Skyward Sword is the first game I've tried to emulate on Dolphin. So far I've got the game working and the Wiimote properly working, but there's one huge problem: the game is slow. When I first start it up it works fine, ~25 FPS (playable), but after a few minutes it drops down to <20 fps and the game speed goes to 60% or so.
Processor: Intel Core i7 2630 @2.00 GHz 2.00 GHz
Ram: 8 gigs
Video Card: nVidia 540M
Windows 7, 64 bit
I've looked on the forums and tinkered with the settings in almost every way possible. I've put it on lowest internal resolution, followed the SS configuration guide on the forums, followed the performance guide on Dolphin, disabled fog, etc. and so far the fps ALWAYS drops sooner or later. I've also tried "Lock Threads to Cores" w/Turbo Boost enabled but I got absolutely no differences.
I've had to conclude that my computer is just incapable or running Dolphin. Is this the case? I bought it recently (5 months ago) and was expecting to encounter no problems with it for a few years -_-
