It helps to read the requirements, if you are unable to run any PC game from the last 3 - 5 years, you can bet your sweet pumpkin pie you won't be able run PS2 or Gamecube/Wii emulators.
PS2 and Gamecube/Wii emulators such as PCSX2 or Dolphin require much more raw power than SNES, PSX, N64, Sega emulation. Even some N64 games can bring fairly powerful systems to their knees.
Even if it was possible that you could play with that ancient hardware, you'd barely get 1 FPS if you are lucky. Dreamcast, PS2, and Gamecube/Wii emulation just isn't possible on your hardware.
The MX line of cards were never adequate for anything, even when they were brand new and just introduced to the market. It has trouble playing PC games from 2001/2003 so that should at least tell you something.
It helps to read the requirements to see if it'll run on your machine before wasting your time:

You need a new system with decent hardware, avoid anything with Intel graphics and go for Core2Duo/Quad/i7 and Nvidia 7xxx line of cards or newer should be sufficient. The cheapest you can build a new system is between 600 - $1000 which should be sufficient for Dolphin.
The cheapest solution in the end would be to play an original copy of the game you intend to play on an actual Gamecube/Wii.
I believe it. Oh wellI can atleast run ePSXe and project64 w/o error.
I have a vista pc but it barely starts the game on Dolphin before it "has to close".
The popup made me think it was an error because it ask if I wanted to look online for a solution (I hope you know what pop-up I'm talking about). I learned that windows itself wouldn't let it run(DEP). I tried to put it on the exception list but it said DEP must be on for this program.
By the way Vista sucks
and 7 probably isn't any betterWell thanks for the information, it did help.
