Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

My first post here and sry for bad english, im from finland
When i play MK DD on dolphin, there is lots of fps drops. Sometimes it crashes. Dolphin version is 4.0.2.
I have reinstalled it two times.
About two weeks ago it worked perfectly. I tried 4.0 version. There was lots of fps drops too.
My CPU is i5-3330. Graphics card is ATI Radeon hd 7770 and 8gb RAM. Motherboard is Asus P8B75-V
Thanks for help

Are you using LLE? IF the answer is "yes", then it´s normal to experience some slowdowns since LLE is CPU demanding.

No, im using HLE. Sometimes games work perfectly for a while but then they start to lag.

When the aspect ratio is 4:3, games run better than on 16:9.

Sounds like your overheating the CPU, as is common in laptops at this point.

I noticed when i record dolphin with fraps, dolphin runs slower. Very slower.

Who would have thought, doing another CPU intensive task (screen recording) would make something your computer was already struggling with (emulation) even slower.

One thing I recommend to people who want to record Dolphin, especially at high definition, is that they can comfortably run the game without recording.
