Dolphin Tips

I'm new to Gamecube emulation. I've spent the last several hours tweaking settings to try to get things to run smoothly, but I'm having a little trouble.

I recently bought a Sony SVE15115FXS laptop. Here are it's specs:

Intel Core i5 3210M Processor 2.5GHz
6 GB DDR3 RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4000'

I'm currently trying to get wind waker, twilight princess, SSBM, and Super Mario Sunshine to run. What kind of performance should I be able to expect? Things are running decently, but it's stuck around 60/70%.

Yep, this performance is, what you should expect. For more, you need a stronger CPU.

Provided you set your IR to 1x, all those games should run almost fullspeed except for twilight princess.

Thanks for the quick responses. I'll check out the link Starscream posted. Would overclocking have much of an impact?

[DefenderX]

Yeah... but i doubt, that you're able to overclock your CPU. Only Intel Extreme Mobile CPUs (XM) have an open multiplier.
