I don't want to sound rude, but you simply aren't providing us with usable info to help you. We know that your CPU is a Intel Core Duo, but we don't know what specific model it is. There are a few CPUs that fall under the Intel Core Duo category, iirc, and even a couple that run at 2GHz. My CPU is an i5. There are lots of i5 CPUs out there. But the exact model is a 2500K.

Also, we have no idea what GPU you're running, you haven't said anything about it. It's okay if you don't know. Just tell us what model Mac you have; since Apple keeps its hardware largely the same for every product it sells, we can still find out what you have. And once more:

If you can't find out anything more about your hardware, the least you can do is to tell us your Dolphin settings (posted as text, or a screenshot), and I'm serious about that screenshot of the error message. Screenshots of error messages are often very accurate and help to provide a context for the error itself. So please at least provide that much. Technically, this thread could still be closed since you haven't really told us yet.

When you get this error, is it a pixel shader error? If so, that means your GPU is too outdated to play Dolphin on recent revisions. Newer Dolphin revisions need a GPU that supports Pixel Shader 2.0 or above.

That's just a guess, since you haven't confirmed if the error you're getting is a pixel shader error or not. Also, as Dolphin progresses, it emulates GC/Wii games more accurately, and it usually needs more processing power to do that. Your best bet would probably be to upgrade your computers, or to stick to old revisions of Dolphin.

For me, the last one I tried on my Windows machine that worked without complaining was r7547. So try looking at the 14th page or something around that range. Again, I'm still assuming that the pixel shaders are your problem at this point. Still, you might have better luck with older revisions regardless.

Before you do anything else, can you please post a screenshot of the error message? The reason I'm so insistent about that is that a screenshot helps a lot in determining what's wrong. Also, which revision did you try?
