Help with picking the right emulator and with a game...

I'm going to try to kill 2 birds with 1 stone with this post...

1st question: What kind of GameCube emulator should I use? I have one but it's really old; I've downloaded it like 1 or 2 years ago. When I play Super Smash Bros. Melee it lags a lot. So I'm just wondering if there's any good ones out there. I don't know what's the type of the emulator I am using but I'm guessing it's "Dolphin SVN R 4771".

--My computer:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU 2.20GHz
--Graphics Card:
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip Type: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Total Memory: 1695 MB
--RAM: 4096MB RAM
--Operating System: Windows 7
It's a laptop that's not that good for gaming... =\

2nd question: I have finished downloading Viewtiful Joe from here and when I finished downloading the RaR file it has even more files in it. How do I play that in the emulator?

Many thanks in advance. ^_^

First off Dolphin is still the best GC emulator out to date and there are newer revisions than the build you currently have.

Secondly even with a newer version of Dolphin trying to run the emulator with the system specs you posted it is highly unlikely you'll be able to run very many games and if you do get games to run close to none will be able to run at a playable speed.

And to answer your second question try extracting the contents of the second set of files.

So is there any better versions of Dolphin that's better than the one I'm currently using? Or the one I have is ok?

And about the Viewtiful Joe game... each of those iso files are parts of the game? And I have to play 1 at a time?

What's the file extensions? Chances are it's simply a split archive within the first rar/zip just choose to extract on the first one and it will automatically unzip all of them into your game.

Your system isn't too bad for dolphin, the integrated chipset is weak but give it a shot you may be able to get playable speeds depending on the game and your settings.

I can run Resident evil remake make with a core2duo 1.6ghz 1.5 gb of ram and a intel gma950 224mb ram at 20% speed with revision 7485 so I'm sure yours would run better.

Can you hold my hand and tell me how do I fix the settings on Dolphin so that the games runs good?

First extract the viewtiful joe.rar achieve and you will find all these files in one folder.
Then extract s3-vj.rar. This will extract the content from all archives.

The default settings should run it fine, it's when you have problems (excessive lag, glitches, crashes, etc) that you need to change stuff around really.
