So pick a high clock rate CPU wherever possible and don’t worry too much about core count. Just like general pc gaming, the faster the clock rate, the better the performance. Once the dolphin emulator can dedicate a core to emulation and ideally have another one free for anything else, more cores will not help. If you had a single core then the emulator would have to share processing with the OS and anything else that was running and so would suffer. So long as the basic needs of your PC are met and ther is no conflict with the operating system, more cores will neot help. This means that having a 12 core CPU will not help much over a 4 core CPU. The basic emulation takes place in a single thread on your CPU. The Dolphin Emulator – like most emulators is very CPU heavy. Before we get into tweakig settings etc, you need to understnd what sort of demands the dolphin emulator places on your pc because the easiest way to nmake games play faster is to get more powerful hardware! So, first, we need to understand where the bottleneck is. I’m going to go into detail on the settings that you can use to help get a better fps on the dolphin emulator, but I just wanted to make sure that you understand that they will run at the intended fps unless the emulator (and your pc ) can’t keep up with demands. This makes most games unplayable and needs to be fixed before you can enjoy the game. The problems occur when your machine is not powerful enough to cope with the emulation and it starts to lag or run at a lower fps than intended. Most games will run at their intended fps rates and stop there. How do I Speed up Dolphin Emulator? There is no specific way to specify a number of frames per second for the Dolphin Emulator to run at. How to get Better fps on Dolphin Emulator
