#How to speed up dolphin emulator on mac windows 10#

If OP got windows 10 with bootcamp, or used wine and chose directX it would be significantly faster than trying to play in Macos. I have a mac and have had the exact same problem as OP, macos just does a terrible job supporting any of the graphics backends used by Dolphin. I checked passmark and it scores within 10% on single core performance of my even older MacBook's i5 which could run dolphin games at 60fps with bootcamp windows 10. Breathe new life into your original Xbox games by easily scaling up the resolution that games. Dolphin is a very demanding program, so configuring Dolphin the right way is very important to run titles smoothly. On passmark (which I know isn't a particularly good benchmark) it's rated as about equivalent to a ten year old i5. xemu runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. Dolphin has two performance related configuration windows: Dolphin configuration and Graphics settings, in addition to applying settings per game via their GameINI. However it provides this boost at the expense of emulation accuracy, breaking some titles and removing effects. Skip EFB Access from CPU - Provides a speed boost. Keep in mind non-1x options may cause graphical issues in some titles. I never claimed that it was, I just pointed out that OP's M5 performs about the same as my even older mobile i5 chip. Start with minimum option like '1x Native (640x528)', and go up from there until you can find the highest setting without slowdown. This isn't a MacBook air, it's a MacBookTM with a core m processor, it's like a 5 watt chip, it's hot garbage. And dolphin itself has been around long before any of the core-I processesors even existed. It is by no means a super demanding program.

It's rated as about equivalent to a ten year old i5.ДЄnd a 10 year old i5 will run dolphin just fine.
