Games That Don't Need High End CPU

I thought that we should come up with a list together for people that don't have very high cpu so that if they do decide to go and buy a wii game or gamecube game to dump and emulate that it would be emulatable/close to perfect playable. By the way, the list of games are arranged by cpu. The cpu are arranged from higher end on down. So as you progress down through the list so does the ranking of the cpu. The lower the game the less of a cpu it needs to be played. I think you get how this works.

Also I have made a tutorial/guide on how to speed up your computer/dolphin so check that out here. May or may not work for you but it works for me. I'd give it a shot. [color=#FF0000]CLICK HERE![/color]



Rules to Posting Your Game


  1. Game Title
  2. Game System
  3. Video Proof (If possible)
  4. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE CPU AND ALL ITS NAMES DETAILS WITH THE CLOCK SPEED!!!!!!!!!




Perfectly Emulated Games



There you find a wiki list of games and each game has its own page telling you the problems that it may or may not have. The list I provide is just to tell you which ones can be played at fullspeed on what processor.




Where To Find Threads on These Games

[url=http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/thread-6003.html]SEE HERE FOR THE LIST OF GAMES THAT HAVE THREADS MADE ON THEM ALREADY


There you will find a list of games that have threads made already on them in the Game Discussion Forum. Post your questions/tips about a game there NOT HERE. You'll also be able to find some recommended configuring options about a game there.



Types Of Processors

Wondering why certain games don't run at full speed for you? Even if you have the same settings and clock speed! Well, that is because of the type of processor that other dolphin users have. I have added the detail of the type of processor for the many people with this problem. If you want to know how your CPU stand against other types of CPU's before attempting gameplay with some of this games then go to the link below. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING YOUR CPU's SCORE COMPARED TO THE SCORES NEXT TO THE LISTED CPU's HERE BEFORE POSTING THAT A GAME ISN'T RUNNING FULL SPEED FOR YOU!

SEE YOUR CPU BENCHMARK HERE!

[color=#FF0000]P.S. IF YOUR CPU HAS A HIGHER SCORE THAN 1,300 ON THAT SITE THEN I AM NOT GOING TO ADD YOUR GAMES YOU SUGGESTED TO THE LIST BECAUSE THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD![/color]

So what games do you have to offer that I could add?
Mario Double Dash is pretty flexible also New super mario bros.
dont forget super paper mario wii
yeah i appreciate these but what cpu would you reccomend people have?

games that need 2.5Ghz or below will be added
you didn't specify dual or single core, most people play on dual 2.6 ave.
oh i'll add dual core but dual core should be obivious though b/c everyone knows that dual core adds speed to dolphin but i'll add
Star fox assault is pretty easy
thanks for the add as based upon your laptop specs i'll put 1.66Ghz recommended
Both Animal Crossings work pretty well on low CPUs
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle seems to run really well even on slow computers. Needs opengl to look 100% correct, but even that is really fast.
