For your issue, there actually may be a way to fix the audio. You could try enabling the VBeam Speed Hack (Right click the game in Dolphin, go to Properties), or alternatively disable Idle Skipping. These two options for some reason let audio run as if you were emulating the GC/Wii CPU at fullspeed, though apparently not everyone has success with it. If that fails, try using the OpenAL audio backend and increase the Latency. Neither of these methods will fix the visual lag, however.
Also a possibility, buy the PAL version, dump it, then run it in Dolphin. The PAL version runs at 50 FPS natively, so if your PC can already handle NTSC versions at 50-55 on LLE audio, it should technically be able to run the PAL version fullspeed. Obviously, you'll have to open your wallet for this solution (unless you have nice Euro friends you can bum the game off of).
I currently have vbeam speed hack enabled and I havent disabled Idle skipping as it says it will give me a speedup. If i disable idle skipping will it slow down to less than 60 fps. Also should i disable idle skipping and enable vbeam speed hack at the same time or just one or the other?
