No idea where else I could post this, but it's nice info for those interested.

As you might be aware, the GC SADX port can sometimes run at an inconsistent framerate even though it usually runs at 60 frames all the time. There are rare moments where the game can go down to 30 for brief moments at odd places (such as running up the first ramp in Emerald Coast). This isn't exclusive to this prototype. Dolphin even emulates these slowdowns as well.

However if you'd like to run the game in Dolphin without the frame rate issues that occur even when running on actual hardware, try using the Ishiiruka Dolphin versions. You can overclock the GC CPU to over double the stock clockrate which can help give you a better experience. You can also prevent some hitching by using the Async Shader option. These features aren't available under the normal development versions of Dolphin as of right now, but I highly recommend trying it out. In this case, I eliminated pretty much all slow down in this version by changing the clock rate from 100% (default) to 200%.

Also, I'm not sure if this was mentioned before. The region for this prototype is PAL, but you can easily change it to NTSC by using a hex editor to change 0x3 from 53 to 4A. This way you can play the prototype in 60fps rather than 50.

Much obliged for that link. I can actually run games well with this. Before I was always like at 98% which is fine but just slightly irritating.
