Post more details of your PC and Dolphin settings you are using

umm to be specific 4gb ram ati radeon hd 512mb 3400 series gpu clock 594mhz memory 396 mhz

default clock 600 mhz memory 400mhz

and my emulator is going like 20-30 fps

Lol , I didn't understand Tongue

, Try giving info like I do in my signature

And tell us the game you are trying to run , or the region at least , because the normal speed of some games is 30fps , 50fps and 60 fps

Mine goes extremely slow as well I'm guessing it's my CPU tho I have:

MB: Gigabyte GA-8I945PL-G
CPU: Intel Pentium D 915 2.8ghz x 2 800mhz fsb 4mb cache
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 7600GT 256mb
Ram : 2 GB DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz
OS : Windows XP Pro x86

Yeah, it's your CPU, it's pretty weak for running Dolhpin at good speeds

Even if you got a really strong pc you will get about the same apparently. I got quad core 2.20 ghz, 5 gbs of ram, and a geforce 9400 1 gb, and I still get the same frame rate. It's just the emulator it's self apparently.

NO
Quads are good! But dolphin only recognizes 2 of your cores, Therefore making the emulation slow.
If you had a high frequency Quad I believe emulation would Still Be a Breeze

lol I know quads are good. And you just said it, it's the emulator. Wink

Hopefully with updates this will be taken care of one day. Most of the games I got run just fine, some even at 5-60 fps like sonic adventure 2 and mario kart DD. Mostly for me it's zelda TP that runs slow at times.
