Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi Guys.
At the end of this month (Mah birthday, yay <3) or maybe a little more, i'll get a new PC.
The point is that i want to know if i will be able to play most of the games which can Dolphin run with it, the specs will be:
CPU: AMD FX 6300 (Six Core) 3,5 GHz
RAM: 2 cards with 4 GB DDR3 1600MHz
HDD: 1TB Sata 3
MotherBoard: AsRock 960GM-VGS3 FX
Video: AMD Radeon R7 240x 1GB or Nvidia GTX650 TI 2GB GDDR5
PSU: Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W
OS: Probably i'll put it Windows 8.1 x64 instead of Windows 7

Mainly i'll probably play:
-Bleach Versus Crusade (Which i can actually play at 60 FPS in old versions)
-Bleach Shattered Blade (I've played this one like 1 or 2 years ago, i can't remember if it actually works well in my actual PC, so i want to know if it will run well in the New one <3)
-Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution Saga (PTS 1 & 2, Shippuden 3 and GNT Special)
-Maybe The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (GC)

And no much more.
Also want to know if in the future (like 2 years or half of them), Dolphin will add the compability with WiiU Games

That's it, thanks guys and greetings from Uruguay Big Grin

Replace that CPU with an Intel CPU, and you'll be able to play most games. In particular, any Haswell CPU will do, but the 4670 seems best.

Dolphin will not have WiiU, because that console has completely different hardware from the GC and Wii (which both use extremely similar hardware to each other).

And, noting your sig, you'll definitely want to upgrade to a newer version of dolphin. New versions are actually pretty fast.

I can't buy one of them, they're not really cheap.
Anyway, ty for the comment, i guess Smile

Get this instead. Performance is comparable to the Core i3 at the pricepoint of an A-series APU.

Also, i cant buy anything that isn't in a store called "Banifox", where i'll buy all the components..

Well, you could wait till you have a slightly bigger budget. AMD CPUs are terrible, especially for dolphin, even compared to lower end Intel CPUs.

The AMD CPU is a slow CPU, and AMD motherboards have really low quality standards. A $150 Intel motherboard will far outdo most $200 AMD motherboards. Plus, Intel's got a massive upper hand with per-core performance. While it may be marketed to you as such, increasing the amount of cores does not stack performance indefinitely. In fact, with most applications, it stops at 4 cores.

As everyone already said, AMD per core performance is abysmal at just about everything, and you will not be able to play lots of games on Dolphin.
