Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I am new to this community, so if I put this in the wrong section dont hate

Basically, I am trying to run Zelda the Windwaker on Dolphin. The game runs fine, but for some reason it is running very slow. Hopefully it is not my computer.. I am using the performance settings listed on the dolphin wiki, and have spent over 4 hours looking for a solution to this, but I couldn't seem to find a cause.

Computer Specs:

AMD ATHALON Dual Core Processor 5050 e

2.6 GHZ

RAM: 4 gb Ram

64 Bit

There is no need to use large text, I will edit your post accordingly.

SPEAK LOUDER WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Also what gpu do you have?

ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics.

And sorry about the font

Yeah that's too weak. You need a decent video card. Normally I would say your cpu is too weak as well but WW is one of the few games that can run ok on an athlon X2 with the right settings.

Know where i can find these settings? I have checked all over the forums and nothing has been helping.


Btw, this might be helpful. Atm it's running at 18 fps. I'm only 12 off of normal speed

Lets see your settings again, maybe you made a mistake or missed something

Here they are

I am also finding that the speed of the game works fine indoors, but it slows down when I go back outside. And for some reason the third picture is glitched..lol

Fewer textures indoors so the gpu does less work and its faster, but everything looks okay, just try EFB copies to RAM and texture cache accuracy to fast, if it still dosent work right click on windwaker click properties and lets see the image of the window that comes up

EFB copy to RAM is going to be slower, why should he use that? Leave it on texture.

Check off, skip EFB access from CPU and uncheck audio throttle. Re-enable lighting.
