So I am running the emulator alright on my old laptop at 4x resolution with AA. I tried both Metroid Prime Hunters and Final Fantasy IV. Metroid Prime Hunters works full speed at 4x with AA if I set frameskipping to 1. Otherwise it runs at like 95% full speed. Final Fantasy IV experiences slightly drops (3-4 fps.) Changing resolution doesn't do much. And even with frameskipping set to 1, these slight drops happen. It is very playable though. 57-60 fps is what you should expect. I haven't gotten sound to work to well yet on this computer. There is a static to it and stutters. I'll try messing with settings. 

Here are the specs.

Intel Core i5 460M(2.53GHz) (2.8 GHZ with turbo boost) This is a hyperthreaded dual core. 

NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M (1GB DDR3 VRAM)

4GB DDR3 1066

So anybody with a dedicated card and a moderately powered CPU should be able to run this emulator. For those interested in technical specs.
