Below is what I've concluded thus far:
WindWaker/ SoulCalibur 2/ Twilight Princess are all NTSC games.
Windwaker runs at 30fps, twilight 30 fps, Soul-calibur II 60fps.
For both Dolphin 3.0 & 3.5 I have set:
- DX9 Decode
- HLE Audio (Default)
- (Set FPS limit on 60FPS)
1) Soul Calibur 2 runs at 60 FPS (100 Speed) as it should, with no issues-
- Both Dolphin 3.0 and 3.5, perfect.
- My GC .RAW save-games always show and load.
2) WindWaker
- 3.5 Dolphin runs beyond 30fps, (averaging 44-49fps @ 177-189 Speed, for me this is hyper-fast.)
- 3.0 Dolphin runs perfect, steady 29-31FPS @ 100 Speed.
- My GC .RAW save-games always show, and 9-out-of-10 times, won't load, from previous 3.0 on 3.5. ( I get a Black-screen, this is probably due to sporadic FPS speed for all I know.)
*** UPDATE*** When my game managed to luckily load for 3.5 Dolphin, Pictobox still freezes for 2-5secs per-snapshot,
(Looks like there's no point in even upgrading to 3.5? At least for the (2) games I enjoy.
)3) Twilight Princess
- 3.5 Dolphin runs beyond 30fps, (same as above, 42-49- 177-189 speed.)
- 3.0 Dolphin runs perfect, steady 29-31FPS @ 100 Speed.
- My GC .RAW save-games always show, and load from previous 3.0 on 3.5.
I love the Dolphin Emulator and I have it to only replay my favorite Gamecube titles, windwaker/ & twilight princess... occasionally, Soul Calibur II. (I would play Metroid Prime, but I can't stand the 50-60fps lag/hiccups that occur so often throughout that game.)
Some other stuff I noticed on Dolphin 3.5.
DX11 and OPENGL don't make a difference. (DX9, DX11, & OPENGL all run the same for me.)
- I use the same graphic-settings and x3 multiplier settings. No AA, and or AF is 1x.
- Soul Calibur II is a perfect steady 60fps.
- Windwaker is 44fps+, 150+ speed.
- Twilight Princess also 44fps+ 150+ speed.
3.5 Dolphin is just funky with my fav titles... =(
