Specs:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.20ghz
Windows 7 64bit
4GB RAM
Ati Raedon 6850

I can run all games like BFBC2 and Call of Duty on ultra settings at 60fps+ but this Wii Emulator is just not running games as smoothly.

When I play Super Mario Galaxy, it will get to the first level and it says 30fps and it's all slow and sound is weird.

Help please Smile Thanks Smile

Well I'm sorry some of us have an i7 processor but this is what I got so Tongue But it must be strong enough if I'm running retail games at high FPS on highest settings.
Had a fiddle round with settings, improved it a tad, some scenes are a bit slow tho :/

some of us don't have an i7 either but are smart enough to know that Dolphin needs more power than a standard PC game.
and no, a retail game is NOT a good enough comparison to Dolphin.

Deal with it.

retail games are running natively on a x86/x64 system
wii games are running natively on a power-pc cpu

every system call needs to be translated between power-pc <-> x86/x64 system

thats why heavy cpu power is needed...
for 60fps on a sandy bridge system is 3.5ghz to 4.5ghz++ needed
an amd system needs above 4ghz++
they are in this heavy emulation task's 30-40% slower...

on natively tasks they are truly nearly the same
EDIT by neobrain: that pic was kinda annoying..
EDIT by dannzen: don't fuck with my sig Dodgy
EDIT by neobrain: yet, I will keep doing it Tongue
