Please use "CPU-Z" to give us the exact specs : CPU , GPU (graphic) . i5 2520M and i5 2410M are 2 different CPUs
If your laptop don't have dedicated GPU from Nvidia / AMD , you can expect bad performance with Dolphin

its i5 2410M my graphics says Integrated Intel® GMA HD

With Integrated GPU - Intel HD 3000 (Yes , i'm sure it is Intel HD 3000 , not the GMA HD ) , you should use the lowest settings
Sonic Heroes should play well , not full speed though
Twilight Princess will not play well if you use the correct settings for that game (include "EFB copies to RAM" and LLE back end which are very demanding)

it is the integrated GMA HD sorry lol and i still cant get anything to work

Intel GMA HD is the integrated GPU for 1st generation Intel Core i series
My i5 480M is 1st gen , so it has GMA HD . GMA HD is terrible , it does not meet the minimum GPU requirement for Dolphin
Intel HD 3000 is the integrated GPU for 2nd gen Intel Core i5/i7
i5 2410M is 2nd gen , so it has HD 3000

Download Realtemp and run it
Post a screenshot of Realtemp to see what's your CPU clock speed while Dolphin is running
