...I think you've set the record for oldest piece of hardware someone expected Dolphin to run on.

This computer you have doesn't have nearly enough CPU power (related: GHz ≠ speed - my 1.7 GHz i5 runs stuff MUCH faster than a 3 GHz Pentium 4, and not just because it's dual-core), not enough RAM (Dolphin by itself uses way more than 256 MB of RAM on my computer), and the graphics card is obviously so old that it can't even produce video (Dolphin requires Pixel Shader... whatwasit, 2.0? 2.0c? Is it 3.0 now? Whatever it is, your Radiation King X200 doesn't have it.)

Point is, you need to go buy a new computer if you wanna run Dolphin. One with at least an i5 in it, and a decent (preferably dedicated) graphics card.

ask in the forums, likely you need to update gfx driver or update your pc. you should just update your pc anyways, that crap won't run games fast enough anyways.

Halo 1 isn't that demanding, seeing as it can run on friggin' Windows 98. Dolphin requires a ludicrous amount of processing power to run.

Installing drivers for your graphics card won't help, nor can I find the drivers for yours on AMD's website (the card's seriously that old).

Upgrading isn't really possible in this case, since you'd literally need to replace every part in your computer. But these days you can generally buy any computer with an Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processor (i3s are cheapest, i7s are way out of your price range) and a dedicated graphics card (not an Intel one, and nothing "integrated") and run Dolphin on it. May not run at full-speed, but that's pretty much inevitable at your price point. Expect to pay $800 or more for a computer with an i7 and a powerful dedicated GPU if you want to run games at full-speed and with higher graphics settings.

(I have absolutely no experience with building computers or judging how well a system will run something, so don't take my word for all of this.)

If you have any more questions, ask on the forums. This issue tracker's for bugs, not support or buying advice. http://forums.dolphin-emulator.com/
