Hi guys,

I m trying to improve my performance for Mario Party 9 and Zelda Skyward Sword, but cant reach acceptable performance.

Mario Party 9:
Speed: 50-61

Zelda:
Speed: 50-70

I´m using a Laptop.
Intel® Core™ i5 Prozessor
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
8GB Ram
Win 7 64bit

My Settings are:
Dolphin hashless 3.0.704
General: Dual-Core & Iddle Skipping activated
Audio: DSP HLE Emulated, xAudio2, nothing else

Graphics:
Direct3d9, Fullscreen resolution: 1366x768

Hacks: Ignore Format Changes, Texture, External Frame Buffer disabled, Fast Mipmaps, no fog, Cache Display List, OpenMP, nothing else (EFB Copies is not activated)
Enhanced: Nothing activated

Some suggestions?

I would really apriciate your help!

Thanks in Advance!

Which i5 processor is it exactly?

Intel® Core™ i5 CPU M450 @ 2,40GHz.
Boost up to 2,66GHz automatically.

You won't get fullspeed in skyward sword as your processor is too slow, especially for the demanding parts.

hmm. Do you have some suggestions for games that would be supported by my laptop? What do you think about Mario Party 8 - 9, super mario galaxy, zelda twilight, sonic colours or smash brothers brawl?

Mario Party 8 & 9 : slow but playable
Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 : not playable
Zelda TP : playable except some slow parts
Sonic Colors : not playable
Super Smash Bros Brawl : slow but playable

No way will super mario galaxy work.

I think super smash brothers brawl isn't very demanding, but your processor is fairly slow, so may not be good enough.

I'm not sure about the others in your list.

Zelda games only stay at 30 frames per second if it went to 60 it would be unplayable meaning to fast to control

Anyway 30 fps is what you're supposed to get in Zelda games
