Hello,
I've been using Dolphin 4.0 since around the day it was released, and had little to no issues running games like Smash Bros Brawl at a perfect 60fps at 3x resolution... up until a couple days ago.
Mysteriously, without having changed any settings, (the only one changed from default is the internal resolution) Brawl and many other games began to have notable slowdowns to anywhere from 20-45fps. I've tried looking for a root cause, and I can tell it's not my laptop, as all other games and emulators I have run just fine. I can only assume something went wrong with Dolphin. Yet despite several reinstalls and updating to 4.0.2 as well as trying the current dev version (689), the issue persists. I'm even noticing some slight framerate drops at the native resolution.
It could possibly also be a driver update screwed with something Dolphin-related, but I really doubt that's the case. I'm not sure I have a way to roll back to a good configuration if that is the case. I'm still testing a few things, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.
EDIT: Not sure if it's worth noting, but I've only listed the Intel Integrated graphics in my system specs because that's all Dolphin recognizes. My laptop also has an nVidia NVS 5400 card in it, but I've yet to figure out how to make it work with Dolphin.
