K, I'm having a problem that I can't seem to find any info on. When playing single player classic mode, the video just kind of freezes on match 8 ( the 1 vs 10 fight) It shows part of the vs screen and then just stops updating the video, but I can still hear the game going. any help would be much appreciated.

I can't get this game to run well at all. Max FPS I can get is around 30. My specs are: Core 2 Duo @ 2.4GHz, 4GB DDR2 800, Nvidia Geforce 9500GT. I am running the latest Linux build from the SVN. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem (solid 30fps with an e4600 @ 2.4GHz), the framerate is solid at 30 (well occasionally drops one or two fps) but *never* goes over it in-game (hits 60 in menus). I've tried all sorts of config settings. Similar issue in SSBB (though less solid fps, more like 24-30).

This is the latest packaged release for Windows but on Wine, as I can't get anything but a black screen from the Linux version, latest packaged or latest SVN, no obvious errors in console. I'll post a separate thread about my Linux version problems though.

I am also trying to get this game to work, but all I get is a black screen. I can hear the sound in the background, and everything works, but I still can't see anything. Also, I get an "incomplete rt" error message on both this and on Brawl. I'm running 2745 32-bit on Windows XP, so any suggestions?

Is there a certain settings for graphics or anything else that should be done in order to run SSBM perfectly? or at least what are the best settings

dual core seems to make it run a lot better

Standard settings are the best. Dolphin is incomplete emulator, so play what you get

That's not very helpful

Lots of people are getting perfect performance with SSBM on low-ish end hardware, so the issue isn't about the emulator being incomplete, it's more likely to be about settings, libraries, drivers and incompatibilities between these.

My PC is able to run it smoothly...Except that whenever it saves ( like event matches, new trophies and stuff ) the game simply freezes for a few seconds and then works normally again. Any ideas? I got Enable Dual Core on and my specs are a GeForce 8600GT, a core 2 duo E6750 processor running at 2.67GHz and 2 GB RAM.
