Does Dolphin work your CPU more than say...your standard high end PC game like Farcry

3, or The Witcher 2
I've always wanted to ask this.

Oh, Hell, Yes! No PC game is anything like as CPU demanding as Dolphin emulator. PC games are running code designed to run on a pc with an x86 processor. Dolphin only has access to PowerPC code, designed to run on a Wii, so it has to work out what it does, and make new code that does kinda the same thing, and then optimise it, then check it for errors, then run it. There'll be more or less nothing more demanding a normal person may ever want to use until someone tries to make a functioning XBox 360 or PS3 emulator, and that's a good few years away at least.

I don't think a 360 emulator is worth it, for the same reason a original Xbox one is.
So anyways, your CPU gets hotter playing games on Dolphin opposed to high end games then?

[AnyOldName3]

Probably. It's very unlikely PC games would put your processor at full load, but likely that Dolphin would.

Yep, Dolphin is in most cases more demanding than a normal PC game

PC game =/= emulator

[ExtremeDude2]

PC game != emulator

There, much better

This is the best: ≠

Really? I'd have thought a more commonly used character would be Zero. Anyway, that don't work on Windows.
