Hi all, I'm having a few problems with Dolphin 4.0.2 with regards to Wii emulation. Basically, I've tried Pokemon Battle Revolution and Mario Kart Wii and the sound constantly skips and lags. The game is running at around 95% speed (averaging about 56 FPS), which is rather strange as my rig should be able to run it at 100%. I've ended up having to play these games with my PC's sound turned off, and the problem's getting rather annoying. I believe that the fact that the game is only running at 95% is why the sound is skipping and there is some (but not very noticeable) framerate lag.
My rig is as follows:
Intel i7 - 2600K @ 3.4GHz (Factory overclocked to 3.9GHz)
nVidia GeForce GTX 590
16GB RAM
Windows 7 (64 Bit)
Dolphin 4.0.2 (64 Bit)
Here is my Dolphin config (Anything not listed is UNCHECKED):
-Config (General Tab)-
Enable Dual Core Checked

Everything else uncheked

So yeah, basically I'm wondering what I have to do to get 100% speed on my Wii games? Changing resolution, anti aliasing amount and ansiotropic filtering have practically impact on performance, so I'm thinking it doesn't have anything to do with my PC being underpowered. I'm able to run Battlefield 4 on Ultra settings, and while I know this doesn't have much bearing on how well emulation works, I think there's enough "grunt" there to power through it, especially since I've seen people on YouTube run at 60FPS at even higher resolutions. Has anyone else been able to run these games at full speed, or at least without audio skipping and lagging?
