Hey guys. Sorry if I sound like a noob but I was just wondering. Is my computer good enough to run Dolphin 100%? I have a Mid 2010 iMac running Bootcamp with Windows 7 64Bit. It has 4GB DDr3 Ram and ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card and intel i3 3.2 ghz processor. When I play dolphin now, it runs at decent speed but I just dont know if I have something configured wrong or what the problem is. Can someone help me out with the settings it should be at to run 100% if it can? And also, if i increase my RAM to 8GB, will it help with my emulation speed? Thanks.

Depends on the game , most games will run well if you use directx 9 back end (windows 7)
OpenGL is slow

Nope

The games I would like to play are Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Smash Bros Melee for the most part.

_Require "EFB copy to Ram" for the map , Hyrule Field slowdown (known issue)
LoZ TP should be playable . Don't expect full speed on Hyrule Field unless you have a better CPU
The GC version is less demanding

It should run full speed unless you play with your friend , multi-player/ 2-4 real players cause slowdown . The more (real) player your add the more slowdown you'll get
It's fine if you only play with 2-4 CPU (player)

So as long as I require efb copy to ram it will stop doing that map glitching thing? I really appreciate all of your help
