A couple of questions w/dolphin - Dante82 - 09-24-2014
Hello. I have a couple of questions with dolphin.
The first is, I'm considering purchasing the Mayflash Dolphin Bar so I can buy some newer Black wiimotes to Match my htpc and not worry about the tr-crap and attaching the wonky motion plus block anymore.
I want to know, does the Dolphin Bar fix the wiimote speaker static problem on Dolphin, or is that an emulator issue? Someone on the HyperSpin forums stated it does, but I wanted to confirm here with people from the official forum.
Second question is, I have a rather beefy system running Dolphin:i5 4670k@ 4.4ghz/GTX 770 OCéd Video Card.
Is there any way to stop or remedy the framerate drops that happen when video cache's are written to the Dolphin folder when playing a game for the first time?
I mean I get 0 drops with areas of game's I've already played through already but if I'm running through a new area, it happens. It really ruins the first time playthrough. Will doing something like storing my rips and Dolphin on an ssd stop this? It is the only gripe I have with Dolphin, other than that it is a fantastic piece of software.

DolphinBar doesn't fix the Wiimote Speaker audio; It's a limitation of bluetooth timings I think?
You can't do anything about the Shadercache drops yet. There's a few ideas, but nothing really has come to fruition.
