I just want to know if someone else have this issue... doesn't matter which version of dolphin or which settings/plugins I am having random slowdowns in everygame I try. The game starts running at full speed, afer more or less 1 minute it run very slow for 5 seconds, then again ok, but in 30 seconds slowdown.. and everytime is getting worse (slowdowns closer in time)..

I tried everything, even formatting my computer and installing windows again and nothing changes but the amazing thing is that one of my flatmates has exactly the same model of laptop and he doesn't suffer this slowdowns with dolphin!!! so what i did is trying with other emus and games to see if is something with my computer (maybe bios??) but i don't get any slowdown like in dolphin with other apps!.. any idea??? does someone else have this problem?.

thanks in advance

Well, Dolphin is not perfect and it's still in development stages. List your PC specs and games you're trying to play.

I know and i wasn't worried until i check in the computer of my flatmate, same laptop model, same specs!... and he is not having this issue even with the same settings...

My laptop is a Samsung R70: corel 2 duo 2,4GHz and 4mb cache. Nvidia 8600go, 2gb of ram. I tried running it under windows xp and windows vista 64.
Games i noticed this: super mario sunshine, sumer mario kart, zelda wind waker...
I have a feeling that its related with a bios update i made long time ago... the thing is that i cannot go back to a previous version of the system bios so i will never ever know if this is the problem!.

I almost forget: i am one of this who get the message: "failed to grab 1 gb of continous ram" but i only get it the first time i run a new version of the emu, if i run it again it will not appear again.
