So I'm not concerned about perfect play, but just had a few questions.

I've been working on a little breakbox project involving old controllers. I now have a setup where I can use all original controllers (All Nintendo consoles, as well as PS1/2) with a PC (YES! Big Grin)

However, instead of making it an interface box like I initially planned, I've decided to make it a completely self contained unit (basically an all-in-one console with no need to drag around carts/discs with it). Anythign I plan on building spec-wise will be able to handle everything but GC/Wii as it seems Dolphin is a little demanding. Most of the GC/Wii games played on it would be multiplayer/party games anyway. With that in mind, what should I expect for a good experience. Not looking for 100% speed all the time but something decent.

It seems like SMG1/2 is the gold standard around here. If what I build will run those games decently, should I expect to not have too many issues running other games?

Knowing that Dolphin doesn't do much past 2 cores, I'm likely thinking a Core i5 2120, with a capable video card (HD6850/70), unless I can get my hands on a beefier proc.

What are your thoughts?

If you can get a 2500K and overclock it with a decent air cooler that would be much better. Otherwise what you have planned is pretty good.

I'd say go for ivybridge, but some people have reported strange resaults so I'd say sandybridge.
