Your CPU will be too weak for these games

Thats not true.
If you said his cpu won't be able to run it fullspeed 100% of the time, that would be correct, but the way you phrased it is completely wrong and incorrect !
He has i5 2310 which is about only 200 mhz slower then mine, and my cpu is not too weak for either SMG or Skyward Sword.
I doubt that 200 mhz really makes a noticable difference.

Not if you read all the posts . I meant his CPU is too weak to run these games full-speed.
If you did mean they'd be playable. They probably will

I don't know if I have magic cpu or just know how to properly optimize OS, setup dolphin etc..because I can pretty much run these games fullspeed on my pc.
I have not tested Skyward Sword a lot, but few hours I played it run 100% fullspeed all the time.
When I played SMG2 for about 10 hours ( or more ) it run fullspeed 100% of the time.
Only when one user provided a save late in the game did I find a rare spot where I was not able to get it to run fullspeed

You have i5 3570k ..are you telling me you can't run these games fullspeed on stock clocks ???

Were you using LLE?

I guess we can't really compare 2310 to 3570k.

For SMG 1/2: I haven't tested them enough yet with my 3570k. I've supposed they'd be too much demanding to be fully playable so I've planned to play them seriously only after overclocking

Yes of course I was using LLE with SMG, I was not using LLE with Skyward Sword because it's not required.

You thought wrong
With boost clock 3450k has, you only need to overclock for Last Story...
Remember, Zelda doesn't even need LLE..
As for SMG2, as I said, it only has rare drops, like 1% of the time..it's up to you if fullspeed 99% of the time is enough for you or not

Actually there are a few other games that I can't run full-speed at stock (as I had supposed it formerly). I've been testing and listing these games. I'll create a thread later on where I'll list them and where we'll be able to debate of this. It might be interesting

Ok, I am looking forward I can also test them if I have them
There are few games which run really slow, slower then Last Story, but since they don't seem to be demanding, I am thinking there is probably some kind of bug in dolphin with these games.
I think Brave is one of them, Chipmunks ( it has it in title forgot the name exactly ) and Battalion Wars.
But these games are running slower then Last Story...

We decided months ago RPGLord had a magic CPU.

My CPU is only a couple of hundred MHz below his, and I have to put up with 20-30 FPS in SMG.
