Can't play any game smoothly anymore - SCL - 11-13-2016

Hi, I had a problem here:
Before I install Windows 10, dolphin emulator still can run the games smoothly but not at full speed.
After I install Windows 10, dolphin emulator run every games at very lagging state (FPS:<5)
Why is this happening?

You will need to supply us with more information.
  • Dolphin version
  • Hardware specs
  • Games you are trying
  • Cpu and ram usage before launching dolphin

I tried all stable version, all of them perform as I said.
What is hardware specs? (Sorry because I'm just a beginner)
All Mario Games (I only play Mario Series in Nintendo)
How to see the cpu and ram usage again?

That's completely irrelevant. Anyway, this is not the correct section, so, thread moved to support.

Without Hardware Specs no support is possible.

Excuse me? You bothered to actually quote me, just to harass me? Of course it's relevant if his anti-virus or Windows update is draining resources. Try playing a game your computer can barely handle while compiling a program. Then we will talk.

Hey, if you're going to do literally nothing but try to pick arguments with various forum users, can you go away please and find another place to do that?


Dolphin has low RAM requirements and if CPU was being pegged, that would be very obvious in terms of general system usability, especially considering Dolphin needs a fast CPU, but no more than 2 dedicated threads anyways as we only use two hard working threads (which is a hack already)

You'd be very surprised how much your system can do in the background before Dolphin starts to become affected.

Anyways, if their profile is right and they literally have 1 GB of RAM, they're below the memory specifications for their OS, which is irrelevant to Dolphin, and their OS is struggling to keep things working. Please tell us what model your CPU and GPU is anyways OP, while it's likely already known what your problem is, I suspect it's a compounded problem of several things you can't do much about.

use Speccy if you don't know
