Hey Mod you can delete this if you like, I have just seen a thread posted an hour ago about an issue with the game, although it doesn't seem to solve my problem, i just dont want to take up useless space.

It's most likely that your CPU is too slow, although I'm not aware of it being such a demanding game, so I'd expect more performance. Dolphin has only 2-3 main threads, so can't use all of your CPU's cores, and AMD processors aren't great for single threaded performance.

Seems he has abandoned this thread, maybe he'll be back since it's been replied to.

It is

Then there's your problem.

Thank you all for your replies. So what are my options? I mean i could overclock to 4.0ghz but i dont think their would be too much of a speed up?

I think you should OC it to 4.6GHz (if it's possible)
In Dolphin Benchmark , FX 8150 @ 4.6GHz is a bit slower than i5 2500k @ 3.3GHz (stock)
Btw , right-click the game - properties - Tick "Vbeam Speed Hack" to increase to FPS

This game isn't demanding. I was able to run the game full speed throughout, but only when using the "Vbeam Speed Hack". You can find that option by right clicking on the game and selecting "properties". I've completed this game not too long ago with my processor overclocked to 2.4GHz, so your CPU isn't an issue for this game.

gpu bottlenet!

your gpu too old need to upgrade least cheap performance gpu hd 6670 1gb ddr5 or hd 7750 1gb ddr5 or gaming gpu hd 7770 1gb ddr5

lower IR the better the performance overall

The HD 4870 is fine for most games at 3x IR and even 4x IR. The OP has set IR to the the window size (1920x1080 in fullscreen) which as actually smaller than 3x IR (1920x1584), plus there're no enhancements (AA or AF) being thrown into the mix. It's probably not a GPU bottleneck.
