Problems with dolphin on linux kubuntu

[nerofromde]

hi, I just installed dolphin on my kubuntu (Im very happy now Smile) ),

with
$ mkdir Dolphin
$ cd Dolphin
$ git clone https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/ dolphin-emu
$ cd dolphin-emu
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install


but now I see that some games dont work quite "good" enough...

for example wii mario kart, mk armaggedon, new super mario bros and smash bros (only multiplayer) are a little bit too SLOW...

dirt 2 works but the racetrack is black... and I dont know why???

Fifa12 is a joke... you cant see the players, only shades... its slow and to make the settings in the game without a nunchuck (with xbox360 controllers) is VERY difficult

resident evil the dark side chronicles is very VERY SLOW

I think my processor is not bad, its a intel q6600 quad 2,40ghz... a new one costs 100€ so...

I THINK THE PROBLEM IS:
In graphicconfig I can only choose OPENGL and I think thats the problem why its so slow, can I get dirextX on linux to make it faster????? or do you have a better solution? please help...
and sorry for my english, its not perfect Wink I know that already Smile

And Kubuntu is Linux And as far as i know, DirectX can't be installed on an Linux system.

Try the Performance Guide

by the way: WiNE can emulate the DirectX environment (but only 9.0c, but that's enough for Dolphin). WiNE ist the only way to use DirectX on Linux. Here, a little extract from the WiNE-FAQ (->http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ) :

Quote:8.1. Does Wine support DirectX? Can I install Microsoft's DirectX under Wine?

Wine itself provides a DirectX implementation that, although it has a few bugs left, should run fine. Wine supports DirectX 9.0c at this time. Plans for DirectX 10 are underway.
If you attempt to install Microsoft's DirectX, you will run into problems. It is not recommended nor supported by Wine HQ to attempt this. You can install the runtime, but it will not run. The runtime needs access to the Windows drivers, and Wine cannot access them for obvious reasons. The only native Microsoft DLLs that could be useful anyway are the d3dx9_xx.dll type ones, and these require you to accept Microsoft's license. Additionally, versions of these DLLs are now part of the Wine tree. So, as Wine improves these DLLs will only become less relevant.
That said, there are some guides out there which describe how you can install Microsoft's DirectX. We reiterate: It is not recommended nor supported by Wine HQ to attempt this. Furthermore it is considered off topic in Wine HQ support mediums (such as the forums). Please use a clean Wine configuration folder before seeking help. (You may need to rm -rf ~/.wine and re-install your Windows applications.)

Don't suggest people to use Wine, it's stupid. Apart from a few corner cases (e.g. firefox using PGO for Windows build but not for Linux) Wine will always be slower than a native application.
Especially for Dolphin, Wine's unlikely to run the emulator at all. You made it sound like "DirectX for Linux", giving a totally wrong impression to the OP.

Now to some actual possibly helpful advice, what GPU driver do you have installed? If you're using the distribution's default driver, you likely haven't installed the binary AMD GPU driver (fglrx aka Catalyst). There's tons of guide on the internet on how to install that one, the Ubuntu wiki probably has a whole article about it.

the fglrx is installed, but thanx

I'll ask again: Have you tried the Performance Guide yet? Really, this will give you more FPS.
