Hi i'm looking for what would be the best settings for my laptop to run wind waker as smoothly as possible. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Your build should be able to play Wind Waker w/ no problems.

I got through the first level no problem, but once i reached the second it started lagging pretty bad.. I'm new to dolphin so i dont know where to start. ive tried a few different settings that have been suggested but none seem to fix the problem

"Lagging pretty bad" is rather non-descriptive. Like, 15 FPS or like 30 FPS? 30 is normal, 15 means something is hindering performance, and Wind Waker has pretty perfect performance on later generation i7 models.
