Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello!
First of all: Great work!!
But now my question: I've got a MacBook Pro 2010 with Intel i5 2,4GHz and my question is: should i run the emulator on my Windows-Partition or on my Mac-Partition? I would prefer the Mac partition, but on Mac is no DirectX, so now m question: Do I really Need DirectX and Why do I Need it?

Your, MM!

Well, you don't need DirectX, but it's faster....

Use Dolphin on Windows, it will be much faster...

Okay, thank you for your fast answer!
Is it a good idea to run Dolphin on a virtual machine?

No

Windows all the way.
OS X will give you more headaches.

Yo dawg,

We heard you like emulators so we put an emulator in your emulator so you can emulate while you emulate.

It isn't really an advantage

Just the thought of running an emulator of this magnitude in an virtual machine gives me an headache.
It's destined to fail.
