Insane emulator overspeed!

Hello!
I recently downloaded the Dolphin Beta3 and so far I think its great. What a leap in performance compared to the old versions.
The thing is when I play games (read SSBM) with Dolphin, the emulator plays with insane speed.
The only time when it doesn't is when alot(ALOT) of things are going on.
I read that in an upcoming version there would be a speed limiter.
Any chance that will come soon?
Shouldn't be that hard to get opengl to slow down or is it?

I really appreciate the work, and Im as eager as anyone to play in "the right speed" (meaning in my case that I dont play games in 5x the speed).

Replies are appreciated ^^

May I ask why that is?
Shouldnt be like that since this is the forum they link at their website.

No word when a new version might pop up?

I love how people assume we don't already know about the speed problems.

Since there are plans of it I assume you know of it? :plain:

What I wanted was a little hint of how long it would take to make a speed limiter.
I'm not that experienced in the subject myself, so I've got no clue if it is difficult or not, hence I posted this.

Alright, good to hear its not a feature that's hard to do.

I googled a bit trying to find a somekind of fps limit thing to go with OpenGl, but aint got a clue of what Im looking for hehe

Wish I had a little money, in that case I could 'donate' and maybe things would go faster :drool:

Go get yourself a speed hack and slow down your CPU :p

I know this isn't a serious idea, but I just want to add, this wouldn't even remotely be a viable option.
The game doesn't keep the same FPS all over the game.
Somewhere may got a 25fps, another place at 40, another at 60, another a 120.
So slowing down the PC to make the fighting sequence be slow enough to be playable means reducing everything else too. So sequences that were at 40 may now be too slow. While sequences at 25 would be HORRIBLY slow.

You'd be fixing some parts, while breaking others.

Yeah I just noticed.... Or you can write your own speed hack and script the speed of it to keep your program at 60 fps. Oh I just thought of something... mabye if you active the Vsync option on the Nvidia drivers like that and set your refresh rate to 60 fps:

I tried to do that before but it didn't work for me.
I may try it again but by choosing Dolphin specifically instead of just forcing V-sync on everything, to see if maybe it wasn't affected when not choosen alone.
