Dolphin has | Dolphin has two performance related configuration windows: Dolphin configuration and Graphics settings, in addition to applying settings per game through game properties. Dolphin is a very demanding program, so configuring Dolphin the right way is very important to run games smoothly. | ||

These settings will improve emulation compatibility and/or enhance quality for HD gameplay in exchange of PC performance. | |||

It is required that your graphic card supports at least OpenGL 3.3+ and/or Direct3D 10.1+. Vulkan and Direct3D 12 are still in experimental phase and they are still not recommended. | ||

* '''Internal Resolution''' - "Auto - (Multiple of 640x528)" is recommended. If emulation suffers from slowdowns when going to fullscreen, change it to "1x Native (640x528)", and go up from there until you can find the highest setting without slowdown. | * '''Internal Resolution''' - "Auto - (Multiple of 640x528)" is recommended.

It's off by default for greater emulation accuracy. | ||
