Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi there, I am looking to purchase a machine capable of running dolphin with primary emphasis on small form factor (easily able to fit in a backpack). At the moment, I am only interested in playing Gamecube games and would like to be able to play the compatible titles at full speed at 2-3x native resolution.

I have specifically been looking at the Gigabyte Brix Pro (GB-BXi5-4570R) and Gaming (GB-BXi5G-76) models. I am just wondering if anyone here has any more economical ideas? or any suggestions on a product with a smaller chassis? It seems any machine smaller than these models do not have the CPU power to run Dolphin as they all have Celeron or "U" processors. I am also not sure how much more power is required to play wii games vs gamecube games.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Wii games aren´t more demanding (or less demanding) than GC games.

Yeah, in some cases Wii games are actually less demanding than GC games, as everything depends on the game.

The Gigabyte brix Pro is what I would recommend.
