I am running dolphin 5.0. and mu specs are -
Processor Intel® Core™ i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M
Video Card #2 Intel® HD Graphics Family

You should be able to run each game once more if you delete the Cache folder in Dolphin's configuration folder (which is in Documents).
Also, please check which graphics card Dolphin is using. If it's the Intel one, try switching to the Nvidia one.

Thanks for the config folder that allowed me to run them again. How do i go about checking whic graphic card its running on and switching them?

If the setting "On-Screen Display Messages" (Config > Interface) is on, the used graphics card is displayed in the top-left corner when starting a game.
