Hello,
Questions like these have probably been asked dozens of times, but I can't find anything specific that I have not tried either from here or Youtube videos that could fix the issues I'm having so here goes...
My PC is a very decent rig that should, according to documentation, have no problem running any game that's thrown into Dolphin, but I'll list the specs just in case...
i7-4790k
GTX 970 4GB
8 GB GSkill DDR3 1866
XBOX 360 controller as emulated Wiimote
I'm shocked because even with this machine, I am getting unbearable lag and can't even get passed the start screens in SMG1, SMG2 or, most importantly, DKC Returns lately. I can't figure out what the issue could be given that I used to run all 3 of these games, albeit with a noticeable slowdown (especially DKC) on my old Q6600 Quad Core a few months back.
I've looked at different configs, made sure the compiler settings were fine, even put the games and emulator on same HDD or SSD to make sure they ran of the same drive, nothing helps... If anyone has an idea on what I might be doing wrong, please do tell...
I hope this is clear enough, if not I'll try and put up a video, but it is simply incredibly laggy, the emulation itself starts slow, the Wiimote warning screen comes up slow (a good 5 seconds) and fades out just as slow... and then the game comes on and same problem, slow fade in, huge chops in audio, etc...
Many thanks in advance for any help
