I read the rules for the hardware thread, so i'll try my best to not break them.

My CPU: AMD FX-6300
My GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

I Have been using the dolphin emulator for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and I have been wanting to play games such as Super monkey ball 2, tony hawks pro skater 4, and crash bandicoot: wrath of cortex.

Super monkey ball runs okay, but some levels slow the emulator down.

Tony hawks pro skater 4 is unplayable due to how slow it is.

Crash bandicoot freezes during the intro.

I figured my hardware was decent, but maybe I was wrong. Could you guys confirm if my hardware is good enough / tell me what i'm doing wrong? I have watched tutorials on how you can make the emulator faster, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thank you in advance!
You have an old AMD CPU. AMD CPUs are bad for dolphin due to terrible single threaded performance. Emulation isn't a workload you can just "use more threads"

You can't do anything about this besides get a better CPU
Oh and upgrade to 5.0
