Should I be expecting bad performance?

Oh, set it to 4x native and seems a little slow but nothing less than 50 the majority of the time.

Maximum's are 99 and 100. Cool

100 degree Celsius ? Jesus ! That temp will cook your laptop components and your CPU will throttle . No wonder why you get poor performance on light-weight game

Anything higher than 85C is consider as overheating . 95-100C is critical condition , your laptop will take severe damage if you keep on playing for long

Yeah I just made a make shift stand and now the max seems to be in the high 80's max. Don't really know what else to do about it really.

Obligatory warning that I'm *really* tired of giving out: 3.5-367 is an old build that you got from an unofficial site. There are newer builds on the official site: http://dolphin-emu.org/download/

Yeah I noticed you post that on a lot of topics, however I got this version from that link, it says to download the most recent stable version, which is what I did.

The most recent dev build is fine too. It'll have perfect, non-broken audio on HLE (aside from stuttering if the game doesn't run at full speed), if you're a fan of that.

It is not what you did. The most recent stable version is 3.5 (with nothing behind) and you got 3.5-367. And the latest deveolpment version provided on "that link" is 3.5-1388 so in any way you're gonna be told to use a build that is more than 1000 builds old

You're right, my bad! Now using 3.5.

**pauldacheez** · 06-02-2013, 02:30 PM **#19**

No, no, download the most recent dev build. 3.5 stable is *older* than 3.5-367, and 3.5-13xx is the newest around and you should use it.

OK, now running 3.5-1389. Processor still not running anything over 65% when playing and speed will drop down to 70% frequently at certain areas.

Funny thing is is that if I have it on 1x native, or 4x native, I get exactly the same performance.

Temps are staying just below 90 with the laptop propped up, is the processor being throttled because it getting too hot?
