[GC] Super Smash Bros. Melee help - pas10484 - 05-15-2009

Hello everyone, I am new to the site and I am having trouble running SSBM at a playable speed. Here are my system specs:

Windows XP Home SP3
Intel P4 3.0 Ghz HT(hyperthreading)
2 GB RAM
Geforce 8600gt 256mb gddr3

Not the best setup but surely it is enough to run this game, especially since it was stated this game runs perfect even on low end cpus.

I can't seem to get the game to go higher than 20 fps. I have the latest drivers for my video card, and I have the directx runtime installed. Running the game with dual core enabled helps speed things up as well as turning the sound off, but still barely playable. If anyone could help out it would be greatly appreciated.

Well, Dual Core is recommended to play games on Dolphin with full speed. P4 is not enough.

Oh well that sucks. Thanks for clearing that up for me. My PC is due for an upgrade anyways I suppose.
