Wondering if my laptop would be okay enough to run the Dolphin emulator as well as any suggestions as to what settings and version I should use to make games run decently.

Laptop Specs:

Processor: AMD A6-3400M APU 1.40GHz
Memory: 6GB RAM
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon™ HD 6520

Dolphin 4.0

Used to be able to run it on a diff laptop however no longer have that and so trying to see if i can get it to work on this laptop. Tried it earlier, but was really lagging (mostly noticed with audio and a bit with actual gameplay) at 30-40fps

Games I'm interested in playing are listed below: (Strictly looking to play GC games only)

Super Smash Brothers
Animal Crossings
Zelda Wind Waker/Twilight Princess
Super Mario Sunshine
Pikmin
Phantasy Star Online
Some others but those are the main.
That computer is extremely under powered.
Also, most AMD CPUs are garbage for Dolphin...
Grab the latest dev build, as it is faster than 4.0 stable while being more accurate.
