[Emulation problem] Star Fox Assult

[Davirus]

Hi!
I managed to get StarFox Assault .iso and tested with Dolphin emu.

The problem is that It runs slow as hell, I cant see where is the problem.
I tried all shadders, emu versions and screen resolutions.

Even I tested it on 2 different computers (my lap and a cousin PC)

So anyone knows where is the problem? o.o

Yes. Your computer is too slow, trying to emulate games with only a single core.

Unless you have a 64-bit OS and use the x64 build of Dolphin with dual core optimizations, it will be slow. Of course, you'd already know all of this had you read the stickied topics.

Yeah, both PCs only run the 32bit version of windows and aren't the best rigs out there.
One isn't even a dual core! It's the best speed you will get, so sorry, but we can't help you here.
You have to play it on your GC till a new version comes out.
EDIT: Agozer was faster...

Intel graphics card -> You're screwed (unless you buy a new card but be sure its compatible with your mobo)
Single core -> You're screwed (because getting a multicore system requires a new mobo)

You're pretty much screwed for the time being. 64 bit will give you beyond dramatic improval, so if you get yourself a copy of Vista x64 (xp x64 is no longer available :\) you might be able to see some improvements here.

Hy.
I've a problem with this game too with dolphin V1.03
First sometime animations and in-game menu sound scratches, lags, but my biggest problem is the text do not display in-game and in menu too, but sometimes displays correctly.

My second problem is when end of first mission, it displays a black screen and that's all, nothing happens anymore.

Anyone got any idea?

(dual-core and dynarec optimalizations are on)

The game is not fully supported, perhaps? Most games cannot be played from start to finish and are more or less buggy.

It seems supported at least a bit, this page does not tells me too much: http://www.dolphin-emu.com/lookup.php?gameid=111

Edit: bugs are clear for me, not this is the first emulator what i use.

No games are fully supported

if ur getting Full speed with full sound your doing it with a gamecube... not dolphin.

nobody researches anything on there own anymore do they?

Yeah, not even the difference between "there," "their" and "they're" is researched anymore.

What people don't seem to understand is even if there was an x86 build working at a descent speed, hardly any (if any) games would be fully playable, which is the case with the x64 build. Frankly, given the current state the emulator is in, I'm amazed the video plugin works as well as it does.
