Make sure both “Enable Duel Core” and “Enable Idle Skipping” are checked.

IF your like an ADHD child and leave everything open on your computer so its always using a combined total over 4GB ram. however in most cases u dont even need the 64bit version of a 32bit app seeing as a single consumer level app doesn't use over 4GB of Ram single handedly, so the only thing u may loose by using 32 app on 64bit cpu is multitask friendlyness.

In the case of free apps tho, 64bit would be just for compatability for instruction sets of 64bit cpus, no performance difference what so ever(CPU speed remaining equal that is). like everything else in life, its just lies and gimics, to sell you things you don't need. There's actually currently no real world logical use for 64bit for the average consumer. What does have a Big impact tho is if your trying to run an emu on a Intel VS AMD cpu.

do the options in the link, point out anything that maybe allows u to run the latest version at the same speed by perhaps disabling a fancy new option ?ģ2 or 64 bit shouldn't make any difference (unless its pooorly coded). If i were at a machine setup for this I'd test it myself, but if you have the where-with-all to follow the instructions in the bellow link, Id be curious to know if u havn't already. But like most things in life, i also believe there is a healthy compromise that probably should not be forgotten. Iv heard of the different methods emu devs take, and realize the reasoning behind the resource intensive LLE path. I haven't messed with those emu's yet, but do like to know which versions are most efficent.

P.D: Maybe, since I can't really tell, Dolphin new "unstable" versions are as fast as the stable 3.5 version, but can't really tell, since I don't have a 圆4 OS, mostly because I like to play a lot of old games on Windows XP. This one will take care of ugly graphical glitches like text and textures disappearing, and will also give you the feel of a SNES emulator quality. It's the one before Dolphin started slowing down on me, and yes, I searched the version before it slowed down(it's not that bad if you jump versions and try to guess which one it is). If you find some bugs you could try the stable one. And I mean great by the way, SNES emulator quality, it was that good.

3.5 worked great after a few tweaks I learned from testing Dolphin 4.0.2. Well it happens that I stumbled upon this great outdated Dolphin guide with links to old Dolphin versions, in a last ray of hope I decided to try those ones. But that was still very away from optimal sound, sound was still stuttering and sounding pretty bad, video was ok. Well, seems using the experimental video and audio plugins speeded it up around 20%.

Determined, I tried many things, that is, checking and unchecking boxes, searching the interwebs, what I sometimes do when emulators seem to not be cooperating. I had a feeling Dolphin 4.0.2 was slowing down unnecessarily.
