Specific Configurations For My PC (Metroid Prime)

03-10-2018, 10:09 AM #1

More or Less that is it. Given specs of my PC can anyone help me best configure dolphin to run the Gamecube USA version of Metroid Prime?
I have looked for other configurations and tried them, and even adjusted the settings slowly but after three weeks of trial and error I still get Audio Crackling and sometimes giant frame skips (or if it is really bad pausing).
Thanks in Advance! Any small tips would be much appreciated as well!

Are you running it at native resolution on the latest dev build of Dolphin?

You are trying to run a quite demanding game on an 1GHz low power AMD APU made for tablets (Previous gen AMD on its own is way slower for emulaton but 1GHZ?) There is nothing we can do.

Yes, I checked and unless something new came out three days ago this is the latest install. And Yes I am running at Native Res.

You're trying to run a very demanding to emulate game on a very, very low end CPU. There is nothing you can do beyond getting a new PC.

Your CPU was low end on release, it's pretty much irrelevant today.
