such lag

12-29-2018, 09:38 PM #1

Hello!

For reasons unknown, this dumbass emulator simply refuses to use any of my RAM, CPU or GPU performance and, as a result, is making SSBB absolutely fucking unplayable (<60fps with an unfortunate amount of lag spikes). Could someone please tell me how to make this program actually use my f i r e ass rig's resources? Thank you, and sorry for the headassery, I'm a basic bitch.

The Wii had 88MiB of total RAM. Dolphin itself is a tiny binary. As a Wii emulator there is nothing Dolphin can do with all your surplus RAM to make the game more performant.

The Wii also had a GPU that was ancient for 2006 and easily outperformed by a middle-end modern smartphone. As a Wii emulator there is nothing Dolphin can do with all your surplus GPU performance.

The one thing Dolphin can't get enough of is single-core CPU performance, but that doesn't solve the fact that seamless emulation is really hard.

With that being said, maybe you have a configuration issue, the game should run well.

Larryeedwards, please do not recommend forks unless that fork can address something specific that master cannot. And no, performance does not count.
