Not very well, Mario galaxy is pretty CPU intensive.
But with frameskip, it may be somewhat playable.

mmmm... okay, but will i get good graphics??


RE: Can my computer run SMG - RupeeClock - 02-03-2010

Oh geez, I hadn't noticed your GPU, an Intel mobile graphics chip?
You're going to have a rough time with that.

Dolphin and laptops? Not usually the best combination.

Mobile intel == Fail.

My macbook 5,1 2.4 can run it pretty nicely with some frameskip (Sometimes frameskip slows it down.) here and there on the old builds.
I bet the new ones will be almost full speed.

Try it and make sure efb is to texture. You may even want to try JITIL. Sadly I noticed overclocking my cpu to 2.8 and gpu a bit doesn't change things.


(I honestly think my temp sensors are broken because even without oc'ing it it shows like 90C on both cpus and gpu.

if you think ur macbook temp sensors are broken than try googling a program cald smcFancontrol
i need a good desktop........i have some very nice nvidia cards but theyre useless on my pentimim IIII
....i wish my macbook had an ati or nvidia..... but it has a crappy GMA 950........Sad Sad

Naa I used that and everything. Even mac programs that show temp its like 60C idle and like 80-105C load. Im like it's above 100C WTFBBQ.


Heh heh, I used to have a white macbook but the people at the applestore after my 18th mac hardware repair just gave me a new laptop.


RE: Can my computer run SMG - shawnanastasio - 02-03-2010

105C?????????????thats a wee bit too hot for a cpu to run
i have one last question (my disk is ripping as i type) even if the fps is like 3 will i get at least 1 frame with clear smg graphics?? (so i can fake it to my friends)....i am pathetic....

Yeah either my sensor is insane or I have somkind of badass cpu that likes it hot and dirty. (Like your mom)


Yeah you can do that
