Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I recently bought a new PC and decided to use some of my Wii games on it to play them in HD, however, despite receiving constant 60 FPS on the Dolphin counter there's bad slowdown. The two games i've tested so far are SSB Brawl and Melee, is this just the emualtor or is it configuration issues? Heres some screenies.

















Operating System: Windows 7 X64
Processor/CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k Ivy Bridge 3.4 GHz
Video Card/GPU: ATI HD 7970 3GB
Memory/RAM: 8 GB Mushkin
Dolphin Revision Currently Using: 3.0


All help is appreciated, if this has been answered before sorry for time wasting.

I tried this before, I could deal with it looking worse but it still happens.

my knowing is not so good but you can try a right click at the game and choose some settings.. maybe it's faster then

The Thing that's confusing is that Dolphin is reporting it's running at 60 FPS with no drops, if my computer isn't poweful enough I don't mind.

no i think your PC is powerful enough .. but sorry i can't help there .. maybe you have to wait for other comments ..

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, your computer is VERY fast , try setting the frame limit to 70 FPS

5400rpm HDD is probably what caused this slowdown.

Nope, the HDD is not the problem. I have a 5.400rpm - No slowdowns. The problems is (in most cases) the CPU.

I've got an SSD, will try to play it off of that to see if it makes a difference. As for the CPU I only bought an i5 as I figured I wouldn't need an i7, thought it'd be overkill.
