Speed is between 50% and 80% - andyhan95 - 03-04-2012

alright, im running dolphin on a crappy computer (1.4ghz core 2 duo) i understand
BUT i wanna play brawl haha

the fps is about 40-50 but my speed is about 50-80%
is there any way i can lock my fps to 25 or 30 (i dont mind these fps) and bring my speed up to 100%?
i was able to lock my fps to 25, but it also locked by speed to 41%...
ive done many enhancement things such as disabling fog and stuff but this is as fast as i can run it Sad

thanks and cheers Smile
by the way, here are my specs:

mac os x lion 10.7.3
1,4ghz intel core 2 duo
4gb 1066mhz ddr3 ram
64gb ssd
nvidia geforce 320m graphics
dolphin build 3.0-427

no
fps and vpc are connected together...
you can't seperate them
try frameskip...
but jeah, 1.4ghz ... dont waste your time


RE: Speed is between 50% and 80% - andyhan95 - 03-04-2012

frameskip? how does that work and how do you enable it? I was looking at the hardware in the wii and its far far slower than my computer. hmm

Dont misunderstand, an emulator is trying to mimic the functions of a piece of hardware using software so it will take many times of the power of the original hardware to do this


RE: Speed is between 50% and 80% - andyhan95 - 03-04-2012

ohh. right. haha I haven't thought about that. and about frame skipping please? Smile haha I'm a noob with emulation in general


RE: Speed is between 50% and 80% - dannzen - 03-04-2012

dont try it... you gain nothing with that..


RE: Speed is between 50% and 80% - andyhan95 - 03-04-2012

so there is nothing i can do Sad
strangely, gamecube games lag even more.

Average analysis for getting fullspeed on most games is a sandybridge processor @ 2.5ghz for GC and sandybridge 3.5ghz for WII, you should start thinking about getting a new computer
