Hi all,
I'm new here so sorry if I ask anything that has already been asked.
I've done a few searches to try to read up on whats what etc.
I'm currently only really trying the Dolphin emulator on my work laptop, it isn't great, specs can be seen in my sig.
I've only tried Wind Waker so far and I get dips in FPS & game speed.
I'm wanting to build a new machine for my home, something small and inconspicuous to sit under my TV next to my Xbox, for watching movies on, downloading, light gaming etc...
I do a fair amount of my main gaming on my Xbox360 or Wii... sometimes N64 so I'm only looking to build a small rig to run Dolphin well.
I'm not looking to play the best AAA titles at max settings.
I've been out of the hardware loop for a while and haven't kept up to date with whats what.
Any input on this build listed below would be great.
Thank you,
Ninpo
