Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Full Version: Is it just me or is dolphin 4.0.2 slower than 4.0.1?

So I updated to dolphin 4.0.2 and was getting 10-15fps drop which is a lot slower than when I use 4.0.1(I went back to it). I know I don't have the most powerful laptop but it is perfectly playable for me 45-50fps on the few wii games I have(Kirby, super smash bros brawl and others) and almost perfect on the few gamecube games I own which are not so demanding(super Mario sunshine, luigi's mansion and super smash bros melee). Just wondering if it was just me or if it's something that should be looked in?

Maybe your CPU not being strong enough the games you want to play?

Try overclocking + High Performance mode (Windows).

Did you even read anything of what the OP wrote? (rhetorical question)

Take this as a warning. Since this absolutely is not the first time you're posting stuff like this, I'll begin deleting any messages of yours which are as useful as this one was. And if you feel like there's any need to argue over this, take it to PM so that this thread doesn't drive OT.

    Don't prepend file:// in wxUtils::Explore() on windows. Wxw will just remove it, and/or blow up trying to remove it, if the path isn't ascii.

    Add dxsdk_dir to vc++ paths via base.props. This means you no longer need the paths in a global property sheet. In fact if you have them in such a file, you should remove them as it will cause conflicts with the vs2013 build.

So the source didn't changed that much. It sounds more like it's because of the build itself. (Was it a clean build?)
The official release binary was a clean build, yes.
