Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

hi everybody, i have some questions:

- browl runs faster than melee??? why is that?
- ive seen post where ppl with machines lower than mine can run browl at full speed, ive been trying all configs in the forum , and it stills giving me arround 20 fps (about 25% of normal speed) in battles, is my pc capable??

I have an Hp Dv4 1212la , it has
- Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
- Ati radeon 3200HD
- AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-62 @ 2.00 GHz
- 4GB ram
Im also running dolphin 2.0 x64, and i have directx 11, and im using direct3d9 plugin, and HLE in DSP.

how do i configure my pc? or dolphin?
thanks =)

use the opengl plugin! in my experience brawl runs faster with less glitches in open Gl plugin.

but how do i configure it, i mean , it runs even slower than dx9. how do i know what version of opengl i have?

opengl is not like dx you dont update it! (well mabye every 3 yrs. )
just select "use XFB", "use real XFB" and in the last tab set "EFB to OpenGl Texture (Hack)"

EDIT: before you do that, dont use dolphin 2.0, use the latest version at http://dolphin-emu.org
good luck!

yes, your machine should run it fine......

ive already tried it
what is more important in emulation, GPU or CPU ?

if you have at least 2 cores, wii emulation depends most on gpu. (but sometimes just overclocking a little bit will give you lik a a 20 fps boost.)
