Quote:Is there any way to make this game faster? Like any specific settings?

Post your settings. Maybe something to change...

btw. Did you try step 4 of my answer?

I did that just now and it seemed to have made it slower xD

Yes I have and my Core temps are. (shifting but about this all the time)

Your temps are too high!

You need a better CPU cooler and the thermal compound Arctic Coolng MX-4. Your temps are horrible, over Tj. Max! >.<

That computer needs to not be used until you fix the cooling issues.

Is there no software for lowering them? (probably not huh?)
Can it have something to do with that I set that "Overclock CPU" setting to max? (minumun 6 max 8 maybe I should have gone with 7)

What would I do without it? xD (if I use it on the other hand maybe it will break and I will be without it after all.. what a dilemma.)

You could probably get away with using it for web browsing, but you should never use Dolphin or do anything very demanding with it until it gets fixed. Personally I would disassemble it and clean the fan and redo the thermal paste, but it's very involved and you shouldn't attempt that if you don't know what you're doing.

Edit: Just saw that you were overclocking, don't do that if you're getting those temps.

He didn't seem to get the same issue when playing TOS and Baten Kaitos though

I have a problem. Yesterday I was playing this and it was running perfectly and was getting 60 frames constantly. Now I tried playing it but I only get 10 fps tops but it the menus its still around 60. Is there a fix for this? Is it just the ISO im using?


Btw i'm using a iMac

What do your Dolphin settings look like? Click the Config button and look at the General tab. Also, click on the Graphics tab and look at the General, Enhancements, and Hacks tabs. These are usually the most relevant settings we need to know. Post them as plain text or screenshots.

Does the drop to 10 FPS happen consistently, like every time you launch Dolphin? Does it continue to drop regardless how long you let the game run? It could always be that your computer just needs to reboot for whatever reason (operating system stuff, it happens). If you think your dump is bad, it might not hurt to redump it as well.

Hi, I always get between 50~60 fps on mario kart playing with 4 people... but that it's not the issue (I tell it so nobody thinks I'ts a specs issue)
the issue is that when you try to "dash" (pressing L or R) after 2 o 3 seconds, the game will cancel the dash for half a second, enough to make you to fail a turn.

I use XBOX 360 wired and wireless controller, both have this issue, tried changing between opengl, directx, settings, gcpad threshold, but none should help. I will try to post a video.

Also, im using defenderX ICC optimized builds.
