Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

dataram actually does help for comps with slow hdd speed like mine

and gamebooster isn't needed if you use blackvipers website and tweak your services

EDIT: when i normally get 90% average low being 80% and max is 95% when fighting on dragonball z budokai 2 without ramdisk

with it i get 110-120% average and low 105% and max is 140% when fighting with ramdisk

so ram disk helps alot on slow hdd comps (5400 rpm)

added option 8!!!!!
SPEED COMPARISON (Using DBZ2):

without any of these options the speed = 70% low/80% avg/ 90% high

with all of these options the speed = 110% low/125% avg/ 140% high


and i can even play wind waker now at 85% speed avg on my laptop! so this goes to show that just because you have a low end comp there doesn't mean there isn't hope for your comp and dolphin!

Man this guide is just awesome, congrats you did a very good job, this will solve a lot of noob threads, lol

everyone do the noobs a favor and just forward them to this thread when they are looking for speeding up dolphin and other topics like that lol

Sure, as it will do my patience a favor as well lol

undervolt? i haz my cpu overvolted by .3v and overclocked by 800mhz!

For option #7 how much RAM is enough?

just overclocked my cpu to 3.2 and undervolted a lil and have smg running 60fps in the observatory its a beautiful thing.

strange. when u overlock, you should be overvolting. have you ran a stress test on your system to make sure it is stable? the last thing anyone needs is a hand grenaded os because windows corrupted a system file due to erroneous cpu data. so, i would recommend using hyperpi or something of the like to test the cpu's integrity at increased speed with decreased voltage.

Yeah I was trying to make full use of my ram since it was only running at 1333mhz. moved my bclk up to 160 so I could set my ram at 1600 mhz and saw on some site some1 did the same while putting their vcore to 1.2

I only changed my vcore from 1.26 to 1.2 and played a bunch of games and all seems fine. lazy I know but I might go through this guide and do it properly when I can be bothered.
