The Dolphin is Slower than before

[Nazgul1]

I don't know what happend but with the new build all of my games are much more slower than before.

What should I do to increase the fps in the settings of this build?

[Daemon487]

Perhaps it would be better to actually list the build you are currently using.

I suggest using Mamario's build. I'm using it and it's running Flawless in all the games i've tested.

Windwaker runs at a stead 50+ FPS

Give it a shot.

wel im guessing u r using 32-bit windows with d latest builds....
try r5033

I used 5037 x64 build, and with no offense implied, it was horrible. Using same configs with 4900+ builds, yet it resulted in almost 15 fps drop on average and many glitches.

Rather, I would stick with known reliable compilers such as Mamario or maybe orleans, than try experimenting too much with 'amateur' builds which are obviously broken or the source code has been improperly altered.

WOW Ocean, that statement came out very strong and could be taken in many ways. In a nutshell, you have stated something that could be taken like this:
Orleans and Mamario are "reliable compilers" while Spellforce, Xtreme2, maetal, the discontinued builds of whitezero and unknownforce are classified as "amatuer". Just wanted you to know to be careful on what you are saying because your statement is coming off very disrespectful. This gets even worst when you infer that these "amatuer" builds are "obviously broken" or use "improper source code".

Because the developers want compatibility and functionality first. Perfomance can wait some time. iAgree with it.

Bye.

Wait, I'm an amateur?

I've been in the emu-scene longer than most everyone here (About 5 years), am very knowledgeable in anything related to emulation, am registered and active at several emulation communities, I've been providing stable builds since around the time Dolphin became open source which is almost two years now, to top it off I run an emulation community of my own that has been around for over two years now and moderate/admin a few other emulation communities..

I'd say I'm more reliable and advanced than most/all the members providing builds here, wouldn't you? o_O

In response to the ops question, as the emulator progresses either one of two things are bound to happen. The emulator will likely become slower and more demanding of hardware as accuracy improved, issues are fixed, and new features are implemented. The second thing that can happen is the developers could find a way to optimize the emulator enough so speed isn't sacrificed for accuracy, a nice balance between speed and accuracy.

Give the developers time to optimize, still quite a bit of optimizations that can be done such as optimizing the vertex loaders, vertex caching, code cleanup and other bugfixes that are likely to have a positive impact on speed.

lol , The Orleans build are the most altered builds in all the forum xD. The builds that I know since ever in this thread are from Xtreme2damax, Orleans, unknownforce and the official/unofficial one from the page, I would offer my builds but I don't upload them very often, and the thing about the source code is that most of the compilers ( the new ones ) won't touch it unless they know what are they doing , and if they don't know dolphin won't compile at all. But I have to admit , maybe I am a "amateur" , I only modified the source code like two times with patches that I made ( only the last one with Xtreme2damax was succesful )

myspec : dual core 3ghz
2gb ddr2
ATHI HD 4670 1 gb ddr2

[GodRays]

"dual core 3ghz" isn't enough

We need company and processor model. If it's Intel get spellforce's 5115 build.

SSE4.1 for core2duo, SSE4.2 from i5/i7 I believe. Anyway, there isn't that much of a difference, the actual options are important.
