    What are the best programs (& settings) to optimize R2's for gaming?

    I have looked through this forum, and there seems to be a mass of info about different drivers, OC'ing, bios flashing ect. but nothing straightforward for a new M11x R2 owner. Is there any simple instructions for setting up my new laptop for gaming?

    Also is the M11x i7 capable of running games with a playable FPS using Dolphin & PCSX2 emulation?

    I have used Doplhin and its plays N64 and Gamecube without any frame issues. But wii games run at about 20fps.

    I have my r2 i7 overclocked and running turbostop. I have not tested it since I have an ssd not sure if it would make a difference

    Cheers, what are the best setting for throttlestop?
    What Dolphin rev did you use? And have you tried RE Zero or the remake on it?
