B-b-but getting a job means having to work, why can't we live in a world where we can just take whatever we want.

Theft for everyone!

Most games in Dolphin will run fine on an I3 or post-2011 Pentium G (Especially the new Haswell ones that are coming out in September.)
This doesn't include stuff that requires overclocking like Super Mario Galaxy (LLE) and others.

You can! Just follow my patented 5 step plan:

1. Start fascist revolution
2. Elect pauldacheez to become literally hitler
3. Invade neighboring countries and take their stuff
4. Overthrow crazy dictator
5. Repeat as necessary

I have just tried the frame skipping in 3.0-557 with both Luigi´s Mansion and Mario Kart: Double Dash!, and it seems that the function adds bits of speed (and by "bits of speed" I mean a 0.2% to 1.6% speed boost); the bad thing is that since the emulator is "jumping" some frames, the game´s video is not fluent.

And about the invasion plan and that Hitler thing, I agree with all of you!!

We already do live in such a world. You can go to the store and freely take whatever pleases you. You will, however, have to deal with the consequences :/ (like the law).

It depends on how terrible your GPU is, i usually get ample returns when i set it to 2 (last time i tried, a hell of a long time ago), i would have liked to show screenshots but i doubt accurate framerates are displayed while skipping frames.

Man, right now I´ve got some problem: I was playing one of my games in Dolphin 3.5 (the stable one) and everything was good. But when I clicked the icon "Stop", it appears a message that says that Dolphin must be closed. I check the folder and I find a file called exceptioninfo.txt. Is that file related to the emulator crash?? Here are the files; the crash image (I´m sorry for the image but my system is in spanish) and exceptioninfo.txt log.

[CryZENx]

what happends if you use the newest build of 3.5? Are you getting still the same error?

[oliverfrancisco]

Yes, but when the game starts. Anyway I´ll try it again just in case.

Edit: Ok, yes, the message still appears; but this time when the game I want to emulate starts. (3.5-1721, x86 version).
