strange problem Beach Spikers/Mario Kart Wii - danuota - 08-26-2015

Hi guys . Smile
(ehm sorry my english , use a translator...) Big Grin

I'm using this magnificent emulator with some titles Gamecube / WII , okay , running fluids for both video and audio , but I have a strange problem with both Beach Spikers (GC) (USA version ) and with Mario Kart Wii (EUR version ) :
- Beach Spikers fine , fluid , in the first meeting ( quarter-finals ) and in the second meeting ( the semifinals ) then the problems start from the end , eye-catching video and audio delays and become unplayable .
- Mario Kart Wii , everything ok with the first path , then the problems begin , especially with annoying audio glitches .

is this normal ?

use :
Dolphin 4.0.7398 fullscreen 1920x1080 , Force 16 : 9 , internal resolution 3xnative , the rest of default options

My PC :
Intel I7 4770 3.4 GHz , 16 GB RAM Corsair DDR3 , AMD 270x 2GB R9 , WIN 7 64bit

Thanks!

no one knows help ? but , out of curiosity , you Beach Spikers works well at all? No problems with slowdowns audio and video ( becomes unplayable ) from the semifinals in arcade mode ?  Huh

I tried to change the settings (DirectX or Open GL) (internal resolution auto or 3x native) (full screen ...ecc. ecc.) no way, always the same problem!! Undecided

Sounds like you may be getting thermal throttling. What are your temperatures when running Dolphin?


RE: strange problem Beach Spikers/Mario Kart Wii - danuota - 08-27-2015

Hello. Honestly I have not noticed particular temperature changes with these games and many other games again tested with Dolphin running fine. To this I would understand if it is a problem of the emulator with this title in particular or if Beach Spikers works well in all except me !
Boh ?
You, to understand , put special configuration settings or leave the default setting ? The game requires special hack ?

Thanks

Use a program to check what the temperatures are when playing Dolphin, like http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ or something. Because since both Beach Spikers and Mario Kart are slowing down after a while of playing the game, I really think thats the issue.
Could be CPU temps, could be GPU temps. keep an eye on both

No way.  Sad
Tried playing even Wario World ( GC ) , so good at the beginning , very cute game , runs smoothly both video and audio , but after a few minutes of the game began the usual slowdowns video and audio such as for Beach Spikers ( GC ) and Mario Kart Wii . The temperature of the graphics card is the norm , we are between 45 ° C and 50 ° C.
I have plenty of RAM , 16 GB DDR3 Corsair 667 Mhz .... from what can depend this drop in performance of the Dolphin on my PC ?

p.s. by the way, if i put in the background the Dolphin for example, to open AMD Catalyst Control Center to check temperatures of the GPU , i see that the game loaded with Dolphin and left in the background starts to turn in the correct speed until i close the Catalyst Control Center and resume to play!!! Huh

you said the GPU temps were fine, did you check the CPU ones?

Hello and thanks for asking . Smile
Just now he is playing with Beach Spikers (GC), when slowdowns audio and video which in fact make the game unplayable , i had the following temperatures :
GPU 55 ° C
CPU 52 ° C
then i think nothing wrong right?
It is strange that i have a powerful PC and i can not run some games with Dolphin fluids while other people with older PCs and less powerful of my not encountered certain problems . Huh


RE: strange problem Beach Spikers/Mario Kart Wii - danuota - 09-03-2015

For now i have solved my problem. Smile
I write it here because maybe it can be useful to others. Or it may be useful for programmers.
I installed the "old" version of Dolphin 4.2 (stable) and finally with Beach Spikers ( GC ) i can play at full speed also going on in the game and not only to the semi-finals!! No slowdowns audio and video now . It 's back to work as well rumble pad with this game Exclamation , with newer versions ( 4.7 - > ) rumble pad me not working.


RE: strange problem Beach Spikers/Mario Kart Wii - danuota - 09-03-2015

...and now with version 4.2 Mario Kart Wii and Wario World (GC) also works great to me , at full speed!!!!  Big Grin
