Hi
Its my first post so sorry if this has been answered before, i searched but couldnt see anything
Im in the process of building a bartop arcade, something ive wanted to do for years. I want to be able to emulate gamecube and wii games as well as ps2 and dreamcast.
Ive seen a few motherboard bundles. one ive seen is an i7 3770 with an h61 board and 8gb ram. This can run at 3.9ghz when in turbo mode. Ive also seen an i5 2500k bundle with the same ram which when over clocked can do well over 4ghz.
However, Ive never over clocked before so im a little wary and also as the pc will be in a tight area inside the bartop arcade im not sure if the large cooler required for the over clocked i5 will fit so ive been leaning towards the i7 3770.
My question is will the i7 3770, boosted to 3.9ghz and coupled with a gtx 650 gfx card be able to run 95% of the gamecube and wii games at 100% speed. Ive read on here that a few a very hard to emulate correctly but i was mainly thinking of the mario ones specifically SMG1 and SMG2.
Also, slightly off topic but some games require you to shake the wii remote such as Mario kart wii when in the air. If you arent using a wii remote with the dolphin emulator is there a key or something that can be programmed to emulate the shake?
thanks in advance
