Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

System:
I7-6700k
GTX 1080 TI
64GB Ram
SSD 1TB

Games been running smooth using the 60 fps hack, widescreen hack, followed the wiki for the good settings.
Game ran constant 60 fps in the first 2 regions, but once i took out over 60 pikmin the game drops from 60 to a constant 30fps
60 or under its a stable 60, no in between.

I tried all default settings, etc. is this just some kind of bug?

Do you have vsync enabled? Did you change the emulated clock speed?

A lot of these codes aren't tested very well against the game in high strain. I'd definitely try increasing the emulated clock speed to be higher if it's emulated lag. If the emulator itself is slow, vsync may be the issue as suggested above.

Do you use DSP LLE or HLE?

boosting the clock speed of the emulator fixed it, i put it at 200% for this game only
