edit 2: the only fix for this is to completely delete the emulator and all associated files, and then reinstall.

But for respected youtubers to make videos on this emulater (MVG), more or less singing its praises and saying you'll be 'very happy with it' without a mention of this crippling performance issue, is kind of surprising. This setting is effectively useless, and therefore renders games which don't reach 60fps natively essentially unplayable. It does not matter, 100%, whether this adjustment is isolated to a specific game (you can set per game profiles) or if you use the universal settings. Basically, any time you change this from auto a much lower value (1, in my case, as it the only way to get a consistent 60 fps on Hot Shots Golf) the performance will be fantastic until you exit out of a game, and then complete trash when you restart the emulator. the SPU core control *seems* to be the main culprit. 5900hs, so, another 8 core 16 thread, high performance part.

Anyhow, can't spend another frustrating night (2nd in a row) trying to get it to work for more than an hour at a time.Įdit: Tried it on a different laptop, AMD this time.

Literally feels like something akin to a memory leak issue but RAPIDLY accelerated. Super disappointing because it's a great emulator when it works. I've never had this problem before with any other emulator and have scoured the internet for similar problems and found nothing that addresses my specific problem. Something happens after playing it for a while/closing it, that conflicts with the existing C++ packages that are installed. It has something to do with the VC Runtimes I think, as most times it can be fixed by a full deletion and reinstallation of the emulator package. Additionally, I've disabled undervolting, CPU or GPU, and uninstalled any program that would be related to that.

I've tried everything in terms of programs to dictate priority to the emulator, as well as stop windows power states from limiting it in any way. After I close out and restart, without fail, the framerate dives precipitously, into the single digits and teens, with low CPU and GPU utilization. I have a Asus s17 I'm running it on and the performance is fine when I initially start the emulator (can get 60fps in most titles, pushing 1440p-gpu is rarely the bottleneck though). The emulator has a serious problem in terms of performance degradation.
