HEY WAIT, since when has there been a voiceover in the beginning?!?!?

@Marth8880 I think it appears every other time you start a new game.

[Marth8880]

@kyledawg92 Hmm, I'm not sure, 'cause I've started several new games before and I've NEVER heard it. :s Hmm...

[kyledawg92]

@Marth8880 Maybe a regional difference then? The version I used here was PAL.

Is it normal that Dolphin runs slowly on AMD hardware? I have a Phenom 9850 and it runs rather slow for me.

[kyledawg92]

@l33tpete Try build r6515 if it's slow for you. It's usually noted as the fastest build.

[Marth8880]

@kyledawg92 Hmm, that could definitely be a possibility; I own the NTSC version.

[Marth8880]

I take it this was run using a disc image of the game, correct?

How well will I be able to run most Gamecube and Wii games with my setup? Will I be able to play them at a high resolution with a solid framerate? Also, how would I make backups of my own copies?
