dolphin hardware requirements

[maja_ldm]

hi people, anyone could tell me wich should be the hardware requirements for using dolphin?
I'm using turion 2.2ghz 2gb ram and nvidia go6100 (512mb) but without shaders get less than 1fps, I don't expect to run all the eyecandy's but that seems a bit strange or not? the game is metroid prime pal.

Found on the dolphin-emu google-code page. Too easy to guess it could be found there...

System Requirements
* Windows XP or higher, or a 64-bit Linux install.
* Fast CPU with SSE2. Dual core a plus.
* Any reasonable modern GPU, support for pixel shaders 2.0 required.

Funny, I have nearly the same stats as yours but run about 15fps. It depends on settings af your system, too and some games run faster than others. But I'd assume it could be the shader-less gpu...
Well, all I can say for sure is: When it comes to emulation, good is never good enough. Nobody can tell you the "real" minimum requirements, as there minimum is always "best you can afford"!
CU

PS: Well... Metroid Prime doesn't run at ALL, Metroid Prime 2 runs good! :P Emulation is a funny thing ^^
And for this info, you SHOULD have looked HERE... But reading and searching are rare skills in the internet. Have Fun and Enjoy!

I play with a ASUS notebook, dualcore 2x1800MHz 1GB DDR2 ATI mobility X2300 and...what should i say...it is a little slooooowwww :P BUT! i use the opengl driver, and it is playable i think. i play with battle stadium DON, the intro is a crap :P very lov fps, about 7-10 but the emulator say it is between 30-1xx but i see what i see and it isn't 30 fps but the game runs pretty good. it is slov but playable i think.

@ Neo85
thank you for seeking but the broken games list talks about dual cores and I thought it was a specific incompatibility

anyway yes, it is probably a matter of the specific game I've come to think.

Well put, Neo85, well put!
