He's fucking with you because you asked a rather silly question, having done no prior research. First of all, in the case of Cemu, it's still very much in its early stages, so some things won't run well no matter what you have, and very few things work correctly anyway. For Dolphin, it depends on what games you want to play; some games will run well, others will not, but I will say that you will likely only be able to run very lightweight games. It would also help if you were more specific about what processor you had (exact model?), and your other specs, most importantly your GPU.

to use a emulator that emulate or virtualize hardware or software in host computer, i dont think intel below i3 desktop/amd below phenom 2 X4 can handle modern emulator. if can i dont think Mario kart 8 will have any fps at all. my best bet you can only play emulator nes,snes,genesis.dos until NDS and PSP.
"Frankly you need more powerful PC than target hardware emulator just to play in PC."

sorry for my english

errr ok.

so playing mariokart 8 on laptop? if i speak from experience intel celeron laptop not have same performance with desktop counterpart, and and minimum for "barely playable" its need i3 desktop for mariokart 8 *source youtube video, and maybe newest intel celeron can too. its other story for easy lightweight game but barely playable is not fun, right?

oh barely playable = fps 30 with frameskip aktif

edited to make it english .... lol

Does anyone E-V-E-R read the system requirements for the software they download?
Hardware and system requirements
What operating systems are supported?
Dolphin is a cross-platform emulator that runs on Windows (7 and newer), Linux, and Mac OS X (Yosemite and up). For their ease of use and additional graphics backend options, Windows is generally recommended for most users. Other Unix-like systems (such as FreeBSD) may work but are not officially supported. Operating systems are required to be 64-bit to run Dolphin.

As well, Dolphin runs on Android 5.0 and up on 64-bit Android devices. The Android version of Dolphin is in alpha and should not be expected to work as well as the PC counterpart.

Which CPU should I use?
Dolphin is a dual core application that relies upon IPC (Instructions Per Clock) for performance. Additional cores will not make Dolphin go any faster, though an "extra" core that Dolphin isn’t using may help slightly by keeping background tasks from using the same cores as Dolphin.

  • Intel: Newer Core i5 and i7 processors such as the i5-4670K and i5-3570K are extremely fast and very affordable considering their relative power. The K series allows for overclocking, which can further improve the performance of those CPUs. Core i7 variants yield almost no benefit in IPC over the i5s they are based on, so save the cash if you’re building a Dolphin machine. For laptops, you can rely on the i7-4700MQ and i7-4930MX for the absolute best performance. Most games will run very well on any of those processors.

  • AMD: Due to very low IPC, AMD CPUs are poor choices for Dolphin. The FX8000 line of processors is the best they have, and even then most of those processors will be around half the speed of the 4670K’s performance with Dolphin.
Note: For more information regarding CPU performance, please checkout this handy benchmark that contains results from tons of users. Just remember that Dolphin is a console emulator: it does what the games instruct it to do. Every game has its own needs and requirements. Some games run well on most modern processors, while others won’t run full speed at all times on even the most powerful of processors.

Which GPU do I need?
Compared to processors, choosing a GPU for Dolphin is a fairly simple task. The more powerful the graphics card, the more pixels and enhancements you can throw at it before you’ll see slowdown. However, the biggest thing to watch for is making sure the GPU supports DirectX11.1 and OpenGL 4.4. Dolphin emulates a console that functions very differently from a traditional PC, and uses the latest D3D and OGL features to reduce overhead. If you do not have those extensions, performance will suffer.

  • NVIDIA: Due to the importance of the OpenGL Extension “Buffer Storage” no NVIDIA GPU before the Geforce 4xx series can be recommended. Despite being a bit old, the Geforce GTX 460 will handle almost any game you throw at it in HD resolutions. Older NVIDIA GPUs will still be able to run the games fine, especially within the D3D backend and in OpenGL with older builds still using the “Vertex Streaming Hack.”

  • AMD: Unlike the processor battle, AMD’s graphics cards actually manage very well at Dolphin. As of 4.0-1192, AMD video cards see boosts around the board because of the addition of integer math. As such, the AMD HD5770 and should run most games at HD Resolutions.

  • Intel Onboard: Intel HD3000 and HD4000 can run Dolphin at reasonable speeds, and can even run many games with enhancements; but they will struggle with demanding titles. A full fledged graphics card is highly recommended. IGPs older than the HD3000 are not officially supported.
How much RAM do I need to run Dolphin?
2GB or more is recommended. RAM speed or the amount of RAM generally has no affect on emulation speed.

THIS IS LITERALLY ON THE FRONT PAGE OF CEMU:mellow:

System requirements
Windows 7 (x64) or above
OpenGL 4.0 (4.5 is used if available)
RAM: 4 GB minimum, 6 GB or more recommended

Graphic card compatibility
NVIDIA GPU: Runs as expected on most recent driver.
AMD GPU: Runs as expected on most recent driver
Intel GPU: Not officially supported. Heavy visual glitches.

errr ok.

intinya mainin Mario kart 8 di laptopmu kan? kalau kata gua intel celeron laptop ga sebanding dengan yang desktop/PC/komputer, dan minimal untuk bisa "barely playable" butuh sekitaran i3 desktop, dan untuk intel celeron desktop yang terbaru bisa juga untuk main game cemu/dolphin/pcsx2. beda cerita kalau game yang mau dimainin game ringan tapi game ringan dengan fps ga stabil ga ga asik kan?

ini pendapat pribadi, emulator di setting 100% performance dan 0% Quality ga bagus sama sekali
oh barely playable = fps 30 dengan frameskip aktif
Also speaking anything but english is against rules here. :teach:

Whats your mean. you say " sure " ?

Why don't you test it ? My laptop is:
macOS with a Retina
2,6 GHz Intel Core i5

Yeah, Dolphin works great and even PCSX2 (PS2 and sometimes speed drop)

To be honest with you, desktop is better for EVERYTHING. Laptop itself doesn't mean for games. Surely, it can run great like NES, GB, GBA, N64, Dolphin and NDS emulators. Maybe Citra (3DS).

The latest like Cemu, PCSX2, RPCS3 (PS3 emulator) and others are better off for the powerful DESKTOP. Maybe Alienware LAPTOP is power enough for those too.

so i must buy new pc? or asus gaming laptop?
You don't have to but if you want to be able to do like, anything at all, then yeah. ASUS is a pretty good brand but I wouldn't recommend a gaming laptop.

    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.

    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double

    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
