Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

wow this is amazing , even in windowed mode i get better speeds (well i haven't tried fullscreen yet :p)

k this speeds up other games as well (have tried mario kart double dash)

EDIT: Windwaker and melee are also faster

it work only with Zelda TP
I have tried it with Zelda WW and Mario kart double dash but result was same as before

wow, thanks a lot! now i can play tp nearly full speed!

i hope the devs don't sleep on this one, someone gotta tell them

No offense, but your processor is quite poor so you likely won't see any further increase in performance on your system. A Pentium 4 just isn't ideal for CPU intensive emulation, it's the same thing with PCSX2 as with Dolphin.

I find it quite surprising you are saying that you are even getting the speed you are, considering I struggled to achieve half speed when I had my old AMD64 x 2 3800+ PC which is faster than a Pentium 4 processor. Heck even an Athlon XP is faster than a Pentium 4 except for the fact it lacks SSE2, the Netburst and HT technology in the Pentium 4 processors was nothing but a failure.

No crashes here on the DX9 plugin except when I try to switch to full screen or switch to windowed mode while playing a game.

erm im pretty sure daco is aware his cpu sucks ^^

Daco knows, he just wants to rise some heads at the fact of uncertainty.
Apparently his 8600 covers the cpu's faults

i am
and i am also aware on how to run games full speed on my "crappy" cpu
let me tell you that if it would lower the load of the gpu thread i would notice

wait how is your gpu making up for lost cpu power?

i took some screenshots just to show the performance difference using the hack

With the bloom hack selected:



Without the bloom hack:



Dolphin r4307
resolution 1280x1024
v-sync enable
