Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I was playing New Super Mario Bros. yesterday at a steady 60fps and today the game only ran at 30fps. I also tried playing some Gamecube games and I still only got 30fps? I Reinstalled multiple times and tried other versions of dolphin to no avail. I just wanna play some Super Mario Bros!!!

My native language is not English, sorry.

First look at the graphics card is not moving off set.
Has just run the game whether the break above 30 FPS.

"Force Console as NTSC-J" is not ticked. (Japanese game must be ticked, English game must be removed)

First, you could update your profile with full specs so we can help (CPU: Intel, GPU: Intel Integrated -- This doesn't mean anything). Also, what Dolphin version are you using? Setings?

Some games are meant to run at only 30 fps. To accurately see how well the game is running, look at the bottom left corner of the main window when the game is running to see the percentage of fullspeed the game is running at.

My specs are 380m i3 core processor and Intel(HD)Graphics video card 64mb. Don't really know how to list my specs.

Anyways I before it was fullspeed now it only runs halfspeed. Before the fps was 60 and the vps was 60. Now my fps is 30 and vps 60.

Dolphin settings:
Direct3d9
Disable Fog
Skip EFB Access from CPU
Ignore Format Changes
External Frame Buffer, Disabled
Cache Display Lists, Enabled
OpenCL Texture Decoder, Enabled
Fast Depth Calculation, Enabled
Fullscreen Res: 800x600

Looked at pictures should be normal.
Many games run limit frame 30
In order to prevent beating FPS,Recommend limit 65 frames

This game runs at 60 FPS all the time

Try disabling OpenCL and OpenMP, it won't get any speedup (because you have an i3, and Intel HD Graphics may not support OpenCL) and using OpenMP sometimes causes speed issues (at least here)...

I dont really see anything that stands out but my galaxy is 100% all the time. now my cpu is a bit better but I think its just something you checked that did this to you.

So here is what I have different, relevant or not.
[]= unchecked [x] = checked. Not mentioned means same as you.

General
enable idle skipping []
enable cheats []
framelimit [audio]

enhancemnets
scaled EFB copy [x]
per-pixel lighting [x]
wide screen hack [x]

Hacks
external frame buffer
disabled [x]
cache display list []
openCL texture decoder[]

Again some of these options are for better appearance and not really performance but just some ideas for you.
