This one rom is my main issue at the mo.
When I play this rom on an older build (5.0-6598 to be exact) - Sims runs pretty smoothly. It doesn't drop frames in the beginning cutscene of the dream sequence or when paused. Runs great! Runs on its default settings and then even after beefing them up a bit.
But when I try on the newest builds (currently 5.0-8370) - its super slow as molasses. And no amount of fiddling with my settings seems to change that?
I keep feeling like its somewhere on Dolphin I gotta work with but I'm really not that smart and don't know what changes what unless I go through some tiring trial and error.
