Low FPS

[Stephen_A]

Hi,

I recently installed Dolphin (most recent version). When I tried to run my Pikmin 2 ISO it gave me this error:
Zelda vCode: Unknown CMD: 1333 (size 3)

I only get about 7FPS... which is really bad. I don't believe it's my hardware -

AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+ 2 GHz
1GB DDR RAM
Nvidia PX7600 GS (512MB DDR)

I tried messing with the graphics settings but nothing helped. Any advice?

The slowness comes from your hardware as it's way too slow for full speed GameCube emulation. There is no hardware you can buy to get full speed GameCube emulation. (protip: read the stickied FAQ).

I can't say anything about the error message though.

Wii? You mean a Gamecube 1.5 what we call it here in europe -.-

Computer hardware.

But yeah, a Wii would be a good choice.

Oh, so Gamecube emulation is currently a novelty?

 

[Sercio]

Nah... lets say fullspeed Gamecube emulation is a novelty

It's not GC 1.5. The Revolution's hardware is much stronger than the Gamecube hardware. It's all about the specs.
If someone really uses up the power of the hardware, I would believe the Revolution would have a chance at the graphics of the 360 and PS3 (albeit in SD).
And I, for one Europeé, do not agree with you.
