Do you mean an emulator that runs on Wii or a Wii emulator for Linux?

It helps to ask a specific question instead of leaving a vague remark. :)

Doesn't seem like a game, so moved to the Cafe.

Thanks a lot... I'll be getting nightmares about 16-bit-colour office equipment tonight.

Supports both Wii and Gamecube. I haven't tried it in Ubuntu but it works very nicely in Windows.

Works nicely on Ubuntu as well, there is a thread in the Gaming & Leisure section where someone nice has made a binary package available for download.

found it (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1565775)

I use 64 bit, and have seen reports the 32 version is a bit buggier. You will need a recent/decent cpu for most games.

but on the video, it looks to lag a lot , no?

I think you'll need a hella powerful PC in order to get playable speeds. I remember seeing this guy on YouTube playing the game in Dolphin... on a 4.2GHz Core i7.

Its better to compile the program from source - its REALLY REALLY EASY.

And on my Dell Inspiron 1720, 2GHZ Dual Core, 3GBS of RAM, with Wii games I get around 30-60FPS. On the GameCube I get full speed.

If you have a newer computer with bluetooth, you can even use the Wii Remote with Dolphin.

Not really necessary. I use a Athlon II 245 @ 3.3 Ghz which does nearly everything on full speed. A few more hungry games dip down to about 70%.

I need a better computer then, because I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 QL-62 @ 2GHz and I only got like 2FPS in Metroid Prime :lol:

Fortunately I should be getting a new one by the time I turn 18 (which just HAPPENS to be the day after Natty Narwhal is released :wink:)

Your CPU is fine - but you need a more powerful GPU. Dolphin makes use of it heavily and requires at least a nVidia 8600 GT or similar ATI card.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 QL-62 @ 2GHz

Your CPU is fine
That CPU will still be a bottleneck even with a new GPU. Intel outperform AMD by a small margin, and older CPUs will not compare to newer ones due to architecture.

My next laptop is going to have a NVIDIA GTX 310M (or maybe a GTX 330M) and will either have a Core i3 or i5... and 4GB DDR3 RAM. Will that be good enough for Dolphin?

And yeah, my GPU sucks. It's okay in TF2 but an emulated GameCube? Even though the processor is the PowerPC equivalent of... oh, I dunno, maybe a Pentium Pro and the GPU is from, like, 2001, we can't have that.
