So..your telling me that there is no emulator, yet we are all registered to a site called EMUtalk and talking about a program that allows us to EMULATE our GameCube ISO's on our PCs. Guess that makes sense..thanks.

Well, I came back..no luck. Unfortunately, Dolphin got shut down around 2008-2009..for illegal activity.

I said that no mature Gamecube emulators exist at this time. And even the GC emulators that aren't fully developed aren't able to run on current hardware at playable speeds. That's why I previously said that the required specs on a fully developed GC emulator are unknown - because there are no fully developed GC emulators on which to base that information.

Well, it took a while but I finally got my PC upgraded yesterday. It plays Dolphin much better and my games play much faster than before. Here are the new specs: processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 1 gig DDR of RAM and a new motherboard. The graphics card is still the same, but I will get new one later on. Can I have some ideas of any good graphics card, please. Thank you for your help and thank you Dolphin team, continue to do well in your progress.

The graphics card won't help much, but if you want a better one, then tell us what it's for. Games (not emulation)? Emulation?

It's mainly for games in general, not so much for emulation.

Which graphics card is better to improve the graphics of general games, GeForce 8800 GTX or Radeon 8500?

As long as a card supports PS 2.0, you won't see any difference in graphics no matter what card you have. In PC games however, even a GeForce 5500 probably beats a Radeon 8500 in performance.

8800 GTX beats the crap out of Raedon 8500. They're not even on the same level.

Ok, thanks for the help.
For the thread starter and others who were wondering how to upgrade there pc to play dolphin faster i have some great advice for you!
Buy a Gamecube from ebay. (there really cheap now)
I'm sure you can get full speed on that
why is it that everytime someone makes one of these
there has to be someone like you who makes that kinda post
You should go with a ATI 9800 pro
it's got a tv-tuner too
I get 28-34FPS and I have
2GB RAM
AMD 9900 Dual core processor
ATI all-in-wonder 9800 pro

I don't like comments where people say "well go play the real thing" either, the point of this forum is to play the game on the emulator and NOT on the real thing. The only problem is that it is not possible to play games on an emulator so the real thing is the only option.

That card is useless for PC Gaming, but shouldn't be impossible for emulation.
Speed depends on game and emulator.
Which is why they mention it, because it's the only way to play full speed right now. Plus you won't have to spend an extreme amount of money on new hardware to get it running smoothly. And thirdly, though this is an emulation forum, we do not support piracy. Most, or some of them at least, want to simply use the emulator and download the games so they won't have to pay for the real things.
And besides that, it's far cheaper to buy a console and stick with it 5 years and purchase all the games you want than to do the same for PC. You'll get choppy framerates like no tomorrow.
not true I play fear perfectly, and can run half-life 2, counterstrike, lost planet
