Dolphin does have frame skip (or it did, I haven't looked in awhile), but I don't think it will do what you want it to do
RE: frameskip? - Elevas28 - 10-21-2014
but it will enhance the gaming experience right?
RE: frameskip? - ExtremeDude2 - 10-21-2014
Like I said, it probably won't do what you think it will

In older consoles, the CPU streamed commands to the GPU, and the GPU drew the frames. You could skip drawing the frames completely, and the CPU would still run fine. In the Wii/GC the GPU talks back to the CPU, and so everything will break if this isn't emulated. This means most of the work the GPU has to do has to be done in Dolphin too. All Dolphin's frameskip does is skips the very last stages of drawing the frame, so you don't get much of a performance increase, but still don't get to see all the frames.
