Frame Skipping - Can Be Found in
Emulation/
Frame Skipping Must Be Enabled In-GameQ.
What Does it Do?A. A software feature that skips the display of certain frames of animation to improve performance at the expense of visual smoothness.
Recommend At Least +1 Frame Skip For Most Games Must Be Enabled In-Game Running a Bat FileQ. What Does a Bat File Do?
A. What this does is close the graphical user interface of windows, "
explorer.exe", when you start Dolphin. This
is a very CPU and Memory hogging process.
It opens "explorer.exe" again when you close Dolphin. Doing this should give you a little FPS boost.
Pre-Made Bat FileMario's Super Dolphin Launcher V2 http://tinyurl.com/2vjd2hs Recommended!!Just Place in Dolphin Folder And Run.
Make Sure You place the bat file in your Dolphin folder
= = =
Make Your Own Bat File !!! = = = =
Open notepad and put in this code:
TASKKILL /IM EXPLORER.EXE /F
start /high /wait DolphinIL.exe
start explorer.exe
For JIT
TASKKILL /IM EXPLORER.EXE /F
start /high /wait Dolphin.exe
start explorer.exe
And If you Have Vista Running The Sidebar.
TASKKILL /IM EXPLORER.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM SIDEBAR.EXE /F
start /high /wait DolphinIL.exe
start explorer.exe
start sidebar "without .exe"
Now save the file as a ".bat" in the Dolphin's main folder (Example Dolphin.bat), making sure to change the "Save as type" drop menu to "All Files". It doesn't matter what file name you give it, as long as you make sure to end it in ".bat".
