Slow framerate but good audio ? - Speedwagon - 12-05-2013

Greetings !


I just bought a new tablet (Asus T100) and tried Dolphin on it. While framerate is kinda low but still decent (30FPS for Smash Bros Melee) the audio is just horrible...
I guess that since the speed isn't 100%, the audio is also glitchy... so I'd like to know if it would be possible to put priority on audio emulation even though the framerate is low. I don't have any problem playing at half the framerate, considering some games ran at 60FPS. But for the audio... I just hate this.

Thanks for your possible answers and have a nice day guys.

Exactly . Dolphin has changed alot since the dev released the new HLE
You may use the old HLE by using old Dolphin version such as Dolphin 3.5
Btw , latest Dolphin is more demanding than older versions . So you may get more speed with older version . However , old versions are supported here , you shouldn't post any issue you may encounter with them

On recent revisions the stuttering can be fixed with OpenAL... Since you're in a tablet, and SSBM is a lightweight game, I suggest trying r6515: you won't get suport in the forums, but it could provide a speedup in your tablet, because older versions are less accurate, so, they're less demanding...

Thanks a lot !
Yes, I'm not expecting great performance or such on this thing (even thought it was kinda surprising with PCSX2).
I hope it can provide better sound, regardless of high framerate.


EDIT: Wow, thx a lot Jhonn ! I'm trying Paper Mario 2, and it works like a charm ! Framerate might be lower, but sound is perfect !!
