Status changed from New to Questionable

You realize this could just be caused by your computer struggling to run the games, many source code changes can cause any game to run slow.
It would help if you posted the revision that you are currently using.

Well, I have a machine similar to yours, and I KNOW it can't run every game in Full Speed, maybe only Smash Bros. games and NSMB... The problem is the Processor... 2.3GHz is just too little to run games on Dolphin at full speed...

I have made many tests regarding overclock with this processor... You can overclock it to up to 2.69GHz (235MHz x 11.5 - Multiplier is locked on this processor) with no problems... Just need to cool it a little bit more, since it will increase the temp... If this processor get to over 75°C, it may start to get unstable, so be careful.

BTW @ 2.69GHz you get about 7FPS more on most games (Mario Kart Wii runs at an average of 45FPS (on the first circuit, with a max of around 52FPS) with optimal configurations with DX3D9 Plugin at stock speed, but with this overclock you can get up to 60FPS, and an average of 52FPS... which makes a huge difference....

But, with your build, all you need to change is your processor... Try getting a Phenom II x4 955 and you'll probably get around 15+ FPS (compared to your current processor) on most games, I'm sure...

This is maybe true becaue I have played one piece unlimited cruise 2 on revision 4664 and any of the latest revisons:4664 works 60% and higher;but the latest one only 30-40%
Maybe is because in latest revions you have to add a patch ;but why the game till loading screen runs at 100% but doesnt load in latest revisions;I noticed that in 4664 speed drops till 60% when it comes to loading screen and then loads;maybe there lays a solution;....just an opinion......xD
