Wii game - emulation always on 33% speed

09-29-2012, 02:58 AM #1

Hello everyone. I maked account here because of my problem. I can't make topic in category games problem so I post here. The problem is "Alving and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" game. The emulation on menu and character customization is perfect 100% speed. The problem is after loading song and start to play. The game speed is 33% (around 20 fps). The sound is playing in normal speed but Characters are moving in slow motion. The counting HUD is in slow motion too, and characters moves are slowed and not match with HUD of moves. This make the game completly unplayable and unrecordable. The speed is always the same no matter of settngs (Tryed DX9 and OpenGL) and lot of different graphics settings. No matter of emulator version and settings, the max speed I can get is always the same. Using the x64 latest version of emulator on x64 Windows. Windows games works fine. I have latest drivers. While amulating the processor using is 50% and grapfics card 10%.

It's probably your hardware. Dolphin is only a dual-core application when using HLE audio, so you won't see 100% CPU utilization on your quad-core Phenom. 50% means Dolphin is working your PC as hard as it can. I think this game is one of the surprisingly demanding Wii titles to play. You'll need to OC to see any major improvements. To get fullspeed, you'll likely need a faster CPU.

You can try these speed settings on the last official release, Dolphin 3.0 (that's just 3.0 with no additional numbers). You might see some improvement using both 3.0 and those settings.

Lastly, PC games and emulation are two different ballparks. Often, they will use your PC's resources in very different ways, so it isn't fair to compare the two. That your PC runs modern PC games fine is not a guarantee that it will do well with Dolphin.

Sorry, but I don't really understand the content of your post.

What do you mean with x32? (Maybe 32-Bit?).

I have same problem with this game speed 33% (on menu more than 100%) (limiter turned off) cpu usage 50% gpu usage on menu is 25% after loading song gpu usage drops to 10% and game speed to 33% i think problem is in emulator not the computer.

Sorry for my bad english if it is bad.

Then i must buy gaming PC maybe with core i7 and good graphics card. But i still dont understand why this game works on every computer same (i tested this game on my friends computer and my old computer) games like fatal frame 4 alvin and the chipmunks 1 and 2 works 100% speed on this computer.
