Hello.
I just started using Dolphin with sole purpose of playing Xenoblade to be able to stream it online.
New computer too that seems to run pretty much most of the new current-gen games.
The specs are on my profile, but anyway, I don't think I'm using the best emulator configuration to run it... because barely in the intro the game was running choppy and slow most of the time.
I'm using Windows 7 64 bits. I have 8 GB of RAM (2 of 4 GB) (Kingston 1333 GHz), GeForce GTX 650, all updated and ready. Computer built less than a month ago.
Can anyone help me with the right setup? Or is it just that even with all that the game won't run like it runs on the Wii?
I have a Wii and the original disc, but I have no means to stream it that way so I was hoping to use the dolphin for it...
Help please?
Use the same settings as Post #126 in
this thread then you will be fine
What about the rest of the setup? I leave at default?
By the way the audio became crap after I changed the configuration again. And for some reason when I tried going with LLE it gave me a failed to initialize DSP emulator error. Which is weird, because I did test the game WITH LLE checked before changing the setup just now...

With the build you're using (you wrote 3.5-367 in your profile) you can't use LLE without DSP dumps. If you're using Dolphin for the first time I suppose you haven't done that yet. So you can't have used LLE.
If you wanna use LLE either dump DSP files from your Wii, either use latest builds (a free DSP rom is provided).
Anyway if you use latest builds you shouldn't need LLE since sound issues have been fixed with new AX-HLE (2nd version).
To be short: try latest builds
Thanks. I downloaded the other version and the sound is perfect now.
The only issue I see is that the game has these weird 'trembling pieces' things popping in a thick line of the screen when there is too much movement/camera movement.
And there are a few freeze spikes in certain scenes.
I don't mind streaming it this way but is there a way to improve the performance further with my system specs?
You never told us what CPU you're using.
i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.60 GHz - This?
Edit: Ok, now the game decided to stop running the sound well. I tested from beginning up to the part where I gain control of Shulk and it was perfect. Then I ran the game again later and the sound suddenly got choppy before I even started Dunban's first tutorial fight.
Seems this choppy sound issues happens during specific parts of scenes and specific areas in the game...
Sorry for double-posting, I just thought it would get more immediate atention for this update I wanted to give on my situation:
I got rid of the HD textures, disabled the idling thing in the game's properties and did not enable LLE on thread
The game was running almost perfect. Minor issues that didn't bother me. Framerates great too. Then in a later scene the sound suddenly stuttered very very badly with some echo or something, and the scene froze. The emulator stopped responding too...
The same happened before when I had LLE on thread enabled just before this last test. But the echo-stuttering with freezing game came much sooner.
In both cases the suttering audio continued until the end of their respective cutscenes.
I'm almost giving up.
EDIT: I came across this link:
http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=5928 and realised this is exactly what's been happening to me.
And read this as one of the last replies before someone posted there the issue was resolved:
"I'll have to run more tests, but is it possible that the latest revisions "FIFO-BP" fixed this problem?
It may have fixed sound stopping entirely after a slight slow down in the Zelda GC games."
->What is this 'FIFO-BP'?

It's a side-branch of Dolphin. It was recently merged to Master branch

So theorically I shouldn't be having freezing issues then, right?
i'm assuming merged to 'master branch' means the latest release should have the fix (Which i'm using now but still freezing)
