Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Like/love Super Mario Galaxy?
Have heard that you have to set your sound engine to LLE to fix many music issues?
Got tons of lags because of LLE?
Can't buy a better CPU/computer?

Then this guide is for you!(at least it worked to me)

1.Open Dolphin.
2.Right-click on SMG and click on "Propeties" and enable those options:
-Dual Core
-Accurate VBeam Emulation
-Speed Up Disk Transfer Rate
-Widescreen
-Alternate Wiimote Timing
3.Go to "Graphics" menu and enable those options:
-Backend Direct3D 11
-Internal Resolution set to Auto
-Scaled EFB Copy
-Ignore Format Changes
-EFB Copies set to Texture
-External Frame Buffer set to Virtual
-Mark all options in "Other" frame
Progressive Scan

You should get at least 22-30 FPS when using that guide.If that guide wont help you don't spam with something like "OMG YOU SAID THAT THIS GUIDE WILL WORK". If that guide wont help you either enter BIOS and edit some opotions (more info soon) or buy new CPU.

EDIT: Because of some misunderstandings about "Other" option I send screenshots.

Breaking stuff is meant to speed things up quite a bit

Sorry but what you mean?

When using i5-3570k @ 4.2 Ghz nothing of this is needed, even the heaviest config is enough to get full speed lol.

Haven't you read the first post?!This is a guide for pepole who CAN'T buy a better hardware!

I don't know what "Other" frame means (I think you mean Advanced) but if you mark everything there you'll end up with wire frames lol.

What are wire frames?

Graphics > Hacks > Other. Stuff like Cache Display Lists and OpenCL/MP Texture Decoder, y'know?

A bunch of lines that outline the 3d shape of a model in the game. If you want to see what it looks like, the setting is under Advanced.

I suppose he means Graphics/Hacks/Other and not Graphics/Advanced.

It's interesting to notice he didn't really use the "VBeam trick" since Idle Skipping seems to be off.

Btw is it really playable with 50% speed?
