz give me some tips on how to not get the game to lag? all of the game seem to run really fast at the beginning, then they lag for a few minutes, then it goes normal, then it speeds up, lags, normal, lags, and stays lagging. It's so annoying! > Sad

How fast is your HDD? How much ram do you have? Whats your Graphics settings. Number 1 cause i've noticed for that suttering is the texture setting.

I can't imagine how a person can join a forum, ask a random question and not provide any information at all and expect someone to post "helpful advice".

You may be able to play a few games, but that PC is the reason for your "in-game lag". You'll need a new PC to play games well. If you want to try it anyway, look at the attachment in the last post and do with it suggests. --> http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=13820&page=2

hmmm that CPU is slow for Dolphin. Also is the GFX card. When you say they run fast in the beginning, you're not talking about the menus and intros, are you?

Um...not to be annoying or anything, but i'm OCD... do you mean "do what it suggests"? I'm sorry, i just can't stand grammatical errors... (*_ _)

No, i mean when Dolphin first starts up and finishes loading the game, it starts out really fast. then lags, then stops lagging, etc.

There isnt a single component of your PC thats up to the job to handle it. You should Overclock your CPU and replace your GPU.

Also if you're at 1.9ghz overclocked you're fucked. Simply put. Check out my video post in the arc thread. I think thats the best you can look forward to. Maybe even thats wishful thinking.
