These games will run of course but you should test by yourself to see what performance you really get. Then adjust eventually your settings and come back on the forum if you got issues you can't solve

I'm going be building an HTPC that can handle Dolphin emulation, the budget is quite low.

The system I've been researching hardest is:
AMD A6-3650 - it can OC to 3.1-3.4 on stock cooling from what I can tell, and I'd use the video on the chip. To get the most out of that video I'd use 1866 ddr3.

For $11 I can swap out to a Pentium G850, drop to 1333 ddr3, and a GT430.

Would the additional cores help, knowing Dolphin has three threads or will the Intel outperform consistently?


Also, what type of boost would an extra $100 for the i5 really get me? Like does it make a whole different class of game playable? I'll be playing at 720p.

AMD 4 core : Gain 10% for background processing (compare to AMD 2 core)
Pentium Sandy Bridge : 10-20% faster than 1st gen i3 (Hyper Threading is disabled) and 1st gen i3 is faster than LLano abit on dolphin
-> Yes it will out-perform LLano unless you oc Llano to 3.5Ghz

i5 2500k @ 4.4ghz is required for LLE back-end
Mario Galaxy , Rhythm Heaven .... need LLE to fix the missing audio or to sync audio correctly
