    Sounds alright, a small bit beefier than my laptop, but some games may still lag...I was running lugi's mansion with half speed.


    Meganova-would his be ok?

    Looks okay, the game will run but lag may still occur.
    Use the Dolphin emulator, and see how its work.

    Before that, update your Direct X, C++, as well graphic driver to the latest version if you haven't.

    Try using the previous versions, and use the hack for the game(if it's available).
    Which sonic games was it?

    sonic games was just a test.
    i mainly want it for Resident evil 0

    Well, why don't you test it straightaway?
    Different game need a different settings.

    That game has been confirmed working anyway.
    but some graphical errors and crash might happen.

    You'd have to be one optimistic guy if you think playing Gamecube games on an emulator is your answer. Your PC Specs aren't bad, but even with that you've still got a 95% chance the games won't run perfect.

    If I were you, I'd go the smarter option and look into getting a modded Gamecube or Wii. That way you can play Resident Evil Zero perfectly.

    lol that 2 Gb, losing 2 gb for no benefit ?

    what if i tell you ,there nowhere to find a console except PS2,PS3 & X360 here !
    those consoles aren't famous and popular. a high rate of people don't what are they.
    and second, you can play a game for free, you go to buy a +100$ device to play it ?
    (of course if we need to play a game badly that can't run in the PC.)
    i know this is kind of piracy, but what we can do ?
    ===
    again all i want is, a tutorial of how to set up the emulator until suited well.

    thanks anyway

    I believe you don't need to refer for a tutorial to set it up.
    Since the game was listed as playable at the moment.
    Like Raysie says before, you need to be optimistic and take risk when playing the game using emulators.

    or you know you could always just get a wii and buy the WODE(Wii Optical Drive Emualtor) and download as many wii and gamecube games as you like and play them from a usb hard drive.
