Zelda Twilight Princess and Wind Waker question? - Zebs93 - 05-21-2009

Ok, on average, with both of these games, on revision 3089... I get about 4-6 FPS. I'm using my laptop, so I wasn't expecting anything great, but it does have a dual-core processor and stuff... which had a performance rating of 4.84Ghz, according to a website, anyway. Is there anything I can do to increase my FPS? Or am I basically screwed, until a faster version of Dolphin/or buying a better computer?

Here are my laptop specs:

Enable Dual Core and Idle Skipping in Dolphin settings

Yeah, I did that... didn't help. Oh well. I can get about 10FPS on my desktop PC, which has a 3GHz core 2 duo processor (or something, like that), 1GB of RAM, and a Radeon X1300 Series graphics card, running Windows XP. I thought I'd get more than that on it, but apparently not. Will future versions of Dolphin speed things up on lower-end computers?

I can help you...why not to buy GameCube? It's very cheap on ebay nowSmile. Sorry for OTSmile.

This is discussion about Dolphin, not Gamecube.

@Zebs93, go to GFX settings and disable EFB copy

I own a Gamecube... and I own Twilight Princess for the Wii. I just wanted to play it on my laptop, so that I could have it wherever I was.
