Project M Slow Loading on Dolphin with Gecko

[BrastaSauce]

FPS wise, my game is fine and can support all players at a smooth FPS. However, the problem, which I don't have in SSBB, is that when loading a map (or just anything relative to Stage Select, like going back from it) causes very long loading times. I can still move the menu around and everything, the game is still running and working. It just takes forever for the match to load and it becomes cumbersome.

Any ideas or a fix to this? Thanks in advance.

Specs? Virtual SD? Any mods? What do you mean you can move the menu around during the loading?

After that it takes about a minute or two to get into the actual match.

That's very strange. Well it's most certainly not your specs.
Are you using Dolphin to just play or for mod testing? If you're just playing I highly recommend you switch to injected iso. Also what version of Dolphin are you running?

Injected ISO might solve it, but it shouldn't be the cause since I use the SD method. Also please take screenshots of your graphics settings. Also, OpenGL is the prefered method. Its all around faster, and you can load an HD texture pack with it.

OpenGL is only faster on NVIDIA cards, so yeah he should use OpenGL.

Here are my graphic settings.

Your settings are fine, but you should be able to play at like, MAXIMUM settings, 4xNative 4xSSAA 16xAF Per pixel lighting, texture filtering, yada yada, but I would say DEFINITLY upgrade to 4.0.2 And if no performance increase occurs, try to enable skip EFB acess, but only if 4.0.2 doesnt fix it.

Well I updated and kept all of my data and everything and it worked! Thanks a ton, but a new problem has arrived. The audio is very buggy and sounds like I'd be getting a low FPS, although it's staying at a smooth 58-60+.

Edit: Apparently this seems to be a problem for others aswell after updating to 4.0.x

Make sure your GeckoOS hook type is set to VBI.
Also try using vsync.

Injected iso removes this problem.

Sooooo I'm getting this problem except on my hacked wii. Any ideas?

I changed my SD card and now it works as it should.
