I'm having problems with the speed that Tenchu 4 runs on Dolphin.
My system is a laptop with Core 2 Duo @1.67 CPU and 2Gb of Ram.
This specific game although listed as perfect in the compatibility list, does
not exceed 9 fps on my system, no matter if i turn the sound off or even
if i turn the textures off. Not even in wireframe mode. It's allways at 8-9 fps.
And i haven't even messed with upscaling the game...

I've read that people run Tenchu at-25-30 fps on Dolphin and there's even a
video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePlslrZp-jw ) demonstrating that.
Am i doing something wrong with the settings (i have dual core enabled), is
my system too slow for this game or am i missing something?

doesn't boost up when i use wireframe/no sound or no texture mode. I don't expect performance
miracles but the framerate should improve without textures and sound (at 640x480) even
on a weak system...

Can someone (who has the game work at full speed) plz tell me what his/her Dolphin configuration is?

But this game is not well optimized, u need more cpu power then other games to run it.

This is very interesting info but there's a huge processing gap between 8 and 40 fps (not to mention 60)
that i don't think can be explained by the difference in processing power between my CPU and the CPUs
you mention. Also bear in mind that i run the game at its native resolution and in windowed mode.
Maybe it is a matter of optimization as you already said....

Could you plz tell me what your Dolphin configuration is for Tenchu?

Also any idea where i can find the Direct3D plugin for Dolphin? (i use the OpenGL one)
