I have read everything on this site that pertained to my problem (The Simpsons Road Rage crashes before I even get to the Main Menu, and LEGO Star Wars crashes during Negotiations.), but I can't find a solution. I am using current build 4269 and everything either runs slow (about 20 FPS if I'm lucky), or just randomly crashes. Why can't I get 60 FPS during gameplay for any game I have?
That's normal with your CPU
That's not about CPU, those games are just not playable yet

Shit. I thought as much. I just can't afford a GameCube right now since losing my job. Also, I liked certain games and even those I tried kept either crashing or the graphics were screwed up. I'm going to wait until there is a version that can play them.
Sorry Tongue

I was talking about the slowness
try these games:

smash bros for gamecube, muramasa for wii, wind waker for gamecube

if none of those work then I dunno, just wait and see if later builds will work

good luck
