Speed Issues

[tylerbv]

First, I would like to say that I am not a programmer, and have very little knowledge and experience with emulators.
My question is: how do you obtain a steady, quick, normal speed? I tried playing Luigi's Mansion, and It was fat at first. Then the FPS went to 60 for a second before returning to numbers like 3 and 7. It was painfully slow, so I closed it. I have already followed most suggestions from websites that say how to obtain higher speeds, but none of them work. Is there anything I can do to make it playable?
A side note: I have the Dolphin 2.0 that is given from the emulator zone.
Thanks!

try getting newer version ( the Dolphin svn builds)
latest is r6124 @http://www.dolphin-emu.org/download.html

It would help to post specs.

First you need to download the latest rev with the most compatible version of it for your comp/laptop.

After that you need to customize the graphics plugins and options in order to best tune it for performance/visual fidelity (you really always to to be at 100% game speed). This part is trial and error as most games respond slightly differently.

Otherwise, it is all based on your system specs; if your comp/laptop sucks then there is not much you can do, sorry.

If your computer can run Crysis, it can run Dolphin. If not, sucks for you.
