This NTSC GC game is fully playable at fullspeed on both of the computers in my sig, but there are two rooms that produce really low fps when entered.
1) The first room that has major slowdown is on the first floor around the corner from one of the item boxes and is the room where the broken shotgun is located and is also where one of the karosene containers is inside the mansion. When you move over to the desk (where the ink ribbon is), the game slows down dramatically to 1 fps.
2) The other room that is extremly slow is the room where the dog whistle is located. This room has two doors that both lead to it. One of the doors is by the stairway where the giant chandelier is, the other door is next to where you find the wooden mount. Once you enter this room the fps also drops down to 1 fps.
I have gotten through the entire game and I get 90-100% speed throughout except for these two rooms where something is causing major slowdowns.
I've tested with Dolphin SVN R6200 32-bit and many newer and older builds with the same results. Obviously there is someting majorly wrong here since the entire game plays normally until you get to these two rooms where there is no logical reason to expect the fps to drop down to a crawl at 1 fps when the rest of the game plays nearly flawlessly. Maybe someone can look into this to see what might be going on here.
