So I'm messing around with Dolphin on linux Ubuntu x64 (dolphin 3.5) and it runs surprisingly well. Zero lag, zero graphical or audio errors. Nothing. I can also achieve a max FPS of about 75.
This is a stark contrast to the windows 7 x64 dolphin (dolphin 3.5-367) where the audio would sync ahead of the game-play during every cut scene. Also on windows I can barley get up to 55fps.
I've tested Wind waker, Paper Mario, and Sonic Adventure 2 battle.
So I'm wondering; why is there such a large performance difference between windows and ubuntu? You'd think that since windows is able to run the latest version of dolphin it would preform better... Apparently not.
Comp specs:
processor~AMD FX 4100 OC to 4.2GHx
Video card~Sapphire Radeon 6670
RAM~PNY XLR8 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (in dual channel)
MB~MSI 970A-G46
