On the surface the OS seems fine and I can run all my CPU and GPU stability tests without issue, but when I try to launch Dolphin I get a DLL missing error, and installing the according C runtime update to fix the error also fails.
So yeah, I'm not going to be able to confirm/deny whether 37fps on Sand Ocean in Dolphin 5.0 is accurate. However, I myself remember getting around 33fps or so on a nearly 3GHz Athlon 64 x2 on Sand Ocean around 5 years ago, so 37fps on a 2.7GHz Phenom II with Dolphin 5.0 sounds about right.
And with regards to how to make F-Zero GX run at 30fps and possibly even 45fps without any reduction in game speed, I believe you can just lower the value on the "CPU clock override" setting to something like 375MHz or 250MHz － just don't be surprised if that setting causes other issues.
Thanks, but the Vulkan thing seems to have fixed the vast majority of my speed issues. I've got a feeling once I get my new motherboard and CPU in I won't have any issues with speed for a long time, though I'll be the first to admit that I plan on upgrading to a more powerful CPU after a year or two, and a more powerful graphics card in the same time frame.
Not just for emulation.
