Some games work, but others won't

Yesterday I aquired dolphin to play BMX XXX, I don't think I need to tell you all why, but I also got Tony Hawk Underground. The cutscenes are a bit weird and I think the sound lags behind the video. I can play Tony Hawk Underground, but BMX XXX won't load. It usually gets stuck just before the intro, but once it made it as far as the loading screen. Why can I play Tony Hawk Underground but not BMX XXX? And is there anyway to make Tony Hawk Underground run more smoothly?

Download programs like CPU-Z and GPU-Z, which will tell you exactly what kind of CPU and GPU you have, respectively. Additionally, in Windows 7 will tell you. Just hit the Start button, go to Control Panel -> System Maintenance -> System

Alright. I did that and updated my page. Just where do I find the ram? Is that somewhere in CPU-Z or GPU-Z?

A bad dump maybe. Have you tried to redump?

You can't expect too much with that CPU. What speed do you get?

It says I'm getting around 30-45% But I can still play it and see the frames updating. I can still play it, but cutscenes lag. How do I redump the game?

The game is rather demanding. You'd need to overclock for a better result.

The same way you did it the first time to get a copy of your game

thebagel264 · 02-21-2013, 04:16 AM #9

Do I need to get rid of the old copy first, or will the new one replace it?

**DefenderX** · 02-21-2013, 04:37 AM **#10**

You can just overwrite it.
