Forget Dolphin, sorry... Intel GMAs are usually not compatible

Your IGP is not supported.
You will not have a great experience running games on Dolphin with that machine either.

What Gamecube emulator should I use, since I have Intel GMA 950? i particulararly want to play mario party 6

Dolphin is the ONLY GC/Wii emulator

You have two options:
* Buy a better machine with a decent GPU
* Play your games with an original GameCube/Wii

True, in a sense. There's really only one other GC emulator being developed right now (Gekko) and it still has a long way to go (hopefully I can get some sound working sometime this summer). Gekko doesn't emulate Wii games though, Dolphin is the only one that does both. Dolphin's really the best and most compatible one around right now.

The GMA 950 is older than any Intel IGP I've ever tested Dolphin on. The best advice, in all seriousness, is to upgrade your hardware.

Not to sound cocky or anything...but that's a pretty shit computer you have. I doubt it's even capable of running hi res textures for Project 64.

That doesn't increase gpu load very much.
