Hey guys i have just started using this emulator today and i am loving it. But when playing epic yarn my speed went down to about 66%. It feels like everything is in slow motion. It was fine for the first level but ever since it has been at about 66%. Any ideas why?

Do you have efb copy set to texture?

I would appreciate it if you could tell me which revision you're using and what settings.

Try disabling audio throttle...
Until you give me a readout of the settings you are using I cannot help you any further.

Also i tried truing off audio throttle and it didn't help.

1. Try the jitil recompiler

2. Try turning off efb scaled copy

3. Try an older revision like 5186.
Just turn off "lock threads to cores" that should give you a nice boost.
