Man this looks fun as hell and smooth :)

I tried Super Mario World 3D and it runs at 60 fps but with hiccup (basically when entering a new level or zone). Moving the game to an SSD greatly reduced the hiccups but they're still there. Sadly, I don't have enough spare RAM to create a ram disk (but SMW3D is only 1.68 GB, so I may try it).

I don't know why the IO is such bottleneck in the emulator. The Wii U runs the games from the DVD, right? Can't see how not even an SSD is enough to run the games smoothly.

You don't really need a beefy CPU to run the games at 60 fps. I have an old i5 3570k at only 3.8 GHz, and I've seen people still getting 60 fps with much worse CPUs.

Oh man..and I can't even make Dolphin work properly on my comp.
