Runs Slow

[saturninus]

This emulator runs the games pretty slow on my system. I have a good machine. It's a AMD 64 3200 with 1 GB RAM.

Any thoughts on speeding it up?

here I will quote it for you...

Q: Whoa, Dolphin is running as fast as a pregnant snail, what am I doing wrong?
A: The Nintendo Gamecube is a very advanced platform and (todays) computers are not fast enough yet to emulate it with the techniques we use. So... you aren't doing anything wrong! Upgrading a CPU or GPU won't gain you much more performance (you will only gain 1-5 fps). IF you decide to upgrade just besure to get a 64-bit CPU and a GPU which supports (at least) 2.0 pixelshaders.

there are so many n00bs who ask this question.

Ive always wanted to ask this,in theory, eventually in the future, wouldnt Dolphin go normal speed, i remember 64 emus failed on my comp running just as slow, but eventually that problem went away as i got a new comp and upgraded as time passed, am i right? or am i living in nomans land

Yes, that's how it goes, since emulation speed is very dependant on the CPU speed of your computer.

Is it running slow!? UNBELIEVEABLE!
