Metroid Prime Trilogy audio stuttering and frame drops when picking upgrade - Komarzer - 09-01-2021

As the title says, I'm having some audio stutters and some frame drops when picking upgrades in Metroid Prime 1 on Wii, nothing too bad, it lasts like 2 seconds. It happens also when I dive in water, same thing, lasts 2 seconds.

I'm on Dolphin 5.0-14344, Apple Macbook M1, Dual core disabled since my game would crash everytime I use the morph ball.

Has anyone experienced that?

Couple of things to try:
-Are you using Asynchronus ubershaders with precompile shaders turned on?
-Try the latest dev build
-Are you using the Vulkan or OpenGL backend? Vulkan should be faster
-Are you running at 1x Internal Resolution?

  • I usually play with Async, but tried precompiling, same issue
  • My auto-updater always crashes Dolphin, is there a way to install the new version but keeping all the settings?
  • I'm using Vulkan
  • I'm playing at 3x (1080p), playing on my living room television. I don't want to lower this setting since that'll affect the graphics

Just download the latest build from here: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

Your saves and settings are all saved in Global settings, so they won't be lost

I'm on the newest build now, but I have the same issue. Lot of stutter when jumping in and out of water.

Does the stutter happen when you're at 1x Internal Resolution?

Yes. I actually created an other topic here for probably the same issue : https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-heavy-stutters-during-meta-ridley-fight-in-metroid-prime-1-wii-trilogy
