Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello..

This is my PC specifications:
Intel i7 Extreme 3.33Ghz
Two 4870 X2 (crossfire enabled=4GPUs)
12 GB of ram @ 1066 ( it is 1600 but I have to overclock by changing the BIOS setting ).
Fast Hard disks with Raid configuration
SONY BRAVIA TV 52" 2Megapixels ( using HDMI cable from PC)
Windows 7 64Bit

------

I played Resident Evil Zero @ 1080 FULL HD and it is really perfect..
My Game Cube console (which I gave away) cannot reach this resolution..
It is even better than Resident Evil 5 on PS3 (believe it or not) which is 720p..
The colors and details are so much better.

But I'm facing a kind of slow in motion due setting (I guess)..
So, Please help me to figure the best dolphin's setting for my situation.

the best setting is to overclock your i7 to about 5ghz.

that could be enough, still is not sure.


there a no special setting for your computer.

if you dont overclock you have to live with the fact that a simple 50$ overclocked cpu beats your one easy and that your 1000$ insane cpu is just not enough.

The cpu is really fast and I never complain about its speed..Why overlocking and shorting its life? I'm satisfied with it's speed .. 5Ghz !! don't go nuts !

[color=#FF0000]There is dual cores option in dolphin setting.. is it good to turn it on?
Is there Quad cores option..?[/color]

I don't hear the fans when I'm playing re0 in dolphin..
dolphin do not get full advantage of the cpu and gpus features..

I'm using the latest version of dolphin 64bit.

go to the config and enable dual core, and go to the dsp hle settings and disable other audio (both can be done from the dolphin gui)

No notable changes appear when using dual core

When I disable "other audio".. the motion become impressively smooth and soft but the audio does not match the picture.. also no audio at the introduction.

thats complete bullshit
a 3ghz i7 should be able to run dolphin just fine

also at first post: 99,99999% of all ps3 games aren't full 1080p
all 760p

Quote:a 3ghz i7 should be able to run dolphin just fine

oh yes ?

try z:tp and you will get slowdowns instantly
or play wave race -> impossible
baldurs gate ? no chance
sw:force unleashed ? dont even try


just because he has the most expensive consumer cpu does not mean its enough to play every game without slowdowns.

Quote:I never complain about its speed

Quote:I'm facing a kind of slow in motion due setting

there are no settings for slow motion.

even "other audio" wont create slow motion.

unless you set the framelimit to 10, but well, according to the way you write, i wouldn't even call that impossible...

Rude ^^

if you don't overclock an i7, you're doing it wrong. CF does nothing for dolphin.

no kidding
Zelda:TP goes pretty much 1/4th speed on my Pentium4
EDIT: let me correct that
3.3333333333/10th speed
so
30% (25/60 vps)
EDIT: ow and hey, waverace went same speed as Z:TP


EDIT3: also, why the HELL is the frame limit on 5 drun7?
