Such a list doesn't exist AFAIK (a good idea btw ).
But only the most demanding games should give you some troubles. You can list the games you plan to play and we'll tell you how they'll probably work on your system. You can also have a look to "Test Entries" in official game threads to see what performance some guys obtained with their systems.

Haha maybe if I really get into this I can start such a list as a side project.

The games I really want to play are Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Super Paper Mario, and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I'm also interested in Pikmin 1 and 2, and Luigi's Mansion.

Thanks for any advice you can provide for those games. I'll also look for official game threads.

BTW, this is probably a silly question but does it take any extra power to output to a larger screen, like outputting 720p resolution to a 42" LCD TV vs. a 22" LCD monitor.

Both Paper Mario, Both Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion will work fine.
Skyward Sword will be playable but not full-speed.
Twilight Princess will work fine except in the most demanding parts of the game

Eh, yeah, I'm not a dev, I'm just a bored high school senior who knows enough to get by. I have helped out with a few things, e.g. the initial work on osx-libcxx, initial attempts to get GLSL-master to set up its window/GL context correctly on OS X, and a random evening of memory leak fixes, but they've all been with other devs' help. I can't actually write code - I just know how to not break the syntax when removing things.

Thanks for the screen res math info, though. I'll save it in my quotebook.

That puts you ahead of a lot of people.

No. And you're right that was a silly question.

At least I warned you!

low res + big screen -> Worst idea ever . You will tear down graphic quality
Recommend : High res + small-medium screen

I'm confused...I thought 720p was a high res? Don't most console games still display at 720p?

Quote:I thought 720p was a high res?

for 7" screen , yes
Some smartphones even have 1080p display . Do you still think 720p is high-res ?
Dolphin : 2xIR (1280x1056 which is higher than 1280x720) still look like crap on my 14" laptop screen . I use no less than 2.5xIR (1600x1320)
