Dolphin-emu: How can I make it run smoother?

[brantpadams]

Basically, iso files like Super Smash Bros Melee will run at speeds of about 20% on my machine. As you can imagine it's less than ideal.

I've played around in the configuration settings to try and see if I can't speed the frame rate up, but I haven't had a lot of luck. I was hoping someone might be able to show me how I can get these sort of games to run at more normal speeds.

My machine is a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop running a X3100 Media Accelerator card.

As always, much appreciated.

Hi, do you have additional drivers enabled? (for graphics card)

[brantpadams]

The only thing that shows under my additional drivers option is my STA wireless card, nothing for my graphics card.

It'll be difficult, at best, to run Dolphin well on a laptop with integrated graphics. The requirements are just too high.

That's pretty much what I've gathered. No use kicking a dead horse. I've now moved my attention to trying to get lxdream to work. For some reason I can't even access its video settings.
