So i played metroid prime 1 all the way thru and it was perfect. Now im playing prime 2 and at first it plays at 60fps without stuttering of any kind, but then maybe 30 minutes in i notice that every once in a while it will drop a frame or 2 and cause a stutter. Another 30 minutes after that it stutters about once every 3 seconds, pausing for about half a second each time. Another 15 minutes after that and its running at about 20fps and freezes for about 2 seconds at a time every 5 seconds. Then i manage to limp to a save station and reboot the emulator and everything is back to perfect and starts the cycle all over again.
Im monitoring everything and the main cpu core never goes above 50% (35% when i first start playing) with all others at maybe 5-10% if that( whole cpu at maybe 30%) CPU chip temp never goes above 35*C and the GPU temp is so low the fan hardly turns on (around 50*C) The ram usage never goes above 30% so its not a memory leak. I have also done a hard burn on CPU and GPU where everything goes to 100% for 1 hr and temps never got close to thermal throttling level. ive changed just about every setting i know what it does and there was 0 change. please help.
