Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

On wind waker I get full speed all the time while on twilight princess I get 70% speed most of the time, I bought my notebook 4 Years ago.

If you're asking why, it's because Twilight Princess is more demanding than Wind Waker.

If you're asking what you can do to improve performance, the most obvious is to use the newest developmental build of Dolphin (though maybe you already are? you didn't say).

your CPU is abysmal. Even 4 years ago.

There isn't much you can do.

Enable dual Core in settings, Use external card for rendering, use dx11 plugin

Also, vulkan plugin would be also fast, and at least you can choose card for rendering from the options inside emulator. Lowering scaling would also speed up things.

If thats still lagging, then use afterburner or process explorer or other cpu/gpu monitoring tool to verify where is the proble (which part of hardware has 100% use)

Dual core is enabled by default

They're on a laptop, they can't use a dGPU.

They should use Vulkan yes.
