Hi Dude,


I have a problem with the emulator, it's very slow and in some times it goes down to 20 FBS.

I actually play F-Zero GX (GameCube)

I don't know why it's very slow

can somebody help with this problem?
about the laptop features


CPU: Intel core i7 2.4 GHz QM
GPU: Nividia GeForce GT 555M 3GB
RAM: DDR3 8 GB
F-Zero GX is a hard to emulate game...
your cpu is just not fast enough for that task..
try revision 6505 if it helps a little
i7 2760QM ?
Check your CPU temp and CPU speed with "real temp"
Post your dolphin setting !
I don't think that there is a problem in the CPU because when I start the game it takes only 15% of the CPU and I don't now how to make the program uses the CPU more.

In the past I tried to play the game in a computer with a pentium 2.2 GHz and the game used 85% of the CPU.
I think this is what you want

Only 897Mhz when dolphin was running ?
I don't need benchmark ! I knew yours is powerful
Run F-zero and real temp at the same time then post your CPU speed , temp

Ok, i post my setting
I wasn't running the game when I made the test. Sorry


I think this picture might help
here is another one with the CPU Clock (2401 MHz)

it seems to me the processor is using one core only

The .ini may be set to use only 1 core.
no it's not


see the picture
Problem with Turbo Boost , i see
If it work , the clock speed must be 3.4ghz because dolphin only use 2 cores
Read more

Try forcing dolphin to use 2 core
the turbo boost is working perfectly

and I tried what you told me but nothing changed at all
it still uses 1 core
yes

yesssssssss

I figured out the problem

look at the picture

I want to say something for the emulator programmers: can you guys make the emulator run with more than 2 cores?
