Hello.

I know about the rules, so I know outdated/unofficial builds are unsupported. But my doubt is not about support (I hope, this is why I'm posting in this sub-forum).

I was starting to try an ancient build from the unofficial branch for playing Zelda SS with emulated motion plus through keyboard/mouse (3.0-r261-dirty, I think...). I never actually got to make a conclusion due to the issue I stumped with. On Windows 7 64bit I remember it had not much speed issues; it could be playable enough at least in that regard. But I upgraded to Windows 10, and after this first couple of minutes worked normally, then after that it *always* massively slowed down to non even playable. Restarted Dolphin, always same behavior no matter if changing graphics frontend or having nvidia drivers up to date.

It was sad indeed.

My only question is, is it common by chance for outdated builds to stop working in some way with newer Windows versions?

Thanks beforehand.

Sounds like maybe your computer isn't sustaining high performance mode anymore. Mae sure that both Windows power management and your GPU power management are set to high performance.

Did same test on a desktop (still an old one, but with slightly better intel cpu and nvidia card) which underwent a clean Windows 10 installation. Very same results: first couple of minutes with even 2 or 3 more fps than first rig, then again massive unplayable slowdown.

Again, I'm not asking for support, but I'd keep the original question.

Thanks again.
