Your hardware isn't good enough. That's the problem.

is there anyway of fixing that or will i need a new laptop?? also how comes some games work shouldnt they all be slow??

Just get a Wii and softmod it then you can play games directly from a USB Hard Disc Drive, including GameCube Wii and emulators of older systems


But there are a few things you can try https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/performance-guide/

P.S.Sonic what?

the GameCube Sonic games are just re-released games from other systems not that you can handle Dreamcast emulation either but there was also PC ports of Sonic games, it depends on what you want to play

Try out the unofficial Dolphin build "Ishiiruka" https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Threa...custom-version This may or may not be fast enough for your system. It does run better than the official builds on my low end laptop (1.5 ghz amd cpu with 4 gigs ram) but still not really fast enough to be enjoyable. It runs Windwaker without any bells and whistles around the mid 20s frames per second.
