Hello,
I would like to play GameCube games on my laptop. Since my Cd reader dont accept small DVD I already made isos with acetone IsO. I use linux mint.
The problem comes from my configuration.
I have a TOSHIBA satellite pro L650 Here is data sheet
My CPU is a dual core intel i3 M330 . This is barely not enough. I can play crash bandicoot 4, it works but when I jump it lags for a few seconds... I just need a little more power. I tried to configure Dolphin but when I installed it was already configured for low power PC... I read that some people used older version of dolphin with no problem... Do I have to try with older versions ?
Here is an example of Zelda - twilight princess running on dolphin with a core i3 M350 which is just a little more preforment than my M330. Look at the specs under the video info.
The graphical card is the same : Mobility Radeon HD 5145 core speed :80 @ 720 MHz memory speed :64 Bit @ 900 MHz
I took a look about the minimal config for graphic card, it was tricky to compare but I think mine is enough after quick comparison. correct me whether I am wrong.
I think the only problem is the CPU. I would like to buy a new one. Is it easy to upgrade it ? I'd like to buy a i5 450M for example. I think its compatible because the chipset is HM55 Express and most other version of my laptop uses a i5 450M or something. I read its not possible to upgrade to i7. But I don't need so much power, just a little bit. I know it could be problematic to add too much power because of the temperature but I little bit could be ok, no ?
Another question : When I run the game, when I check the cpu I can see it does not go above 50-55 % each.. Why they are not full powered ??
Thanks in advance for your help,
Dr.Methyl
