The instruction and memory timings are quite incorrect however, this seems not to hurt most titles. We are unaware of any outstanding issues in the core system hardware (CPU, DMA, MMU) but there are certainly still some.The microphone support is new and the manual should be consulted, where you will find out, among other things, that it is only supported in windows right now. Each renderer has strengths and weaknesses, which is why both are provided. One last thing - if buttons and labels and menus rendering on the 3d screen are obscured (for example, a button but no label is on it) then you may need to use the software rasterizer. Finally, all AMD users should disable Cool'n'quiet which doesn't work worth a crap. Tons of people run into these problems, believe it or not. Additionally, desktop users should investigate whether their system is clogged with dust, or a fan is malfunctioning, or a heatsink has fallen off of a chip. Desktop users should consider investigating this too, just in case. If you're using a laptop/notebook, try disabling power management or setting the system to run in maximum performance.Buying a newer, faster computer is somewhat more expensive, but it has other side benefits.If the game isn't using those features then this won't help. If you are using the software rasterizer, disable edge marking and fog if you feel like they aren't needed.Don't scale the window anything different than 1x and don't use resize filters.This is important for dual screen games and other weird cases. This merely hides the lcd, but it is still rendered. NOTE: View > LCDs Layout > One LCD *WILL NOT* increase your speed. (Tools > View Layers > Main GPU, etc) Consider disabling a screen which is useless in the game you are playing. There is now the option of disabling an entire screen.If screens seem stuck, pick a different frameskip value. Frameskipping is continually tweaked in each release to get more bang for the buck, but beware that dual screen 3d games still may not work well under frameskip. Even frameskipping by 1 will help and many games will stay playable. Don't use someone else's unofficial 'SVN' build, it probably is not fully optimized, since we make our Windows releases using some profiler-guided optimization, which helps by several FPS.Try listening to a shoutcast instead I recommend happyday new age or ah.fm! If you can handle it, turn off the sound altogether. In the Sound Settings, set interpolation to none.Use Dual SPU in the Sound Settings, and don't use Advanced SPU Logic.Disable this option: Config > Emulation Settings > Enable Bus-Level Timing.You may not like the results, but it may get you more speed. Try switching between OpenGL Renderer and Software Rasterizer.If you ARE using external BIOS images, (or must for some reason) try enabling Patch DelayLoop SWI. At any rate, here is the master list of tricks to speed things up:
