    Dolphin will only recognize disc type files such as .iso and .gcm, but not archive files like .rar, .7zip, and that's why it doesn't appear on the emulator's ISO browser.

    You need to extract the .iso/.gcm file first from the archive before you can load it onto the emulator.

    Simple process would be right click and then extract on the archive files.

    www.7-zip.org will handle almost every type of compression (I say almost because there are a few very uncommon formats that do come up from time to time)

    Multi part files you just extract via the first file with the exception of those that include a *.rar file (e.g in *.r## sets) then the *.rar file is the first file

    7-zip will handle everything we have hosted though with the exception of ecm that requires specialized software

    There are also various movie & audio codec's that are not really compression but a form of encoding that allow the sound or video to still be directly streamed through various software, depending on what you want to do though you may be required to convert those back to there raw format or wav format

    Have you check the recommended settings for each games posted by Zorlon previously? ^

    Simply put, slowdown, audio and video issues are common for those games (and crashes), I suggest to follow the recommended settings from the wiki guide,
    and hopefully it will work on your laptop, however you shouldn't expect too much from it though.

    Go here for controller guide, and here to change specific settings on the emulator. (sound, video, etc)

    For VBeam Speedhack, after loading the emulator, right click on the game and go to properties. You should see Vbeam under Core setting, then click the small box next to it until it change to the 'right' or 'tick' symbol.

    That's a rather low specs you got there, and running Dolphin at stable speed is unlikely as well, even with recommended settings applied.

    I'd suggest getting yourself a good pc, at least with a good CPU clock. Refer to this FAQ.

    Buy a Wii (with GC ports) softmod the beast, it's way cheaper than buying a new PC and there are plenty of games on the Wii/GameCube worth playing.

    90% of GC games run perfect from an external USB HDD (There are a few that have audio streaming issues but they are in the few and don't include the Resident Evil games) and just about all the Wii games work just fine

    Are you getting confused with my post, the external USB drive would be to use on a Wii, personally I use a 2TB WD drive (powered by a wall socket rather than via USB, but I only went for that because they are the cheaper drives)
