So I am trying to play Sonic & Tales All star racing on dolphin. The dolphin wiki demands EFB to RAM setting to make menus appear properly. But even with that, menus will only appear properly on the D3D11 graphics. Also, sound doesnt work without LLE. LLE + D3D11 + EFB to RAM = 34% Emulation speed. Help? ARe there any settings I can change to make it run how it should?
Specs:
Intel Core i7 3930K 6-core OC 4.6GHz
32GB DDR3-1600MHz Quad Channel RAM
Overclocked Sapphire Radeon HD 7970
Crucial M4 128GB SSD
Running revision 766. Any suggestions?
So is it working properly with those settings or not?
Have you tried using LLE on thread?
Oh it plays.... at 34% speed... yes LLE is on thread
Post your full settings. If a game requires slow settings for proper emulation there really isn't anything that you can do about that.
Don't overreact and be obnoxious about everything. It is funny sometimes, but it might get you into trouble eventually.
Try using manual IR instead of Auto. Also, try 3.0 since it tends to be faster than the recent revisions.
The wiki doesn't say anything about LLE. Are you sure you need it?
I only did that because I know NaturalViolence. You should see how I am when we talk on IRC....lol..... anyway... Whats manual IR, and why would 3.0 be better??? I thought the versions were supposed to get better as time went on... I dont understand
The versions do generally get more compatible as time goes on (although some times there are issues where compatibility is broken temporarily), but they also get slower. 3.0 is compatible with the vast majority of games and is much faster in my experience than most of the recent git builds, like 3.0-766.
Manual IR is something like 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x. It is usually better than Auto.
Try it out with 4x IR and HLE and see what you get.
I have to go to sleep now, so ill have to help you in the morning (if someone else can't help you further right now).
Im not sure where Manual IR is... also... could i get away with D3D9 instead of 11... i know that would make a huge difference... also... so would efb to texture instead of ram... Where is manual IR... as for HLE... i tried with HLE and the audio was just distorted nothingness...... what settings do you think I should havE??
Use Dolphin 3.0 and these settings: d3d9, 3x internal resolution (it's in the same place as Auto - multiple of 640 x 528), EFB->RAM with Enable Cache, check Disable EFB access from CPU. That is as good as it will get I would think as far as your settings go.
