Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi guys, what do I need to run Mario Kart for the Wii with 4 players running at 60 fps? You can see my system specs below and it runs 1 player fine at 60 fps with maybe a hiccup here or there.
As I add more players to the game the frme rate drops 2p 40fps 3p 25fps 4p 17fps. I would really appreciate it if someone can help me out here, is anyone else playing 4p on mario kart perfectly? If so what are your system specs?

Operating System: windows vista 32bit SP1

Processor/CPU: Pentium Dual core E5200 O.C 4.0Ghz

Video Card/GPU: Nvidia geforce 9800

Memory/RAM: Patriot DDR2 800 3Gb

Dolphin Revision Currently Using:

3.0 716

Not even an i5 2500k @ 4.6GHz can run MKWii full speed with 4 players

Can you be more specific?
Can I get by with an i3 and what speed?

Nope, you need an i5-3570k @ 4.5GHz or more if you want to play MKWii fullspeed with 4 players. (But I doubt, that this is enough, maybe the clock speed must be higher...)

An i3 + 4 players... The game won't be really playable.

Anybody know what the Wii system has in it? It can't be all that powerful. Why is it that a computer cannot play the Wii games as well as a Wii?

Computer !=Wii

This is emulation

uhh, yeah but why can't the emulation run as smooth as the Wii?
I mean the Wii can't have a 4Ghz+ processor in it.

Read this.
This gives the best explanation for your issue.

Shitposting is for delfino plaza, enough with the lol-images ->

Edit: Apparently the url tags don't work correctly. Enclosing the url in brackets causes the url tages to be recognized but the brackets will be included in the url.

The game is built to drop the FPS down to 30 when you play with 3 or 4 players.
You can however force the game to run at 60, but as said before, you need a very fast computer to do that.
I'll check for you how much I drop with 4 players. Anyone knows which track is the most demanding?

There you go. Works perfectly fine.
