1- There´s no Dolphin 5.0 x86.

2- NSMBW: yes, pretty sure. Sonic Colors: not sure.

3- You won´t be able to do long playing sessions because the CPU can´t handle it
(it´s ultra-low voltage, so the moment it starts accumulating heat it will slow itself down).

1) I got confused with the instruction set and the 64/32 bit versions. It's obviously 64-bit since that is the only version of the official 5.0 build.
2)Thanks, I'll test them on my own when I get the disks delivered
3) I've ran gamecube games for a good hour or so, and they used about 50-70% of my cpu, but it never thermal throttled.
