Dolphin Version 3.0-139
Mac OS X 10.7.1
2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7
12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
I just downloaded dolphin, initially found games would just crash. A Few people have noted that this is caused by JIT not working and you can use interpreter mode.
Interpreter mode runs so slow though! It's like 1 or 2 fps - so totally unusable for me (have tried with Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Mario Karts, even just loading the system menu is unbelievably slow).
So....
Is it worth trying to get this working on mac - or shall I just give up and run it in bootcamp (not really the most convenient; I assume a VM is definitely a no go)
Hello 50 fps...
I downloaded the build from the project site here: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/downloads/list which is now working better.
Still crashing reasonably frequently (super mario bros still not loading past info menu), but progress...
Good times.

So....
- Are the mac versions of dolphin actually usable at the mo - what's the deal with JIT, can I actually get this working?
- There seems to be minimal tips re setting config for best performance for mac - what settings should I use?
