How do you get PAL games to run at 50fps full speed? I am currently playing Metroid Prime 2 (Gamecube PAL version), and when I set the frame limiter to auto, it runs at 60fps, 100% speed most of the time. When I set the frame limiter to 50, I get 50fps but only at 83% speed. EURGB60 mode is disabled for Wii games, but Super Mario Galaxy (PAL) still doesn't run in PAL mode. I'm getting 60fps inside the observatory dome. I really want that extra 10fps in performance since my CPU is not that strong.

Current dolphin version: 3.0-184 (x64)

Please help.

fps doesn't matter, the game speed does. in other words, 100% speed is the correct speed for the game

also, if you pay attention to the cover of MP2 it says 60Hz only

Thanks for replying.
Never noticed that 60Hz only thing before. Maybe I need glasses. Confused

Don't worry, there are other settings you can toggle to lighten the load on your processor.

Most notably, enabling dual core. Have you done that?

Yes, dual core is enabled. Thanks anyway.

Does anybody know if Super Mario Galaxy (PAL) can be played in normal PAL mode? i.e 50fps. I remember when starting the game for the first time after turning off EuRGB60, it said something about changing the mode in the Wii system settings. Is this possible on dolphin?

All PAL games can be played in PAL mode to my knowledge. And adding to what silveruniverse said vps determines gamespeed not fps. What vps are you getting at fullspeed?

Oh, I get it now. It's VPS and not FPS. And you're right, SMG (pal) runs at 50 vps when at full speed. (60 vps when EuRGB60 mode is enabled)

Thanks.
