Your laptop specs are too weak for demanding games such as Zelda TW , Zelda SS

This laptop ran Crysis 2, Skyrim, MW3, MW2, and a bunch of other games i would have thought it would choke on. So you're telling me that a Gamecube has better processing power than my laptop?

No, he is telling you that emulating a gamecube requires far more cpu power than even the most demanding pc game (most of which will run perfectly fine on a 10 year old dual core cpu).

what. its an honest question. how can a 10 year old console have better stats than my 3 year old fairly desent toshiba laptop

at low settings right

CPU is terrible . http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmarklist.2436.0.html (Rank 284)
Just saying my laptop does not run Zelda TW full speed either (with EFB copies to RAM - Hyrule Field)

That laptop "ran" those games? That's not saying much. You can technically run any game you like, but that doesn't mean it's going to run at a playable speed. The hardware in that laptop is horrible, there is no way it can run Crysis 2 or Skyrim at anywhere near full speed. Please don't try to say that it can, because it's just not possible.

Here we go again. We get someone not knowing anything about emulation like you come in here every other day sayng that exact same thing. Read this -> http://dolphin-emu.org/docs/faq/#why-do-i-need-such-powerful-computer-emulate-old-c

After you add in the massive overhead of translating the instructions for a PowerPC chip to instructions for an x86 chip, as well as the fact that there are fewer optimisations applied as the code again is for PowerPC, gamecube games are pretty demanding.

Also, you're technically way below the recommended specs for any of the PC games you listed. There's no way you're at 60FPS, even at minimum quality in all of those.

... and with that, this thread doesn't deserve any further attention. A gazillion people have come here before and asked the same ignorant questions like you did. Either take your time to figure out why Dolphin won't run fullspeed with your hardware or just live with the fact.

Closed.

Also, apparently you managed to figure out how to find our forums, yet you're using builds from an unofficial website. Hint: Look at the forum URL and get your builds from the actual official Dolphin homepage. Your build is vastly out of date.
