Need advice on getting started

[anseio]

I've got my new laptop (specs below) and am under the impression that I should be good to go with emulating. My problem is that my goal is to play Eternal Darkness, which is still being worked out. Since I'm trying to learn how to configure Dolphin to even work with a game... does anyone have a recommendation of game that is issue free, for the most part, so I can get a hang of how things work?

Sorry for asking what may be obvious if I searched. It's easy to get lost for hours reading posts and what not.

Thanks!
