Macbook Pro and Super Smash Bros Brawl

I am planning on running dolphin to play Super Smash Bros Brawl on my Mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro, but I wanted to make sure that this is even possible before buying the things I need in order to do it. Is it? My computer specs are:

Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB

I'm running OSX Mavericks but I could also run it on Windows 8 64 bit through bootcamp. Would that have an effect on speed or anythign?

I don't really care about sacrificing resolution to get it to run at full speed if necessary. I have looked at some other similar threads and heard that some Macbooks will get extremely hot when using dolphin as they aren't really gaming computers. Are there any problems that I could encounter besides overheating, and will that hurt my computer in the long run?

Thanks

You're using integrated GPU so overheating is not possible unless your laptop thermal compound die
Your CPU is i5 3210M , it has maximum turbo boost : 2.9GHz ( 2 cores active)
You should use Windows 7/8 64bit via boot camp if you want more speed and use realtemp to check your CPU speed with Dolphin to make sure it run at 2.9GHz , not the stock speed 2.5GHz
