Hi there,
I recently tried to play Zelda:WW and Zelda:TP (both gamecube versions) on my pc and I was really suprised to see WW with about 20-17 FPS on the starting island.

Im playing the PAL version on the setup you can see below.
Dolphin version is the latest 3.5-xxx x86.
Settings are all according to

Overclock & get a 64-bit OS.

Actually he shouldn't need to overclock the Phenom II 955 to get full speed in Wind Waker. Try these settings while the game is running.

You can read the internal resolution guide after you get decent speed with the other settings.

Ok, thank you for your help. I figured out that the settings were right and that the problem is something different - there is a problem with the cooling of my cpu something is wrong and the bios is regulating the cpu down as it gets 2 hot. I bought new heat conductive paste and a new cpu cooler.
It is a pitty I never installed cputemp before this dolphin experiment.

Ill give you more in formation when im done with setting up the new components.

I feel like the dumpest person in the world - after installing the new cooler the games works brilliantly even in highest settings. I hope I did not damage the cpu that much whilst running it with too high temperature and the bios saved my ass.
