I'm hoping this offers a speed boost as on the very computer I am running, I could not run the Android emulator Bluestacks without severe lag, so I booted Phoenix OS, an Android emulator, from a USB (that is Linux based) to run the game I tried to from Bluestacks, and it ran lightning fast, leading me to believe that if something similar to Phoenix OS can be made out of Dolphin, a similar effect can be achieved, especially on lower powered machines. I think this has potential, especially for those that can't afford a good laptop/desktop to run Dolphin. One has 2GB of RAM and is from the Windows Vista era, while the other one has 4GB of RAM, is from the Windows 10 era, but downgraded to Windows 7 a few months ago. I have two "junk" laptop's that I could try this on. I feel like this has the potential to be something big, and should be looked into. ![]() It would also require an internet connection so it can auto update itself a la Windows Update, and it would also have a bare bones control panel that allows changing of certain display settings, power options (such as your power plan), mouse/keyboard settings, a very basic device manager that allows you to manage USB game controllers, and even add in Bluetooth devices such as a Wii remote, which can work with your computer's built-in bluetooth (if applicable) or with any external adapter including the Dolphin Bluetooth dongle. I have no idea if having an exclusive OS for dolphin would offer any significant speed boost on 4GB systems, but it could as you wouldn't be running Dolphin within Windows, you'd be running it by itself as its own OS meaning you won't have an underlying OS such as Windows to bog it down. Of course you could plug in a USB to bring games over, especially if you don't have the actual game disk, or ripping just won't plain work. Depending on the difficulty of doing so, it may even support the option of ripping your actual wii and gamecube disks. You could dual boot this alongside Windows, or you could have it replace Windows if you'd like. Do you guys think a Dolphin OS would work and be a good idea? Basically, this would be an OS that runs exclusively Dolphin emulator.
