Tips for lag / increase speed? - Dolphin650 - 04-29-2009
A lot of games I run are on the "perfect on dolphin" list but are extremely slow, so I'm assuming my PC just isn't powerful enough (32-bit, 2.53 dual core, 3 gigs RAM). Any tips on how to get the frame rate up? For example, Soul Caliber 2 is running at 30 instead of 60.
Thanks!

I get a MAJOR frps boost when i turn off the sound. Take off all the sound check boxes and you'll get higher frps.

Why turn off the awesome sound in SCII? (Joke Weapons HILARIOUS!)
Just turn on Dual Core in the Config Menu, first tab. I don't know about SCII, but SSBM went from ~20fps to 60fps, sometimes faster!

if you have a really slow p.c. then make sure nothing else is running other then dolphin

thx a lot
the enable dual core option really fastened the speed like 5x
i tried sound and quantizers first and nothing happened
thx

No problem.
If you have a quad-core, (or a tri-core, although I don't get how that would exist) then the sound, video, and computing is split into 3 part, and it is even faster! No need to sacrifice sound!

(which are just technically 4 cores cpu with one disabled core 
)
