Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello everyone,

I am new to dolphin.

I download it today and after 2 hours of trying to config the Dualshock 3 to be used as controller I tried to play Super Mario Galaxy.

I had lot of lags.

I checked to FPS and my FPS is below 30.

What wired is that I saw this videos:

This people are also using GT220 and they run games on 60 FPS.

So why am I run it on 30 and below?

Please help

There's absolutely no way you're going to play such a demanding game on hardware so outdated and underpowered, to the point of this almost being hilarious. I'm afraid that due to the fact that emulation has a lot of overhead compared to playing the game on an actual console, demanding games such as Super Mario Galaxy are pretty much the most demanding real-time application you can run on two cores of a CPU, and hence you need a reasonably highly clocked Haswell (ix 4xxx) processor for that game.

Also, never trust YouTube videos, as they're usually on older revisions which are less accurate, and cause games to break (but run faster) or use the wrong settings, which causes games to break (but run faster), or are just flat out lies so YouTubers can brag about how powerful their system is.

Both your CPU and GPU are too weak for SMG and those youtube video ain't valid anymore . Latest Dolphin is more demanding than older version due to accuracy . If you not run the game at full speed , you will have lag
New SMBros has nothing to do with SMG , NSMB is a light-weight game ,SMG is a demanding game
To run SMG full speed , you need at least i3 4130 @ 3.4GHz + EVGA GTX 750 ( Recommend: i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz + GTX 750 TI)
