Hi everyone,
Newbie here just getting into the wonderful world of Dolphin. I've only played GC games so far, not gotten into Wii games yet. I too have a question about Mac performance vs Windows performance (though it might've been answered my the original question). My computer's specs are as follows: iMac Intel Core 2 Duo (E7600) 3.06 GHz (from late 2009), ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB GDDR3 graphics, 16 GB Kingston 1066MHz DDR3 RAM, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The latest version of Dolphin I seem to be able to run is 3.0-458. All the latest versions CRASH whenever I try to launch the program. I generally have good performance for most games that I've played but cannot play F-Zero GX at all (it IMMEDIATELY slows down at start of gameplay) nor Megaman Battle Transmission (there's an anime cutscene in the beginning that plays FRAME BY FRAME that I can't get past).
My question is will I have better luck playing these games if i install Windows 7 on my machine (via Boot Camp) and install the appropriate software? Will I have better performance from Dolphin OVERALL on a Windows partition on my Mac? And will I even be able to use the latest Dolphin software release?
Thanks for your help!
