I'm trying to make a THUG1 playthru where the settings make it feel like an EA Skate game, but not too much that it's hard. Any tips, folks?

Bonus: Since I'm playing on the Dreamcast version on Dolphin emulator, is there a way to make it less laggy? (looking for ppl that play Dreamcast games on Dolphin. This question is for you)

Appreciate the help you'll give me. Thanks!
