I disabled it but my game is still locked at 30 fps? Im getting around 27-30fps 60vps 100%speed*It's running halfspeed despite the 100%

before my game would run like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYz6f9_b1q0
now it runs halfspeed
Are you using VBeam Hack? If yes, try disabling it. Also, I noticed you have cheats enabled, since the VPS is at 60 (which means 100% speed) then an AR Code may be doing that...
Where can i find the vbeam setting?
Right-click a game in Dolphin, click Properties, then look at the GameConfig tab.
Enabling or disabling vbeam doesn't change my fps , still 27-30fps 60vps 100%
No one ever said it would speed things up though. The VBeam Speed Hack is hit or miss (more miss than hit, only a few games really benefit).
Im about to give up on dolphin.. all my games have started having the same problem. Every game I test runs halfspeed including gamecube games. Im pretty sure its not a hardware problem because I run some high-end pc games fine

But Dolphin is not a high-end PC game. The two aren't even comparable. What Dolphin does (emulating virtual hardware, recompiling code to natively run on your CPU, processing foreign graphical commands into equivalent OpenGL or D3D calls) isn't done by any PC game I've ever heard of. Emulators and PC games tend to use hardware in two very different ways as well. Modern PC games generally emphasize the GPU as the greatest component to their performance. Dolphin relies heavily on the CPU for the bulk of its performance for many games, while the GPU is largely responsible for determining how high an Internal Resolution and how much AA can be used without creating a GPU bottleneck.

Anyway, I don't think anyone's suggested that you look at your temperatures while playing Dolphin. Run a program like CoreTemp and wait like 5 minutes after playing Dolphin, then post a screenshot of your temps. Even if you think that you don't have a cooling issue, always verify it.

Temporarily use look first download 3.5-367.
http://www.dolphin-emu.org/download
Setting according to their own settings.
Remember to change the frame limit is "off".
Convenient to tell me the game the name of, I also want to test to see.
We don't recommend old builds to users. Even though 3.5-367 may run "better" for some systems, it has a number of issues that 4.0 and above fixes. Everyone's free to use what they want, but we don't tell users to use outdated builds, at least not without telling people that we do not support anything older than 4.0.

Also, you've linked to the old, unofficial site (I'll edit that in a minute). Our new site is http://dolphin-emu.org and the new downloads page is http://dolphin-emu.org/download
