Request "Cpu clock speed = Max"

[Ivan89el]

This could improve performance, getting the most out of hardware. Something similar is in dosbox "cycles=max": https://www.dosgamers.com/dos/dosbox-dos-emulator/game-speed

DOSbox and Dolphin are totally different, so that's not something that can just be implemented. The closest thing Dolphin already has is the CPU clock override in Settings > Advanced > CPU clock override

I know about this, but I would like to auto-dynamically adjust to the power of the hardware.

Hold TAB.

Seriously.

TAB (the default binding anyway) undoes the emulation speed limit so Dolphin will run as fast as your CPU can handle.

Unless you mean dynamically adjusting CPU clock override depending on the performance of the computer so that it automatically increase depending cpu performence is there. Even it was possible (I can't imagine how hard that would be to put in dolphin) it wouldn't affect some games since there fps lock and run at the lock(usually) and the fact the CPU clock override essentially is like overclocking a gamecube\wii cpu which might break some games anyways.
For the record doing cycles=max in dosbox in it general can cause the same issues that removing the speed limit would in dolphin as some game was depended on a certain cpu performence and would run faster possible unplayable with faster cpu though this usually affect early 1980's dos games.

This would help games with variable fps, there are a lot of them and mostly multiplatform (NFS series, Splinter cell series, etc.). The idea is interesting but the implementation is really complicated.
