I've been looking at the Dolphin updates for about 10 months now, and have been patiently waiting for an update that would allow me to play games at full speed. The game that I primarily want to work is Super Smash Bothers Melee.
I am using the most current version, 3402.
My computer is as follows:
2.4 GHz Quad Core (Q6600)
8 GB RAM
Windows XP 64-bit
8800 GT (Alpha Dog Edition)
When trying to play SSBM, I get anywhere between 2-17 fps, even with Dual Core selected, 640x480 res (and lower with previous versions of Dolphin), 1x anistropic fliter, no AA, and Disabling all audio.
I have even Disabled Material Lighting, Texturing, Destination Alpha Pass, and Fog (one by one), just to see if it was that, and I could barely naivagte through the menus. Still very low fps.
I think it may have something to do with my CPU, b/c the core loads skyrocket to 100% and don't lower throughout the entire time the game runs.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Am I not choosing the correct options? Is it my video card, or my CPU.
I also, get these video errors where it looks as if someone selected a vertex on a model and stretched it across the screen, jumping everywhere. That may be a Video Card error, but I'm not sure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched through the forums and couldn't find anything that helped, so now I'm asking for direct help.
