Hi, I have a simple question. Please read on, this isn't a nag or question whether Dolphin will have full FPS or anything.
I'm very new to gamecube emulators and the first one I tried was dolphin 1.02
I read here and on the homepage that Puzzle bobble is the only game to have playable framerates. However when I booted it up in Dolphin, I only got as much as 4. I figured that maybe it was my PC (perhaps 1.2GHz wasn't enough), but then I got some odd inclination to try a DIFFERENT emulator. So I ran Puzzle Bobble 3000 through Gcube and Behold! I get between 30-60 FPS. Hence, I concluded that something can't be right. If my PC was too slow, I wouldn't get good speeds on one emu and not another. However, I didn't end it at that. I figured maybe it's just something with Dolphin version 1.02 so I downloaded the 1.0 Final Release and booted up Puzzle Bobble 3000. Guess what? I get the expected 30 FPS.
By, now you can probably figure out my question. What happened between 1.00 and 1.02 to suddenly cause the framerate to drop from 30FPS to 4 or is it just that my PC isn't compatible anymore with the newest version. Either way, it makes little sense to me. Can someone explain?
Thanks.
