Try that, and if it doesn't work, fiddle around with it as necessary.Nintendo Wii Games How to Play Nintendo Wii Games without a Consoleīefore the PlayStation and Xbox dominated the console market, there was the Nintendo Wii – the console we all pledged our allegiance to. Now I'm running it at a constant 30 FPS, with infrequent dips to 29 and 28 at the worst. Personally, the best combination I've found was setting the Framelimit to Auto and unchecking Limit by FPS that totally eliminated all noticeable slowdowns during any part of game. For me, some settings produced zero lag during combat, but made the battle voices 1.5x as fast (like I was fast-forwarding or something), others increased the lag significantly (down to 20 FPS ), and others made VSync unusably slow. For some reason or another, this game is very picky about your framelimit options. I used to get them, even though I had OC'ed to 3.8GHz (and an i5-2500K at 3.8GHz is significantly faster than an AMD FX 6100 at 3.8GHz). Even though the AMD FX 6100 is fairly weak for Dolphin, it constitutes "average" enough with an OC to - About those slowdowns, those are pretty normal on most systems. For the most part, even average hardware can reasonably run this game. This game can be GPU intensive (especially at higher IRs) but for the most part, the only areas that really stress the CPU seem to be when a lot of enemies are on screen (especially when Colony 9 gets attacked in the beginning). Ever since delroth changed the HLE code for Wii AX microcode games (thus negating the need for LLE) you don't need beastly hardware to run this game most of the time. I think this topic is more hardware than anything else.Įveryone grossly overestimates how demanding Xenoblade Chronicles is in Dolphin. You can also go on PCSX2 forums and look for their CPU hierarchy but I think it will be quite similar to Dolphin's. > Go the Intel way, using the hierarchy I gave you before. The motherboard you're using right now can certainly be used for older AMD CPU that use older sockets. Like I stated, a Phenom II is really the best option for Dolphin and other demanding emulators such as PCSX2, if you can't afford to change your Motherboard AND your CPU and is stuck with AMD. You'll find a good hierarchy of Dolphin-capable CPUs here. > Ditch FX 6100 and try some older AMD series. Even then, I don't know if you'll get any noticeable improvement on this game. So now you're left with basically three options IMO : This is the place you discuss game specific problems, but like I said, your hardware is too weak for this. You're talking about freezes on image and audio. It's not a matter of configuration tweaks, it's just that you're trying to run one of the most demanding game the emulator can run on one of the weakest possible configuration that can actually run it.
The small overclocking you made absolutely isn't going to take you anywhere in this regard. AMD FX processors have weak Single Thread performance that Dolphin and most advanced emulators (aka PCSX2) are greatly relying on. You're using a 1st Gen AMD FX CPU that's shipping with Bulldozer architecture, with lots of cores and Gigahertz, but that generally performs worse than Intel counterpart or previous AMD Phenom II in such usage. That config is quite weak for Xenoblade and emulation is general. Is disliking your president a matter of identity or something ?
