Title says it all. Yea, I do have a lower end system, but still I thought I'd be able to run games like maybe Wind Waker and Twilight princess. So is it my specs? (specs are in sig I believe) Sorry, I'm not that savvy with this kind of stuff. I've tried to do as much research as possible and it doesn't seem that I can find a direct answer without posting my own question.
So far what I've gotten, is that you could have a quad core clocking out at over 3ghz and Dolphin could run horribly. And you could have a dual core around the same clock rate, but it'd run ten times better.
I understand that PC games and emulators are not the same, but given the fact I've been able to run Fallout 3 on medium settings at a consistent 35FPS, that I'd be able to ATLEAST run most earlier GC games. I'm really not all that interested in running Wii games, it's just my GC broke and I never got around to playing ZTP, so I really wanted to play it. And figured this would be a good idea.
Basically what happens is, I'll start out at about 34FPS when I first start running around and stuff, and it's running smooth. Then after about 10 minutes, frames just start plummeting. Now, in the start menus and other menu areas I get a full 60FPS and when I'm indoors (even with people and alot of things going on in the background) FPS jumps up. Basically the problem is I can't find a happy medium at all. I'm not looking for supreme quality graphics with 60FPS, just want to play at an at least somewhat consistent 25-30FPS. I it possible? Sorry to be a bother, I just need some help. As of right now my configuration on Dolphin looks EXACTLY like this video describes. http://youtu.be/Si03H2AlDfE (sorry don't know how to make screen shots.) Thanks in advance guys.
Nevermind, my specs AREN'T in my signature, they're on my profile, my apologies.
