Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

According to the threads I've read i meet all the requirements to play most games pretty well, but I still lag pretty badly on everything i've tried. (fzreo gx pokemon xd, kirby air ride, sonic 2 battle)
i've tried tinkering with the settings and nothing seems to work, am i doing something wrong?

Your cpu is too slow.

For F-Zero GX and Pokémon XD at least

F-Zero GX and (possibly) Pokémon XD run slowly on everything but an overclocked i5 3570K, but the other two should be running fine. Post your settings, eh?
