    Hi there.
    I'm new to this forum, I've found this topic via google search.
    I've downloaded your movie of SSBM and It's hard for me to believe that you are running the game in your desktop.
    I have a dual core E6600, Gforce8800GTs320Mb, 2Gb Ram DDR2 800, and I can only run the game at 25fps.
    I think your video is a fake. If not, prove me I'm wrong, and teach me how to run the game so smoothly.

    Oh it doesn’t work like that for me it must be fake, that’s a great attitude to have...

    All the proof you need is out there already, for starters look at the graphical glitches in the videos.





    Just from looking at your specs the problem is most likely your processor, by default the E6600 runs at 2.4ghz, my processor is overclocked to 2.93ghz so that’s over 500mhz per core faster than your processor. GameCube emulation requires a massive amount of processing power to maintain 50/60 fps constantly.

    Some things you can do to try and speed the emulator up are make sure your running the 64bit version of Dolphin its a lot more optimised than the 32bit one.

    Also make sure Dual Core and Dynamic Recompilation are enabled in the core options.

    O.o WTF? I think you'll get farther in life by not being an ass. I'm pretty sure EVERYONE knows you want to know how to run it smoothly but was really necessary to word it like that?

    My FPS was only running about 24. I don't think I had Enable Dual Core checked though. Thanks for the tip.

    I might be able to play Skies of Arcadia: Legend now. I recommend it to any RPG fan.
    Oh yeah I almost forgot to mention whenever I start up dolphin it says I don't have and need DLL Plugins\Plugin_VideoDX9.dll Would I need to look on Google for this?

    Oh Insane you lying! I enabled Dual Core and I'm getting 60FPS! So you have to be lying! THANKS so much! My PC only has a 2.1GHz processor Duo core and its full FPS!

    If you download it from my attachment above its included in that, it should also be included with the download on the Dolphin website if you get the latest version.

    I should probably upgrade at some point as the version I’m using now is a couple of months old.

    Glad your getting max FPS! some games do need more processing power than others, all the games i enjoy look to be the ones that require the most power

    The game was Super Smash Bros. Melee. The videos would go between 50-55FPS and the game was a full 60FPS.

    This is probably a dumb question...What do you think about overclocking a Laptop? I want it to be a little quicker not by much I don't need that much. Just maybe 100 to 200MHz more...thats probably a bad idea though right?

    Yes the newer one does have the required DLL file BTW.

    It looks like the emulator has improved quite a bit since I did my little write up about it, double click on the video below to open YouTube and click HD.

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXEwDsssA94&eurl]YouTube - Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Dolphin the Wii Emulator (720p HD)[/ame]

    Looks better than the game playing on the Wii to me!

    I was looking on the newer version of the emulator and it looks like it supports playing games from the disc drive. I tried to but now Dolphin says (Not Responding) so looks like I can't use this feature. I tried to use Soniic Adventure 2 Battle, one of the few GC games I still own.( Hmm, I see you can use Action Replay codes with Dolphin. I'm not sure how to do this though. Anyone mind telling me how?[take note from this question bodasantos])

    I don't know what to think anymore. Yesterday the game was running at 25fps, today it´s runnig almost at 40fps. Can it be witchcraft?
    I apologize for doubting your work and words. Yesterday I was very frustrated beacause the game was hardly playable and after reading and seeing a lot of fakes on youtube and other foruns, everything looked like fake to me. I'm sorry to have used such desperate and ofensive words to get help.
    I will follow your tips and try to improve the game performance. Maybe I'll do a very low overclock just to see if I get a little fps improvement.
    The game continues to be very unplayable at 40fps, It would be great if I could double the numbers.
    I'll keep working on that goal and I'll share any breakthroughs if I happen to brake through one of them.

    Sheers and apologizes.

    Not quite double the numbers, 60FPS is exactly where you want it to be. You have enabled the Duo Core right? It wasn't automatically on when I first got it. Also make sure you don't have something like a virus scanner running when you trying to play it. As InsaneNutter said some games require more to run it then others, what it the game your trying to run? As long as your cooling system can take it a small overclock of around 200MHz, it would do some help.

    Also make sure you have the newest version of the emulator. I went from the Emu in this thread to a newer one and it gave me a couple of extra FPS.
