Breakpoints slow down games to a halt

September 23, 2020, 8:59 am

Hi all,

yesterday, I have tried using the debug features of Dolphin top help me make some ASM based Gecko codes for Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword.
I've tried this with both the latest dev version (5.0-12665) as well as the latest stable version (5.0-12247).
However, while both versions run the game flawlessly using the JIT Recompiler emulation engine, as soon as I set one breakpoint (doesn't matter if it's an execution opr memory breakpoint) the game slows down to 3% execution speed and 1 or 2 FPS. That makes the game totally unplayable even for debugging purposes.

The only way I could get a somewhat reasonable debugging environment going is when I switched the emulation engine to Cached Interpreter, which slows down the execution speed to 23-25% and setting a breakpoint brings it down to 18-20%. While that is still far from ideal, at least that makes the game *just* playable enough to go through some of the motions to trigger my memory breakpoints.

Is this an expected behaviour even on a high end PC? I'm working on a PC with a Ryzen 7 3700x CPU, Nvidia RTX 2070 SUPER GPU and 32GB RAM.
So far, I've only tried all of this on my Windows 10 install, do you reckon it's worth trying it on my Linux system as well?

I'd appreciate if someone could help me out here! Thank you!!

Intel CPU Clock Speed

What is the clock speed where Dolphin would be able to run all games at full speed (other than the ones which can't be run on any hardware at the moment)? I read on here that it would be about 4.0Ghz for Haswell, but what would that equate to for the newer Intel architectures like coffee lake?

Whenever I activate the 60FPS and Widescreen Gecko codes I'm using, they never work. The widescreen works up until the press start screen, then it reverts back to normal. The 60 FPS does nothing at all. Here are the codes:





Widescreen:

Windows Power Plan doesn't recognize GameCube controller adapter input

September 23, 2020, 5:55 pm

Game Name?

Any game

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When using GameCube adapter for Wii U, Windows Power Plan will not recognize any input coming from the GameCube controller, even if Dolphin recognizes input. As a result, Windows will automatically turn off the display and/or put the computer to sleep in the middle of gameplay. It will do this even during intense game segments.
After the display is turned off, sound can still be heard and the controller will act as normal within Dolphin, but its input will not reawaken the display.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

In Control Panel > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings, to save time while testing issue, set Turn off the display to 1 minute and Put the computer to sleep to Never.

1. Set controller settings to GameCube adapter for Wii U and connect GameCube controller.
2. Start a game.
3. Wait until display turns off. Take note of any controller input made.
(Super Smash Bros. Melee is an easy game to test this on. With above power settings listed above, the screen should turn off right at Sheik's segment of the opening video.)

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes. 5.0-12683

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

No. 5.0

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

5.0-10007 1 year, 5 months ago Config: Move the 'Display' settings from ConfigManager to the layered config system (PR #7841 from iwubcode)

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

Windows 10 x64
Intel Core i7-6700 @ 3.40GHz
AMD Radeon RX 480
16GB total RAM

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

1. If using a Standard Controller configuration (Xinput, Dinput, etc.) Windows will indeed recognize input, so even if the screen powers down pressing a button/key will turn the screen back on.

2. For 5.0-10005 and earlier, Dolphin seems to override Windows Power settings - the display will not be turned off due to inactivity.

We can convert disc images on Android now!

Long press on your game and a new convert file option is in the menu. You get an excellent choice of options like, ISO, GCZ, WIA, and the new and only for official RVZ. I tried to convert Skyward Sword to WIA just to test it and found that it doesn't keep your screen on while converting, no cancel option, and I think it auto cancelled when I touched the screen and haven't tried it again yet. But you can pick the path for the new file! Just don't make the mistake of assuming I'm an expert please. Hitting it with a hammer doesn't make it work better!

Description

Game Name?

Mario Smash Football (Gamecube)
Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

Game ID?

G4QP01
R4QE01

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When there are cutscene or idle animation for something (like superkick animation or goal celebration) the audio is glitchy and the frame rate is very low. at native resolution this is not appearing, as i change resolution I have this problem. I tried different combination of graphic setting and i can't resolve this issue at higher resolution than native. higher is the resolution worst is the framerate. This is a huge problem for the second game (Mario Strikers Charged (Wii) [R4QE01] ) where if you must save goals from a special/multiple kick of the team captain you are not able to save any kick because of he glitchy animation and the stutter screen where you are unable to use the wiimote that moves in jerks. as for the other game with native resolution this problem doesn't appear.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

do super/special/multiple kick with the team captain (hold b)

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

tested on 5.0-12685

Hi, I would like to know if the emulator has an option similar to a scrip in the configuration of the controls to be able to have turbo on the buttons (that when you press once a key it repeats several times), and if not, some scrip for autohockey with a similar function.

V-Sync bug

V-Sync stays enabled (Even when disabled) and causes any game to micro stutter in Render to Main Window, normal window and fullscreen

To reproduce bug, Enable Render to Main Window in config, boot a game and go fullscreen
(Without the Use Fullscreen setting in config, use dolphin's fullscreen button).
Use the Tab key (Emulation Speed Hotkey) The screen should flash a black screen and then the game screen tears which is normal
(This doesn't cause any frame skipping or micro stuttering, runs as intended).

Now close the game with ESC and boot into another game, Use the Tab button to speed up the game,
now go into fullscreen, now click Tab again.

Results: Screen no longer tears, flashes a black screen even when V-Sync is disabled and now micro stutters constantly and starts to
skips frames every 10 seconds

(You may have to repeat the steps again if it doesn't work, you may have to use Alt+Enter to fullscreen and then click ESC).

Closing dolphin fixes this until you decide to boot another game.

I always use DDU to clean my graphics every update

Around a year or so ago, not long after the official 5.0 release, Sin and Punishment started running real slow when it transitions to a different screen.  But after that it runs fine again.  But the wiki page still says it runs perfect with EFB to texture only disabled.  Can someone take a look into this?

Paper Mikeytale Demo Release (Biggest Super Paper Mario Mod to date)

This is Paper Mikeytale, the largest, most ambitious Super Paper Mario Hack to date, with over 3,000+ new texture assets, an entire, reworked script, and a whole new original soundtrack by Nicholas Koopman, Paper Mikeytale is designed to be a fresh, new experience that uses the Super Paper Mario Engine to its fullest! "What IS Paper Mikeytale" you may ask? Paper Mikeytale stars a recently graduated young group of friends, who go on a globe-trotting, road trip-like adventure to stop their old friend, Joe, who has taken over the fabric of reality. They need to bust out and get back home, to enjoy their last summer before College rolls around. A satirical take on the original SPM's story, Paper Mikeytale puts the player in the position of "what if the 'bad guys' won? Then what?" and it designed to subvert the expectations of those who played the original game.
