How well (if it all) will by laptop run Dolphin? - Lotus Gramarye - 04-21-2012
Also, from what I understand, even if I can't emulate Wii well I may still be able to emulate Gamecube well?

Greetings Lotus,
It does not matter if it's a Wii or Gamecube game; both have very demanding games.
Your laptop looks adequate enough to play some Wii games and Gamecube games relatively well.
Due to your middle-low end GPU, you can only have up to x1~1.5 IR, and x2 IR at times.
Which games are you intending to play?

I was thinking of trying Wind Waker.
I made this topic because after installing dolphin whenever I try to load the game from disc Dolphin just locks up, and I was thinking my laptop was just too weak to do anything.

Your PC should handle windwaker well, are you trying to run the game from a cd? you should try dumping it to a .iso format
