Questions about Dolphin

[DJ Stenny]

#1. How much does Dolphin rely on threads?

#2. Hypothetically speaking, how much of a performance boost would a dual core CPU give you?

#1 It is not multi thread optimized. So multi core/HT do nothing at it's current state to boost performance.

#2 Being as the code isn't optimized for speed yet, no cpu on this planet will get this emulator anywhere near full speed.

And it will proberbly not support dual core in the near future (never maybe). There are'nt many programs in the world that support dual core, almost none

HT technology or 2 Cpu in one computer might increase speed in the future i guess.

yes but multi threading programs is a pain in the @ss , recompiling it for 64 bit is much more feasable and should improve performance a bit.... you just stick the same code in a new compiler...

Dolphin emulator goes well you if you look very closely to the screenshots on the frontpage and look on some of them the fps is sometime on some game going on 100-200

sometime on some game going on 100-200

That's Just 2D.

and sometimes the fps is just not reliable
