i have both dolphin 3.0 and 3.5.i am currently playing ToS on the 3.0,because it was graphically better (besides the tittle screen text not showing,that is.).

however,i've arrived at a snow town named Flanoir.
the game hangs,like,5 or so seconds while i am outside houses in the town.i have to make a path connecting houses to progress within the town,and that was kinda alright,but it was annoying.

so,i've transferred my memory card over to 3.5 and tried,it was working perfectly.At the time,i was only exploring,there was nothing important to do there,but...well.

after i was done fooling around,i transferred the card back to 3.0 and moved on...but now,there is a sidequest that requires me to get an item from an NPC in Flanoir,and that npc is outside a house.
i can reach him with no problems,bu the game hangs during the scene (weird,because the other npcs,cutscene or not,do not make the game hang.).
i've tried to odo the 3.0-->3.5 trick again,but now it's hanging outside too...?

any ideas on how to fix this issue?/
if you need any data,please,ask me,and give me directions to find...i'm a noob when it comes to these things,and when my OS is in brazilian portuguese,i could get a little lost...(like when somebody asked me about my video card...it is known here as a 'placa de video',and that translates to something like videoboard [like,motherboard])


...please,help.

Any ideas what specs I should have to run this on Dolphin?
Because I can run Twilight Princess and Wind Waker pretty fine (albeit at like 800x600 w/o anti-aliasing and such, but still), but ToS can barely run at 30 fps on the same settings.

Pretty much this, except that I used to run Dolphin on Windows 7.
... Actually I haven't tried it yet on Windows 8, maybe it works better on there?

You going need to do some upgrading there (Windows 8 is not going to help). In particular your GPU is the weakest parts. An entry level GPU like HD7750/HD7700 will be a major upgrade (assuming your motherboard has PCIe slot).

Of course if you are willing to put some extra money down,

* A6/A8 APU with DDR3-1600 (cheaper, no need to buy separate GPU)
* Intel i3-2100 + HD7750 (more expensive, but powerful than above)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
