Twilight Princess Help

TempZz · 02-08-2015, 10:23 AM #1

Hello! This question has probably been asked, so much. But I'm new here and I seriously dont know how the forums work. I am probably posting this in the wrong area of the forums and if I am, I apologize in advance!

Anyways, I have been playing on the Dolphin Emulator for a long time, (Roughly a week. Not that long, but still! XD) mostly on Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker and Super Smash bros Melee and occasionally on Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GCube version) But recently, its been lagging quite allot. On both Legend of Zelda's. I'd be getting 31 fps, perfectly then it will drop and be abysmal, sometimes 11 fps maximum. I dont know if its my hardware or not, but whenever im in the Twilight Area of ANYWHERE in Twilight Princess, my frames will be terrible. And when im outside on Wind Waker, it will be horrible too, I know in Twilight and some areas of Wind Waker, the FPS is known to be terrible, but in Twilight Princess I am only in Kakariko Village: Twilight. And throughout most of the game, I had steady 31 fps. I dont know if i changed a setting by mistake or if it's my hardware, please can someone help it would be GREATLY appreciated! Blush

PS. My Hardware is on my profile, but if you would like. I dont mind posting my Hardware on this post! Big Grin

Are you using the lates dev build from here: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ (4.0-5420 as of writing)?

And for TP, have you enabled the new speed patch?

I didnt really look at that due to me using a Computer not a Laptop. I didnt think it really applied, should I still have a look at it?

Also! I forgot to add this, i dont actually play LOZ TP in fullscreen resolution (1440x900) Because I watch youtube videos in the background (Hate sitting in silence) And I've done this since day 1. Perfect FPS In Twilight Princess but now all of a sudden it doesnt work?

Side note: I played LoZ TP earlier for about 10 mins to see if the problem was still there, It wasnt. I had good FPS but had to go out so i thought i was in the clear. Upon returning and booting up LoZ TP. The FPS was back at 11.

It says laptop but it can apply to all computers.

How would you be sitting in silence if you're playing a game?

Can you post pictures of your settings?

Of what exactly, Graphics or Config or both? And when I mean silence, I meant not hearing voices. Weird I know XD I dislike just hearing only game sounds and not other people voices. And with LoZ its basically just silence except for link HYAAAAH. HYAAAAAAH. Everytime i press A. So I either listen to music or watch a video side by side the game. Just makes me feel better when gaming.

Also, just need to add a little edit. This morning before i went to school, I play Legend of Zelda TP. It had worked FLAWLESSY WITHOUT LAG. I thought that it would be working, I just got home from school and loaded up LoZ TP. Now doesnt work, and Wind waker is also lagging too.

Have you tried doing a full shutdown, loading no other extra programs, and then running Dolphin?
