To run Dolphin Emulator properly, what does it take from me?
Ok, thank you for that great explanation, that helps a little bit more. So my GPU is actually just an iGPU from the processor I'm using. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600g. So is this Vulkan API something I need to "turn on" in the BIOS settings? Or something like that? Or, do I have to download it or does it just come already installed with my AMD chip? Or is it something I turn on/use on Dolphin Emulator? Sorry for the beginner questions, this is ALL out of my realm and learning on the fly. I really appreciate the help!
Just use an option in the emulator software to pick a graphics mode that fits your screen, because the system handles everything else automatically. You can change this setting right here to find the best performance or look for something simpler.
You probably already have AMD drivers installed with your computer. This is just software, so you don't need to turn it on inside the BIOS or do anything complex. To use it in Dolphin, you just need to tell the program how to work. You can find this by going to Graphics Settings, then Backend, and finally selecting Vulkan.
