#Dolphin emulator not running at full speed windows#
The windows title bar showing the emulator version. Overall, Mednafen seemed to run the game at a better framerate… Thanks for the help anyway ! I’ll keep checking this topic and various updates, i’ll let you know if any evolution is perceived on my side.ĮDIT: didn’t see the above post at the moment I was writing this. An occasional lag spike is fine, but consistent slowdown is not. Curious to know the specs of people managing to get stable framerate with these cores, for my understandings of Saturn emulation. So the problem is indeed CPU related ? Not enough power on mine ? I’m quite surprised both Mednafen and Yabause requires so much performance for decent emulation, I’m really not used to Saturn emulation so perhaps it has always been like that, I dunno honestly, i’m surprised. I tried some soft overclocking on my CPU to see if I could get a better result, I managed to reach full speed but once again, quite unstable … There's a Nintendo GameCube emulator in / usr / ports / emulators / dolphin - emu.

I tried messing around a bit more, checking the process monitors as you suggested, with my usual configuration, my CPU goes a bit higher than with Mednafen PSX for example, one of the cores goes to 80% use but not much more, maximum 85%, other ones are at 60% use, seems normal I think. Other Unix - like operating systems use select ( 2 ) and poll ( 2 ). I know that Saturn emulation is not as good as other most popular gaming systems, but I doubt it has trouble to run this game at full speed, am I right ? Am i doing something wrong with my configurations ? Both Yabause and Mednafen Saturn runs the game at equally slow speed… Any advice would be appreciated, thanks ! I tried messing with my general configurations, disabling shaders, switching video parameters etc… Only thing that improved the framerate was to turn on the video threading option, i managed to go up to 50 fps but it’s very unstable and barely possible to enjoy playing the game with so many slowdowns. I have the correct bios and can boot the game with no problem, but framerate is quite unstable, both with Mednafen Saturn and Yabause too.The game runs between 35 / 40 fps, and barely goes above. I only have one single game to try and it’s Castlevania - Symphony of the Night, the japanese Saturn version. I’ve been playing with Retroarch through multiple games and various cores since a couple of months now, I never had problems with any NES / SNES / Genesis / PSX games so far, so I wanted to try some Saturn emulation, but i’m running in some difficulties to have it working correctly.
