Here are some things related to running Xenoblade<\/em> on Dolphin<\/a>\u00a0since it took me a disturbingly long time to work them out.<\/p>\n

First off, you need<\/em> a high base-speed processor. The number of cores is mostly irrelevant since Dolphin\u00a0can only use two of them; meaning a 4-gig two-core will run it better than a 3-gig 8-core. Second of all\u2026 you need to not screw up your settings. The settings I finally ended up settling on that give only slight slowdown in some areas\/battles (with an AMD FX-6100, GeForce GTX 460, and 8GB RAM) are:<\/p>\n

– OpenGL, 1920\u00d71080, Auto, Use Fullscreen, Hide Mouse Curser, Render to main Window
\n– 2x Native Resolution, No AA or Filtering, Scaled EFB Copy
\n– Skip EFB Access, Texture, Fast, Disable, Fast Mipmaps, Disable Per-Pixel Depth, OpenMP Decoder
\n– Load Custom Textures<\/p>\n

– Enable Dual Core, Enable Idle Skipping, Auto, JIT Recompiler
\n– Use Panic Handlers
\n– DSP HLE Emulation, DSound, 48000 Hz<\/p>\n

After you get things set-up so that you can actually play the game at higher-than-base resolution, you\u2019ll want to go over<\/a> here<\/a> and grab some hi-res textures. The packs pretty much only cover the interface, but something is better than nothing.<\/p>\n

Also, here\u2019s<\/a> an altered version of the PS3 button pack from the first link made to fit my custom control scheme:<\/p>\n
