i just downloaded this emulator and followed the guide on the main page. however while trying to play zelda wind waker i noticed the fps dropping to around 37-40% and the game would lag dramatically. i was wondering if anyone could help me optimize my settings to keep the game roughly around 75-80%+.

my system specs are
nvidia geforce GTS 360M (1GB)
i5 processor 2.27 ghz able to boost to 3.2ghz
4 gigs RAM

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

We need a full readout of your settings.

First of all switch to this build:

32 bit: http://cid-b8ece3275d590dda.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Dolphin/Dolphin%20x86%20SVN%20Revision%207236.7z
64 bit: http://cid-b8ece3275d590dda.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Dolphin/Dolphin%20x64%20SVN%20Revision%207236.7z

And change efb copy to texture. I'm guessing you already have audio throttle off since you didn't list it, that's another important one.

Right click the game in dolphin and go to game properties. Make sure all the boxes are filled in but not checked.
