Running gamecube game stuttering - Barbecuesaus89 - 04-07-2012
Hello guys
Id like some help setting up the Dolphin (64-bit) to run my gamecube games.
The problem are little stuttering , just like when u play a PC game and it cant handle the graphics (so u have to turn the graphics lower)
Sinds i dont know much about this emulator i dont know how to fix this.
I played mario sunshine today (it worked fine with a minor stutter but not annoying)
Then i played pikmin 2 (it crashed first) then when i put the enhance graphics down to default it runs but stutters again , same with mario sunshine.
here are my system specs:
Windows ultimate (64-bit)
amd phenom x2 555 3.2ghz
4gb ram 1333mhz
Amd HD radeon 6870 xfx dual fan

pls post your settings. Also try to overclock your CPU.

Yes settings and what version of Dolphin?
Also keep in mind that not all games are created equal. Some games are far more demanding than others and will require lower "level" settings if you will.

Click the Graphics button in Dolphin, and go to the Hacks tab. There's a section near the top called EFB Copies. You can choose between Texture and RAM. Note that for Super Mario Sunshine, Dolphin sets this to RAM through the use of its .ini files, so even if you start up Dolphin with Texture as your default, it'll use RAM anyway. Of course, switching it to RAM and then back to Texture during gameplay changes the setting dynamically and forces it to use Texture for sure, but you need EFB copies set to RAM in SMS in order to play it correctly.
