You can configure settings per game through their GameINI. GameINI is a plain text file with game's GameID as its file name and INI as its file extension. It can be retrieved from game's properties; right-click the game from game list then choose '''Properties''' from the context menu, then click on the '''Edit Config''' button and edit the empty text file that pops up. When editing, carefully arranged line, headings, and capitalization are important. | You can configure settings per game through their GameINI.

SyncGPU is a speed hack for dual core mode to allow games to get around dual core glitches without having to use single core. Usually not much faster than single core mode. | SyncGPU is a speed hack for dual core mode to allow games to get around dual core glitches without having to use single core.

*<code>SyncGPU = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable the "Synchronize GPU thread" respectively. | *<code>SyncGPU = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable the "Synchronize GPU thread" respectively. Even with this setting set to false, Dolphin will still synchronize the threads during idle skipping. | ||
On Android, the Synchronize GPU thread setting instead provides three choices. To set the same configurations through the GameINI (which also works on non-Android versions) use: | |||
*<code>SyncGPU = True</code> and <code>SyncOnSkipIdle = True</code> for "Always" | |||
*<code>SyncGPU = False</code> and <code>SyncOnSkipIdle = True</code> for "On idle skipping" | |||
*<code>SyncGPU = False</code> and <code>SyncOnSkipIdle = False</code> for "Never" | |||
=== GPU Overclock === | |||
*<code>SyncGpuOverclock= 1.0</code> translates to "100%" GPU clock. The value of Overclock can be any float, and it acts as a multiplier; 0.5 is 50%, 1.0 is 100%, 1.5 is 150%, 2.0 is 200%, etc. This setting has an effect only if SyncGPU is enabled or Dual Core is disabled. <!-- Deterministic dual core might work too --> | |||
