::::Anyway, the guide is little bit bland. Why not we do something with previous topic above this? We can merge [[DSP LLE]] and other quality guides to here to make it more useful than just a guide how to reset back to default.

:::::I'm against that. It's best to keep it separate and to the point. If you look at the history on the page, you'll note that there has been TONS of problems with people uploading random settings that make zero sense. It got so bad for so long it just had to be locked. Isolated like this, that can be contained here and leave the rest of the stuff open and available for editing, like what you did on the ripping guide. Besides, we tried merging. The [[Dolphin Manual]] fell through. Yes it's bland, yes it's kind of annoying to keep around (I have always said how much I hate this guide) but this really is the best option. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 08:49, 18 April 2014 (CEST) | :::::I'm against that.

::::::I agree with MaJoR. This guide is a mess, and there's no way of improving it (from my point of view). I prefer leaving this messy guide as it is now until something more appropriate is done (like finishing Dolphin Manual), no matter how long it takes... [[User: | ::::::I agree with MaJoR.

Err, bump? I think we should reeally get rid of this before 5.0. Most (if not all) the info present here is already baked in Dolphin's tooltips/config screens, not to mention it's not updated for a while, I see no point in maintaining this guide... - [[User: | Err, bump?

:That was what I was trying to say from the start. Though transforming this page into ELI5 quality guide with screenshots to show difference will be awesome, like what is Anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing, regarding issues with dualcore, etc., with the addition of "you should leave settings default for the most optimal performance".

::Currently working on remaking the page, anyone who wants to help is welcome. P.D I am remaking this as a config guide rather than a performance, so i suggest renaming this as "Configuration Guide" or "How to configurate Dolphin"[[User:EblfIYH|EblfIYH]] ([[User talk:EblfIYH|talk]]) 22:07, 14 May 2017 (CEST) | ::Currently working on remaking the page, anyone who wants to help is welcome.

::: I strongly oppose linking game pages into the guide like on the recent edit. Dolphin is always evolving and a game linked here might not need the mentioned setting in future. Regarding the naming, if we change it from "Performance Guide" to anything else, soon we'll have the same issue this guide miserably fails to address: users that think the default settings are slow and thus they think they need a performance guide (especially users on low-end machines)... - [[User: | ::: I strongly oppose linking game pages into the guide like on the recent edit.

::::: There should now be category pages for each configuration option that may be more appropriate to link to if you want to associate options with relevant titles.

:::: Eh, this is wiki, some random editors could be around to update whatever is outdated. Linking to a category and transform exhaustive list into concise information will help but going as far as linking to a specific game should be fine if there's no better way. Dolphin UI have improved over time and lot of obscure performance hit settings became redundant and removed, and I don't think people will have problem finding what settings in Dolphin configuration are performance hit nowadays. I feel that there are someone who still don't get what's the importance behind settings like AA/AF, so transforming this page into more general configuration guide and still point out performance hit settings seems like in good direction.

::::: Understood, but our general experience has been that things are frequently slow to be updated. Particularly with things that are to be highly linked to, like this guide, we'd prefer to keep things aligned to reduce the need for frequent updates. The categories are likely to be more closely aligned with reality over time, without specific maintenance. In the case of one off titles I'd be more supportive of linking to them, though I'd generally prefer to instantiate new categories if necessary than linking to specific titles.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 07:24, 21 May 2017 (CEST) | ::::: Understood, but our general experience has been that things are frequently slow to be updated.
