Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I will buy a laptop. Also i want to use dolphin emulator.
Victor G451 (GTX 850m, i5 4200m 2.5 ghz to 3.1ghz, 8gb ram, full HD screen)
Asus X550JK-XO012D (GTX 850m, i5 4200H 2.8 ghz to 3.4ghz, 4gb ram, HD screen)
What laptop do i buy for dolphin? I want to play Mario kart wii, Zelda series, Naruto Shippuuden Dragon Blade Chronicles, Kirby Series as full speed 720p or 1080p.

That Asus is a multimedia notebook . It will overheat if you run dolphin on it . Dolphin is extremely demanding , most multi-media laptop have only 1 fansink with poor cooling design , these kind of laptop can't withstand high heat output -> CPU and GPU will throttle ?(run at lower clock) . Normally , it would take 5-10 mins to occur
That Victor isn't a true gaming laptop . It has only 1 fansink for both CPU and GPU but the cooling design is not as bad as the Asus laptop
If you only had 2 options to choose , you should choose that Victor . After buying it , you should remove all OEM thermal paste on both CPU and GPU's surface and then reapply new aftermarket one like IC diamond 7 Carat or Arctic MX-4
True gaming laptop must have 2 fansinks with separated heatpipe

Thanks. Well, is i5 4200m good enough for dolphin? Do i play wii games as full speed with the lowest settings?

You will need i7 4710QM / i7 4700MQ / i7 4700HQ or i7 4702QM if you want to run most demanding games at full speed
Your GPU performance decide your graphic settings . Stronger GPU = Higher settings
i7 4710MQ + GTX 860M would be the safest bet for you

I bought Asus x550jk 712$ (With tax).
4200h run as 3.33ghz with turboboost. So I can play most wii games full speed.
