Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

i see well can someone give me a list of games that will run well with my current setup?

Boost your emulation speed by doing these steps:

1. Upgrade your operating system: Use a 64-bit OS (Windows 7 64-bit) and download the 64-bit version of Dolphin
(Windows XP + AthlonII/PhenomII/FX = bad performance)

2. You also need at least 2 GB of RAM to run Dolphin on a 64-bit OS
(1GB = LOL)

3. Enable 'Accurate VBeam Emulation' and 'Block Merging' in the game properties

4. Use the Direct3D9 backend and select a higher internal resolution (2x or 2.5x). Do *NOT* set the IR to the lowest setting (1x) if you have an ATI card or you'll experience FPS drops / stuttering in the later levels (!)

5. Use DSP HLE, XAudio2 output @ 48000Hz and set the framelimiter to 'Auto'

6. Use a recent GIT build of Dolphin

7. NOTE: 30 fps = 100% speed in this game

thanks i'll try it but before i do which version of dolphin should i use?

The latest GIT build from here::
http://www.dolphin-emu.org/download.html

i do have one problem tough.... i can't find audio throttle anywhere?

In the latest builds, you can enable throttling by setting the framelimiter to 'Audio' instead of 'Auto'

i'm gonna update to windows 7 64 bit then xd but can't someone develop a version that sends the proper instructions to amd athlon ii and phenom cpu's in the future?

You have no clue what you're talking about dude
AMD Athlon , Phenom II , Intel Core 2 duo , Pentium Dual Core are outdated CPU . What do you expect from them ?

Download the super fast version of Dolphin (3.0-441 64bit) from here:
http://www.dolphin-emu.org/download.html?list=4

* In the game properties, enable (full tick) Accurate VBeam Emulation and Block Merging
* In the Video settings window, select the Direct3D9 backend @ 2.5x internal resolution, set the framelimiter to 'Off' and disable VSync
* In the audio settings window, choose HLE audio, XAudio2 output @ 48000Hz.
Leave all other settings at default.

With this version and settings, even a 2.6 GHz AMD CPU is able to run this game at 30+ fps without audio glitches.

so basically i need a better cpu overall to run the emulator or just sonic colors?

if so can someone please give me a list of games that will work?

thank you
