Dolphin Emulator - 14 FPS on a runable pc?!

[RealBenHoward]

Afternoon, I am quite new to this whole RecalBox Emulastation stuff and find it pretty cool.

The issue I have is when I boot into a game that uses the dolphin emulator, it fails to run it, as in it will work at 14 fps or lower!

I know my pc is powerful enough as i have played them on windows using dolphin but it doesn't seem to work on here?

Any help?!

@realbenhoward it might be that your graphic card is "too new" for our current kernel, but usually you would feel slowdowns everywhere. Do the other emulator play fine? You could try to disable your graphic card to see if that´s the issue and/or wait for the next official releases as we are upgrading a few things that should make newer hardware more compatible.

@paradadf my graphics card is a intergrated intel hd graphics one. but dolphin on recalbox can only see OpenGL, ive managed to up the fps by changing a few settings but there is still more power avalliavble for it.

If it's a nvidia GPU, you might want to use the unofficial image with proprietary drivers and follow the guide here : https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/15914/recalbox-pc-x86_64-avec-les-drivers-nvidia

Open-source nvidia drivers just sucks (up to 20 times slower), and that's what official recalbox image is using.
