Monster Hunter 3 - Epic Slow? - CKemu - 05-14-2010

I'm alittle out of the loop thanks to massive amounts of RL commitments, but what in the blue blazes is going on.

Sat here on Windows 7 x64, Intel i7 950 D0 Stepping, 6GB of RAM and a GeForce 480.

Most emulated titles run stupidly fast, which is great but Monster Hunter 3 hits character select and eventually ingame at 0.xx FPS with 100% CPU utilisation and 3GB of RAM being chewed on.

Sofar seen various videos suggesting that the game runs at a reasonable pace, and whilst I'm no noob at emulation, I'd sure as fudge like to know what I'm missing to get this working, and whilst happily playing it on the real Wii, I'd certainly like to try and enjoy it via emulation for video making purposes Tongue

Any help would be greatly appreciated Big Grin

@naoan: I use that builds and the max I can get is 25 FPS Sad.

That's still not as bad as the OP experienced no? Wink

CKemu: disable EFB->CPU access, there is probably some sunlight effect kind of emulation, turning off the option I mentioned basically kills it and the game runs faster

Well I must say that certainly helped, I'm doing 75-102 FPS walking around, killing a few aptanoth, kelbi etc Dropping to lows of 45 FPS when in nest areas with a boss and several minions.

However, MH3 PAL is attempting to hit character creation and crashing out on me, limiting me to the trial version of MH.
