Best Performance Guide for Dolphin

### For Reloaded (or any version of Shadow) to run at full 60FPS at all times / have better performance, perform the below.

**Graphics -> General:**

Make sure your **Graphics Backend** is set to **Vulkan or D3D11**. Shadow runs poorly on OpenGL and D3D12 in current versions of Dolphin (2407 at time of writing).

**Graphics -> Enhancements:**

Internal Resolution: Any are allowed. The higher you go the better hardware you need. I personally run 3x Native.

Anti Aliasing is None or 2x or 4x MSAA only, SSAA will have issues with some effects. I use None.

**Graphics -> Hacks:**

Enable everything except Vertex Rounding / VBI Skip (your call if you want those)

GPU Texture Decoding Slider should be set to the **Middle option** due to bugs in Dolphin

**Config -> General:**

Uncheck/Disable "Enable Dual Core (speedup)" - This crashes the game a lot, very redundant if you are on hardware newer than 8th gen middle tier CPUs.

**Config -> Advanced:**

Enable Emulated CPU Clock Override (132 or 150 or 200)

If your CPU can handle it, you want to set a higher CPU clock rate to get a consistent 60 FPS.

A Wii clock rate (150%) is great on 99% of stages, 200% would be ideal for full consistent 60FPS at all times.

If you are on lower end hardware I recommend around 130-135%. That said, default clockspeed is fine if your hardware can't keep up, you'll just have a few 40-50fps sections.

**Game Properties (Right Click the Game -> Properties):**

Uncheck "Emulate Disc Speed".

This should already be done automatically if you followed the Reloaded Setup Guide and copied `GUPR8P.ini` to your Dolphin \GameSettings folder.
