For some reason or another, I can run just about any GameCube game in 2x Native at about 25FPS+. As long as I don't put every other setting on max, it pretty much stays that way. At least for a while. Eventually the game hits sub 10FPS and slows down drastically.
I've tried putting every setting (I can understand) on their "lowest" levels (including the internal resolution) that would yield the best performance. Same problem. Game runs at 25-30FPS, then drops to sub 10FPS about 5 minutes in and just chugs. Massive amounts of lag.
Any ideas why? I'm using the stable 3.0 release. Specs are below. At the very least, what settings could I change from their defaults to increase the framerate and decrease the slowdown, even if the graphical quality isn't as great. I don't understand all of this stuff, so I don't know all of what I should and shouldn't change.
My rig is decent for a mid range laptop from a year or two ago. I figure the slowdown is from the difficulty of the emulation, not from from the hardware being substandard. It's not exactly an Atom rig with an integrated GPU or something.
