FPS - Alteka - 03-19-2011

So im having issues with FPS, like Ill play some GC games and they repeat sound clips as well as have really bad framerate. any ideas? I have a decent computer, I can play things like Fallout newvegas on max setting with little to know fps issue, but why is it that these GC games are so choppy?


RE: FPS - parasite64 - 03-19-2011

What are you computer specs? What revision of Dolphin are you using?


RE: FPS - Alteka - 03-19-2011

My pc was an acer aspire I bought 2 years ago that ive upgraded a bit,
its a AMD phenom II triple core (2.2Ghz)
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1GB GDDR5)
5GB DDR2
Im kind of a noob when it comes to Dolphin, I used it a long time ago but could never get the keyboard to work, but thats not the issue anymore. and Revision?? explain please.

Dolphin requires a very powerful cpu. A phenom II @ 2.2GHz will not be sufficient for a lot of games. PC games don't require a powerful cpu, but these are not pc games you are running. In order to be able to run GC/Wii games dolphin has to translate the code in real time before executing it.

Agreed with NaturalViolence, I'm running a E5400, and most of my games play at playable framerates, but there are some games which just have no hope on the system I'm using.

The revision is essentially the version of Dolphin you're using. When you load up dolphin, it should say something in the taskbar (like Dolphin R6970). That 'R6970' is the revision number.

Google translate:

"I recommend the dolphin candidate version 2.0 is the most stable (in my opinion) to and test the speed of games"

Try to post in english next time, this isn't a language course we're attending to.

@ Alteka

These issues is completely normal since it's SVNs revisions under constant development.
You might have dips in FPS in one commit and the next one it's fixed.
It's trial and error, find the one that suits you and works best for the time being.

Just for fun the other day I tried 7365 to see what it's all about, New Super Mario Bros Wii works perfect in 2.0 and in this commit the menus were fullspeed with the intro and ingame being 4 FPS.
Maybe it's fixed now, one can never know.
