Don't use the Open Source drivers. That's all you can do

I don´t really know a lot of AMD, but the thing with them is they aren´t very recommended with Dolphin as they tend to have poor performance using the emulator since their individual thread performance (I think that´s what it is) is very behind, and this is what Dolphin mainly relies on. I don´t know what games you could run with it but if possible I would recommend you to go for an Intel CPU if you want better performance using the emulator
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to buy a new laptop, and as far as I know you can't change graphics cards or processors on laptops.

You won´t have good chances with -any- game on that CPU. Mine (A6-1450) struggles even when trying Luigi´s Mansion and on minimal settings.
Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.

Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 780/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 Mobile | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.
