Paper Mario 2 trouble, is my computer strong enough?

[FTG64]

Is my computer strong enough? I hope this is the right place to find the stuff, I am a n00b to this technical stuff. I just wanted to play TTYD on my computer. The characters look all glitched up, their layers are out of whack (Koops's head is behind his hood, both Mario's hands are in front of his body, etc) and I'm lucky to get any sound at all. I am on Chapter 2 now but it just got much slower. It is almost unplayable now. Help is appreciated!

Try 4.0 and tell use your video card, settings, etc.

You're still using 3.5-367 from that unofficial site... How you managed to register at the forums?

Get the latest development build or the recently released stable version and your problems will probably go away
Tip: the official website is https://dolphin-emu.org/

EDIT: Damn it, ExtremeDude2 and his Sonic avatar ninja'd me!

I just downloaded it, and pow, much better! Although the partners are still a bit glitchy, is there a fix for that?

Which GPU do you have?

I'm sorry I do not know. Where on my computer do I find this information?

For expanded/deeper information download CPU-Z "http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/1.66-setup-en.exe" and GPU-Z "http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2265/techpowerup-gpu-z-v0-7-3/"

Or just (windows key + R) and type "dxdiag" without quotes and click the "display" tab.

Is this what you are talking about?

Precisely. By the way, the Radeon HD 4000 series are a bit old (released in June 2008).

So does that mean there is no fix for the glitchy partners and Punies (even more so with the latter)? When I clear a chapter the partners are fine, until I restart, in which case they glitch up again. Also the sound is still really choppy, which ruins epic moments like clearing a chapter.
