I just built a new HTPC with the following specs:
I5-3570k, 8GB, 6850 1GB

I threw Mario Galaxy 2 up with 3x rendering, 1080p output, 4x AA and 16x AF. I was getting almost a constant 60fps with some slowdowns into the 40’s. I then turned AA off inside of Dolphin, set it to 2x in Catalyst Control Center and am now getting 60fps all the time. Watching task manager my 4 cores look to never get above 40%. I was shocked because I thought this game really hammered the CPU.

I then tried playing Link Crossbow. WHAT A DISASTER! Major lag when firing the crossbow and after a while I’m getting extremely delayed sound from the Wiimote to the point where if I stop firing the Wiimote will be making sounds for 5-10 seconds. It’s bad. Seeing how well Mario Galaxy 2 runs on this system leaves me a little dumbfounded that Link is playing so bad. Could this be a Bluetooth issue? The USB Bluetooth device I’m using was purchased off Amazon about 3 years ago and I paid like $3 for it. It’s a version 1 Bluetooth, which I read to buy. Here it is:

I also tried Wii Sports and that plays fine as well. Just really want to get Link Crossbow working so any help is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, even with games that it theoretically works for, the Wiimote speaker is not worthy of being listened to. I found it best to disable it by turning on 'Alternate Wiimote Timings' in the game's properties. With this off (and probably with it on too) I usually get fullspeed (with some slowdowns too). It should run at fullspeed for you too.
