Sorry for caps there, it's just that it needs to be drilled into so many people's heads so hard, and yet hardly anyone retains the information.

Having a bad GPU will NOT decrease emulation speed, as long as frame skipping is set properly, as no emulation is done on the GPU.

Under the emulation menu, go to the Frame Skipping submenu. Fiddle with this value until VPS is 100%, and FPS is still at a playable level.

Also, you seem to be running an old version of dolphin. Update to the latest development build and see if it gets better.

I updated to 4.0-705 and now the game starts gets in to a couple startup screens and logos for the game itself then freezes, and I am on default settings for everything. Also I only have the 1 gfx card. I was using 4.0.2
