Is Wii emulation less resource hungry than PS2?
Before I bother getting the games I just want to make sure that I will at least be able to launch the games and not see them turn magically into a slideshow.
Dolphin is probably about even with PCSX2 when it comes to system requirements, maybe a little more optimized. To play everything at full speed, you need a dual core or better that clocks up around 4gHz, although some games are less demanding. My desktop has the i5 2500k overclocked to 4.5 gHz and I play everything at full speed, 1080p or better. If you have a slower CPU you might still be fine, but you probably won't be able to push it past 480p and you might drop frames.
It's OK, I have Intel i9 now. I can run all these emulators at solid 30 fps, esp. PCSX2.
