Hi, a while ago I tried the dolphin emu and I noticed the graphics were awesome compared with my tv (which is pretty old I guess).
But it's not running at a speed I enjoy playing at. I'd love to play fullscreen and play SSBB without lag even though there are 4 players (or more) onscreen.

So I'm asking for help, what do you think I need to improve or change?

Com specs:
Running on Windows 7
CPU: AMD Phenom™ II X4 955 Processor
RAM: 4 GB
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series

Windows 7 rates my com (on scale 1.0-7.9):

Try lowering/turning off anti-aliasing and turning off the lighting. AA and lighting should always be turned off when attempting to increase performance in any application. Turning off sound also usually leads to a performance increase in emulators. Aside from that, make sure you're running the latest version.

Also, setting it to show fps would be a good way to give you an idea of how far from 60fps you are.

Thanks, no ideas what I need to improve as for the computer?
I still won't be able to play 4 player 100% speed in fullscreen, but 2 player almost works 100% speed now.
(100% while standing still, 83-95% while moving and performing attacks)
