I really have no idea what I'm doing so I came here for some help.
I just recently downloaded the latest version of Dolphin and and I've been trying to run Tales of Symphonia. The game runs fine (usually around 50, 60 fps sometimes 80 in certain places outside of battle and around 70, 80 fps in battle) but the cut scenes and dialog are very choppy.
Also the first temple is completely rendered black in certain places (but I can still move around places and battle) but it the game freezes once I reach a certain spot and crashes
Are there any better configurations to fix this problem?
Please post your computer specifications, your revision no(your Dolphin version) and tell your active settings...

I'm running a Dolphin 2.0 (Don't know the revision model, I just downloaded it from the main Dolphin site)
I'm using the supplied Opendl plugin and I'm running in dual core mode.
Here are my configs that I;m using:

Well, at least that's a PART of your config. What videocard do you have? I'm also a bit confused here, do you only have 512 mb of RAM?
Could you also make a screenshot of your graphics configuration in Dolphin?
Dolphin 2.0 is a stable release, it doesn't have a revision number.
Also, to get at least a bit of speed, try the Direct3D9 plug-in instead of the OpenGL one.

There's my config specs. Also, I've searched around for the 3d9 plugin, but I haven't been able to find one.
Update your directx (Feb 2010) then the d3d9 plugin will show up.Also resolution do not check native,check 2x.In your pics 2 change copy EFB to texture instead to Ram

Switching from native to 2x will only slow his system down.
You might want to consider switching off safe texture cache and setting anisotropic filter to 1 and antialias to off, should give you a performance boost as well.
For the rest, that video admin89 posted was of the Wii-sequel, which has less problems running on Dolpin IIRC. I'll try to rip my Tales of Symphonia GameCube game and see what it does. I'm working on my BA thesis though, so it might be another week or so.

Take your time, I'm patient
Also, I downloaded directx and I'm using the d3d9 plugin and the game seems to work better than ever...except for one glaring flaw that the game freezes after a battle.
Btw ,I remake the dolphin tutorial video for speed ,HD and 3D gaming with classes
