Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello,

I saw in the FAQ that Windows 7 x64 was the best option for running Dolphin on Windows systems.

I was wondering if the difference between Windows 7 and 8.1 was that much or if Windows 8.1 was faster but knew some issues still unsolved (that use to happen a lot to young systems).


Could someone enlight me explaining which one between 7 and 8.1 is really the best to run Dolphin (I assume it's 7 since devs said so in the FAQ) and give a fact/reason ?

Please, no "Windows 8 is not designed for PC anyway" and no "Windows 7 >>> Windows 8". I do prefer Win7 too, but such comments doesn't use to help and use to destroy such topics.

Thanks in advance for your help.


Best regards.

I previously used Windows 7 and now Windows 8.1 and there is no performance difference whatsoever.

If you can, you should still get Windows 8 because it's newer.
