Conker Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well, if you have any performance problems, I recommend either tweaking settings more, or upgrading your computer. Sent from my EVO 4G using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secant Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Your graphics card looks to be a fairly weak model--ATI cards, in my experience, are almost always inferior to nVidia cards, so I might recommend doing some shopping on Tiger Direct or Newegg to find a better model. I'd estimate a graphics card to get the job done best for Dolphin would run you around $80 to $100. Your processor also looks a little dated, but that's much more impractical to replace, so I'd leave it alone. It doesn't seem to have much trouble running the emulator, anyway, so even less reason to consider that.Hardware aside, you can enable frame skipping on Dolphin (should be under Emulation at the top of the window). Bear in mind, though, that this will often make both video and audio choppy; I personally prefer letting the game run a bit slower than having it at 100% speed but stuttering. Failing that, there may be some game-specific or general speedhacks available. See what each of them do and try them out, some of them may help improve performance.

xdaniel Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Just for the record, in your Dolphin configuration... - Enable Dual Core - Enable Idle Skipping - JIT Recompiler - DSP HLE Emulation ...are all checked/enabled? Besides that, there's some hacks in the graphics settings that you can mess around with, which might speed things up a bit (but also break games). And as for upgrading hardware, from the specs he linked to it's a notebook, not a desktop PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secant Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Wow, I should really learn to read page titles. XDNotebook computers definitely wouldn't be my first choice in using an emulator, especially one as resource-hungry as Dolphin. I would strongly consider using a desktop if you want a more practical emulation experience. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDYoungLink1 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 My Computer has a NVIDIA Geforce GTS 450 1 GB DDR 5 memory Graphics card,a Quad core processor 3.0 GHz a processor, 8GB RAM and a 1 TB hard drive. you dont have to specs as good as mine but it helps to have a powerful graphics card and processor if nothing else. Hope this helps XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeth Ryder Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Does no one here use the Dolphin wiki that has SPECIFIC configurations for each game to make it perform at optimal speeds and very few glitches? http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com ^ seriously read this!
