Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

i cba reading all thats goin on but dolphin on laptop for $1200 dollars or so is possible

my laptop is i5 2430m,6gb.nvidia gt540m, and xenoblade works fine, sometimes crash. but i think you should get better cpu, you want to run the games at full fps because its not acceptable playing a game at less than 95% its normal speed. xenblade is fine but other games, pandora's tower, mh tri, run fine until its slightly busy, then fps drops or stutters and it sucks.

I am running into a strange problem. The game keeps on stuttering randomly, freezing sometime for as long as 2seconds at random places. It happens specifically sometimes when a skill connects, or randomly while running around in towns, or in cut scenes. It is quite noticeable and spoils the game for me

I have tried about 4 or 5 builds, currently on the latest HLE hack build by lectrode and experiencing the same. I have tried numerous set-ups of compilers and audio and graphic settings, and searching for similar issues with no luck. The only thing that I happen to notice makes it stop is when turning my FPS limit completely off, then I get no stutters like that (unless I was just lucky while testing it), but then my games runs at 1.5-2x speed which isnt really viable. Once I enable any type of FPS limit, be it auto or 30 or audio, the problem comes back. I am completely clueless on this matter, any advice on this would be appreciated, as I am out of ideas.

Using a 30fPS patched iso

Specs:
Intel I7-2670QM 2.2GHz
8gb Ram
Nvidia GTX 560M 1.5GB
Windows 7 Ultimate

Anyone have any ideas on this? Driving me nuts, tried newest build with all settings on/off
