    Unhappy Dolphin performance issues

    I have an HP laptop running Windows 7 SP1 and for some reason, it's lagging a lot when I try to play Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess on Dolphin 5.0. My other game, Soul Calibur 2 works just fine; running between 52 to 60 fps almost constantly, but twilight princess usually dips between 21 fps to 35 fps and it causes the audio to lag a lot. I'd be okay with the slight frame drops if it weren't for the audio sounding like I'm trying to rip apart tin foil. Any help? Thanks.

    Processor: AMD E2-7110 APU with AMD Raedon 2 Graphics
    Ram: 4 GB
    64-bit OS

    Or even better just buy a Wii, they are cheap enough and very easy to mod, the only extra I would recommend though is a large USB HDD, oh and also go for one with GC ports for GameCube pads and memcards, heh you can even emulate tons of other consoles directly on the Wii as an added bonus.

    yeah that'll be a tough sell. I'm betting OP wants to play games for "free".

    The games will be for free and still cheaper than buying a new rig just to emulate Wii games that emulation is not perfect for all games or need alot of tweaking to start with

    either way the OP will need to buy something
