Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Unfortunately ...

Some games may play full speed. I still have a 2670QM that holds its own on Dolphin.

This post is practically shitting in the face of all of my experience with Dolphin, ignoring that I have no speed issues in most of the games I play, and some of them aren't even that light. So, yeah, OP's laptop can handle it.

I use Debian stable, but sometimes I have to pull in packages from testing or experimental to get various stuff to compile. I guess this means my system isn't really stable, but it's easier to keep up with than just running all of the latest stuff. I used to do the same thing in Ubuntu, but I haven't tried the newer versions. They may have done something in Ubuntu that prevents the latest versions of Dolphin from running in 12.04. If anyone knows the details of this, I'd enjoy hearing about it.

To Joh Li:
The easiest way for you to get Dolphin running would be to install 14.04 LTS, and then get Dolphin from https://launchpad.net/~glennric/+archive/dolphin-emu
You just add
To your sources.list, and then

I wouldn't call a Sandy bridge at 2.10GHz slow. It's probably faster than my Core2Duo@3.6GHz, and I can play lightweight games on that.

I think the issue here is that people who use Dolphin for a long time have seen it get slower for a long time, and it greatly shifts the belief of what is playable and not playable. And i5 3570K is NOT minimum requirements. A computer like that just means you'll get a great experience in most games. Slower computers can do pretty well too, especially the Sandy Bridge, since it goes clock for clock with the ivy bridge (almost, I mean, it's like 5%.)

Thank you for your help artantaaa '

The fact that not work on Dolphin 12.04 lts comes because the updates superior (has 12.04) have added applications and because if its applications on 12.04 have install manually his applications on 12.04 to make walk becomes incompatible has Dolphin '
Dolphin will work more.

Sorry for my language I'm Still Learning

So Dolphin is working now?

Did you have to install 14.04?

I have not installed yet because I'm examination
Next week

You guy should look at Dolphin benchmark . i5 750 @ 3.7GHz / i5 760 @ 3.8GHz beat i5 2500k @ 3.4GHz / i7 2600k @ 3.4GHz .
In my testing , i5 2410M 2.7GHz is almost as fast as i5 480M @ 2.9GHz
i5 480M @ 2.9GHz is slow for most games . So i3 2310M @ 2.1GHz is horrible
Sandy Bridge is barely faster than Nehalem and Nehalem is not that much faster than Wolfdale

You should look at the benchmark too before you flame someone . Even an Athlon X2 250 is way faster than his CPU

I wonder what your computer's smoking if your tests brought that an i5 480M is horrible for most games, because my own testing with a far inferior processor just loves proving that wrong.
