Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi, I'm new on the forum and on using Dolphin too.

I've been trying to play Last Story on Dolphin 3.0-878.
At least on the first half an hour, I get 30 fps - 60 vps at 100%. So the game runs at normal speed but with low FPS.
But.. if I activate FPS limit, the games plays without problem at 60 fps, but the vps goes to 120, making the game run at 200%. It goes really fast this way, I can't even listen/read dialogues and fights go too fast.
As you can see, VPS are always the double of FPS. Is this supposed to be like this? Isn't there a way make both FPS and VPS the same?

I also tried the only other game I have, Samurai Warriors 3, the FPS are also half the VPS (the same thing happened to me in every other revision I tried, including some 2.0 ones). Though here there's only half FPS while in battle, while on menues and videos it's 60/60.

I've tried checking and unchecking many options, dual core processing, changing DX11 to DX9, etc, but there seems to be no change at all. The game still always running at 100% only with 30 FPS.

Thanks!

Wii/GC games are either :
_NTSC : 30 or 60 FPS
_PAL : 25 or 50 FPS

Yes , same FPS on the real console .

When you reach Lazulis city , your frame rate will go down (I guess : 20-25 FPS or even slower)

I see, well at 30 fps it's still pretty playable, I just thought I had a problem with my Dolphin config or something. Thanks!

25 or 30 FPS (0.5x50 or 60) means that game usin Progressive Scan. Its not an issue.
