Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

rev 6897
Still problems to hit the ball in TigerWoods11.
To be honest, i think the fps shown are not correct, means no speedup.
Sorry to who was working on it...

With 'Accurate VBeam emulation' - Framelimit to auto - LLE Audio

Windwaker & Twilight Princess' FPS locks at 15FPS/60VPS and shows 100%(but unplayable)

Same with HLE, but manually setting framelimit to 120 locks the fps back to 30FPS. (but shows 120VPS/200%)
With LLE, manually setting framelimit to 120 does the same but sound is very erratic and plays too fast.

Windows 7 Pro x64
Core i5 750 @ stock.

Radeon 5870

Can someone add vbeam to the dolphin config so i dont have to add the game to the game browser and go to properties everytime? that would be way more convenient then having to add the game just to check certain settings. as it would be under dolphin config.

With The Option "Disable accurate vbeam" enabled , i have sonic colors (PAL) at 35fps at gameplay even i set frame limiter to auto and enable audio throttle ..... it just gets unplayably fast sometimes
-- the music also is stuttering and a bit out of sync ...

Its Cool to play sonic super fast anyways

oh: i am using the lectrode's sse3 build 6890 x64

@Link_to_the_past: your opinion about including it into your revisions?

I was messing with the setting a couple of days or so and came to the conclusion that the way it is made, it can also create problems as a setting (the sound in the videos of some games is messed up for example). It is useful but enforcing it would be a little too much i think. If it didn't have obvious drawbacks i would even have considered putting it to use in the global game ini settings but it doesn't.

Disable VBeam Speed Hack (checked): Tested Sonic Colors NTSC using Lectrodes r6890 SS3 and I got a huge FPS increase, from my regular 20-25 FPS to a 30-45 FPS (in game). I have to limit the FPS at 30 or the game goes bunkers.


Dunno what this VBeam hack is but it surely makes a difference. I will make an update tomorrow after I test the rest of my games.

Dolphin r6888 X64, Super Smash Bros Melee (NTSC) speed up with Disable VBeam Speed Hack (unchecked)

Dolphin r6897 x64.

Sonic Colors (NTSC) D3D9 Plugin

Accurate VBeam Emulation Disabled. (12-13 FPS)


Accurate VBeam Emulation Enabled. (18-19 FPS)


About 6-10 FPS of speedup, nvm about the AA killing framerate, it was a 1 time thing.

The framerate is jumpy but far more enjoyable than before.

r6890:
Kirby's Epic Yarn (NTSC) also gets a 10-15 FPS boost with the hack checked, but it is not very stable since the FPS can heavily drop depending of the area, but that seems to be game related rather than the hack.

Sonic 4 while it gets a boost (hack checked), the audio slows down similar to how Twilight Princess's audio works in Hyrule Field.

Haven't tested the hack with the more CPU intensive games such as the Metroid games or Mario Galaxy since I don't have them, Sonic Colors is my most "intensive" game and the only one that didn't run at it's best, so being able to play it at stable 30fps is more than enough for me.
