Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

So, yesterday my Dolphin was running at 100%

Today, it's opening at 100% and gently lagging down to about 30 FPS instead of 60. It's terrible. I changed no settings. I have no idea what's going on. I don't know how anyone could even help me. I am just so frustrated.

Well, something must have changed.

Get a newer/another revision and extract that to another (empty) folder and test that one.

You're probably suffering from an increasingly well-known issue where the frame limiter seems to be broken somehow. People have suggested that manually increasing the maximum FPS count to 90 helps in Star Fox Assault for example, you might want to try that.

Spellforce's latest SSE builds seem to fix the problem.. somewhat. The devs really need to start looking into this as these things usually don't go away by themselves.
