A few questions with dolphin and games - gamapo - 02-06-2011

Hello to all, im a reader of this forum but today i registered an account because i have few problems with dolphin and i cant understand why ( i have read the faqs and so on)
And sorry my english is not the best ( im german)

so here are my questions please help me to handle with it:

I can play gamecube/wii games with maybe 30 fps (2 fps +/-) nevermind which build, (settings, anti analysing, to ram to textur, dx11, dx 9 and so on) i have tried, i always have no more or less frames. Why?

my system specs:

gigabyte geforce 460 1 gb
phenom 2 x4 955 be
4 gb ram
windows 7 64 bit ultimate

many users have worse system specs and they can play most of the games with fullspeed.

with wii games ( mario bros, galaxie, brawl and so on) i have in the menue 60 fps and ingame 30 too, so its soooo slow so i havent fun with it.

okay that was the first question.
they others:

although i have 64 bit windows i can play only with the 84 builds. With the 64 i start dolphin load the image and then the window gos white and dolphin have an problem. i have read the thread( http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=2291) but i dont understand what i must do or where. im a newb with that kind of systemchanges.
Is there a other way that i can play with the 64 build?

and the last question:

i want to play twilight princess with gamecube iso. ( i think this is a main problem with zelda tp) i have sound in the menu but when the game starts and im in the first village i have no sound only swords and blablabla.. but no background music. if i enter links home there is background sound but not if i go outside.)

So that are my questions, i hope you can understand me and thank you very much! Smile

A well known problem that can only be fixed by using LLE audio (which is painfully slow on any system). You'll just have to live with it.

As for your framerate problem. Try turning off "audio throttle", setting the framelimit to 60, and turning on "use fps for limiting".

thank you but i have tried these settings already.. and nothing works.. the framerates are to bad for my systemspecs or? what i can do more?

whats with the x64 build?


RE: A few questions with dolphin and games - NaturalViolence - 02-08-2011

Try lectrodes sse3 optimized builds (you can find them in svn revision discussion section of the forum).

Can you post a full list of your settings in dolphin?
