Emulator

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. On systems with intermittent FPS dropping
2. Disable - Enable Dual Core will create smooth but slow FPS
3. Some System are cutting in and out of the Enable Dual Core Dolphin
   setting while in Play

What is the expected output?
To Bring this to the attention of people working on Dolphin, May result in
smoother FPS and more stable EMU.

MY system:¶

AMD Phenom 8650+ Triple Core Processor 2.30Gig
4Gig DDR2 PC8500 (1066Mhz)
Nvidia Geforce 9600GT DDR3 1G - Driver 197.45
Main-board - ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI
VISTA Ultimate 32Bit

Dolphin v2
Dolphin r5442

Running Gamebooster 1.4 Before Launch Dolphin.

I believe I have found a error regarding the Slow down and loss of frame
rates on some systems.

It dose not matter how I set Dolphin my Frame Rates are 60-55min FPS but I
get a slow down intermittently to 25 FPS

My Friend has few PCs in his home, One the same as mine but a Dual core
with 2gig RAM and a Geforce 8500. His frames do not drop and sit at 50-55 FPS.
Also he has a Quad core systems AMDs 3GIG with on-board ATI 4200 2gig ram
sheared no frame drop and sits again at 50-60 FPS.
Both his systems windows XP.
Dolphin Settings are 100% same as mine as I took My Dolphin's there.

My test was running gamebooster to shut-down Vista to get it close to XP's
non GUI style.
Result error still there games all run 70plus FPS and it drops at random to
same 25ish FPS.

TEST that makes me believe I have found something needing to be brought to
attention.

My System:
Turning off - Enable Dual Core in Dolphin:
Game runs at the very speed that the slow down drops to, game dose not
change in speed as before with drop and runs very smooth only at the sad
25ish FPS.

Friends PCs:
Turning off - Enable Dual core in Dolphin:
Both Systems Run at almost Identical speed of my system, minus the one or
two FPS different due the Different CPU core speeds.

Conclusion: Maybe a Error with Enable Dual core in Dolphin dropping out and in.

Question: My AM2 is far faster than his AM3 but would that affect this?

I have know Idea why this is maybe the way Dolphin talk with Vista for the
CPU...

Would like to see others try this and see if its the same for them.
Any reply would be nice to read.

I am sure I speak for everyone when I say the hard and amazing work put in
by all the people working on Dolphin is incredibly and amazing.
