Rasberry PI Portable Gamecube?

[MeDownYou]

I'm curious if a rasberry pi 3 would be able to run a dolphin gamecube emulator without lag/lots of dropped frames. I've been considering starting a project that would be to make a gamecube portable and am contemplating several options at the moment as i have several gamecubes in my possession and controllers. 

 

If emulation is a possibility though I'd prefer to do that as it most likely will be cheaper and I can make it smaller.

If my i5 760 and GTX 760 lags on Wind Waker, I doubt that a RPI3 wouldn't lag at all.

it depends on the games you want to play. its using a phone processor so if you think your phone could run the game it might be able to. key word: Might

You could check out Emulation Station. In their website there's a Raspberry Pi image which essentially is a version of Raspbian without an X server running by default. I tried it with SNES and Megadrive ROMs and they worked perfectly on a Pi 2. The N64 emulator was another story: it ran horribly in all the games I tried no matter what. If it's a matter of that emulator being awful or the Pi not being powerful enough, I wouldn't know, but you're free to flash the image to your Raspi and tell us how it went.

Use retropie instead made specially for emulation on the raspberry pi

Emulation Station is a front-end for RetroPie with a pleasing UI and a (mostly) configuration-free setup. You can actually open the retropie settings screen from ES and tweak things there, if you so desire.
