Not quite sure this is the right place.
Hey, I'm using a Nintendo Gamecube/Wii Emulator called Dolphin.
Every time I play I get horrible lag, which is strange since I'm able to run Blockland with max shaders with 60fps.

Not really importent, but here is some gameplay.

I've tried turning off all other programs, messing with the Dolphin settings and messing with the control panel.

Have you tried googling this issue? The tech masters of the blf are busy dealing with the guy who can't run tf2

Not really lag, but whatever.


Looks like a stuff emulator, what are you using?

Yes, I have, nothing there worked.

Dolphin x86

Also, it seems that it's only taking up 30% of my CPU and 20% of my memory, any idea how to make it be able to take up more?

Dolphin x86
And do you happen to have an 86-bit windows OS?

this is a known issue because it is, as I said earlier, a stuff emulator. http://www.emutalk.net/threads/18442-Rules-Of-Forum-FAQ-Read-This-Before-Posting

No, but it's the only download I could find.
Unless 86-bit means 64-bit.

what would a gamecube/wii emulator support other than .iso

dolphin is p good, it's just that emulation for gamecube/wii is difficult for a lot of computers to handle

a lot of the time you'll need to look at the dolphin wiki page for the game and see about its compatibility issues and recommended version/settings

No, but it's the only download I could find.

you were looking in the wrong place or you're blind

https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

the button for 64-bit is literally right next to the x86 version

x86 is 32 bit. Download the 64 bit version
try using a different audio compiler

try dsp lle recompiler or you can try messing with that

Huh. I got it off another website.
Let me try the 64-bit version.

I'l try that.

Post your specs. "i can run blockland on max shaders" doesn't mean stuff.

Sorry for being an idiot, but how do you do it again?

YES! It's much faster, sadly it's still slow on the audio.

The only posted test result includes a video that also has some audio issues. (the other video has absolutely no useful information outside of "it worked" and "this version" so i'm ignoring it) Try a different audio emulation setting (they'll slow the game down, but even with x86 you seemed to be getting decent framerate).

Dolphin has a lot of problems with audio on some games. Emulating any console of this generation onward is going to be a pain to get right, and every game seems to have its own 'sweet spots'. I wish there were a user-friendly way to save a configuration for each game.

You might as well set the framelimit under Config to Audio. That prevents a lot of popping or choppiness.

Didn't do much of a difference.

Made the audio the same, framerate worse.
