The Razer Edge Pro video you posted is mine and like other posters already said to make work some games at full speed ( Mario Kart wii, Sonic colours, DK Returns) you need old versions of Dolphin, especially versions prior to the HLE sound rewrite ( ver. 3.0 and before ) to avoid sound skips.

Of, course i'm talking about 60 fps when i say full speed.However ALL the games are playable in the Razer edge Pro in the actual versions if we consider playable 80% ( of full speed) or more.
The games that work slower are Super mario galaxy 1 and 2, and DK Returns.From the rest, all the gamecube games i've tried, including F-Zero GX, work at full speed and Wii games like New Super Mario Bros, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Ghost Squad, Mario Kart wii...work at full speed too.
The Razer Edge Pro work better with the OpenGL backend and the CPU (i7 3517U) is ALWAYS at 2.8 GHz, it NEVER throttles, in this aspect is AMAZING.

I bought the Razer Edge Pro because i wanted a Windows portable console to play all the emulators available on Windows like Dolphin, PCSX2, Demul, MAME, Model 2 & 3 emulators,...with enough power and it delivers very well.

The VAIO Flip 15A is a great Tablet but it lacks physical controllers like the Razer Edge Pro, this is the main difference.

I have other video with more Wii and gamecube games like DK Returns, Soul Calibur 2, Wave Race Blue Storm or F-Zero GX:

Yeah the gamepad addition is nice. I tried looking for one for PC but could not. Ha. I was gonna say that the only thing about the gamepad is that it probably wouldn't fair well in games that require the Wii Remote as you can't point to the screen. But then again, how likely are you to play games that require the Wii Remote on the go? At the same time, I don't know exactly how portable that gamepad controller is. Putting it in a carrying bag with the tablet kind of defeats the portability of having a tablet imo.

You can emulate the games that require the wii remote using the controller as a mouse.This is pretty simple using JoyToKey.

Still won't happen. 12GB is a lot of memory.

Edit : ok , I guess we both misunderstand each other . I should mention 64bit OS instead of 64bit Dolphin

Doesn't matter. 2GB is plenty of ram to run dolphin with regardless of the OS.

Say , you have 8GB and that should be more than enough if you know what I mean
Seriously...You won't know unless you're in the same situation as mine . You won't be happy if system run out of memory , program will restart itself and you will lose your data before saving
I had to use 2GB desktop memory with 64bit OS before (I had no choice , one 2GB stick was dead ). It was a terrible terrible experience ( OS run slow and lag everywhere ) even without running game ...

I have no idea how can you be so sure about that

admin89 Wrote:Say , you have 8GB and that should be more than enough if you know what I mean

It is. I've never been able to use more than 5GB even with many demanding applications open at once and it has never impacted performance for me. I can open 100 tabs in firefox and play a demanding game while encoding a video without issues.

Sure the OS will. But the application (dolphin) will be fine.

Math and observation.
