Oh hey, what's going down? Apologies if this has been asked before (and I suspect it has) but I've recently installed Dolphin 4.0.2 and I'm having trouble with the speed at which it runs some games. I've only tried one GameCube game so far (Burnout) which ran fine and I haven't tried any proper Wii games; I mainly got it to play (and review on my blog) WiiWare games, but most of the ones I've tried so far don't run properly.
Gradius Rebirth works okay but most others I've tried, such as FAST Racing, Bomberman Blast, and Rainbow Islands run much slower than they should and with very juddery sound. I've tried messing with the various settings - some options make the problem worse but none get rid of it. I turned on the FPS display which (with FAST Racing) shows 60fps on the company logo and menu screens but slows to about 24fps when the actual game starts. Is there any way to lock the FPS at 60?
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might solve this problem, or is my laptop simply not up to the job? Its specs are:
HP Pavilion, running on Windows 8.1 (64-bit) with 8GB RAM
CPU is an AMD A8-4555M APU with Radeon HD graphics, running at 1.6Ghz
Thanks for any help or suggestions
