Some games will work fine on your system but some games won't. Particularly if these are demanding games. Which games are you trying to play?

These games aren't really demanding. They should be playable. What speed do you get?
By any chance were you trying to use multiplayer for melee or double dash? I hear that multiplayer slows the emulation down by an order of magnitude compared to single player.

This sounds like your CPU is overheating and stopping turbo-boosting to me.

Disassembly your laptop and reapply aftermarket thermal compound (Arctic MX-4) -> Problem solve
