Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello everyone!

I don't know why, but I am getting really bad performance in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. I have all graphical enhancements at it's lowest (1x native resolution, 1xAF, no AA, no widescreen hack, fast texture cache). On Pumpkin Hill the performance is the worst. There, I only get about 80% speed. The gameconfig file is default.

Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? My specs. are listed in my signature.

Which Dolphin revision are you using? 3.5, the latest development revision, or something else. If you're still using 3.0 like your profile says, try something newer.

I am using 3.5 stable.

How does the performance compare between 3.0, 3.5, and the very latest Dolphin development revisions? Does it get progressively worse the newer revision? Does it somehow get better with the latest? Fwiw, make sure you're using the official Dolphin revisions from http://dolphin-emu.org/download I haven't had any trouble with SA2:B at all so far on my end.

The latest development version has better performance, but it's still lagging. I am using official Dolphin downloads.

Post your settings (preferably as screenshots) so we can see everything you have set. Your i7-2600K shouldn't even break a sweat, since this game isn't very demanding.

Here you go.

Don't use XFB. You don't need this for this game

I flagged XFB off, in the config file, but didn't help the performance though. Also, unchecking it in settings didn't help either.

Try to use "VBeam" (click right on your game and go into Properties)
