Looking for THE BEST setting for Dolphin Speed - Salamandar - 05-10-2013
I have been tweaking my dolphin 3.5 for days trying to find the best settings for Legend Of Zelda: The Twilight Princess so far my in-game speed is about a 54% average. Please help me find the best configuration to run the game as efficiently as possible.
My Specs
in overview)Windows 7 64 bit home premium
Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz x4 ~2100MHz
RAM: 4GB

Settings won't help you here, you just can't run Twilight Princess at full speed on that CPU. Most people around here literally use a $200 heavily-overclocked CPU to run it at full speed. (That's just the CPU, their whole computer might cost $800-2000.)
Sorry, fella. Emulation, and Dolphin in particular, can be a pile of absolute horseshit sometimes. I mean, look at my MacBook Air, all I can really run on it is Animal Crossing. v_v

However, have you tried disabling scaled EBT copies or tried using an older revision of Dolphin such as 3.0-917? Sometimes some games will lag a bit less on older revisions, while some lag less on newer.

I haven't gotten that game yet, looking for a good deal
. Anyway, your CPU is worse then mine, and I assume you have integrated graphics. Try the 3.0 official release; I switch to that when a game lags on 3.5. Keep EFB Copies to texture (however I heard of a minimap glitch that happens when you do that and I'm not sure what that means - I'll check the wiki) and use HLE. Also 3.0 has really low IR settings to use, like .5xIR. That helps if a game lags.Edit: Uh, keep EFB Copies in RAM. Anyway based on the test entries:

You should get 50-80% with your CPU. Dungeons should run fastest. Use ZTP speed hack for Hyrule field, but that part will still be slow, say 15-60%

.5x IR won't help much (he's more CPU-limited than GPU-limited with an HD 3000) and it's really not worth running a game in (it looks uglier than a witch's tit). Why do you think it was removed after 3.0? >_>

Lol just a suggestion, it might give him an extra frame each second.
