Does this emulator work well on a average PC?

brewerb11 · August 20th, 2008

I was just wondering if there is any lag or maybe if there are to many glitches for this to properly emulate yet.

What do you mean by average? I have a Core Duo 1.8 which is pretty average and it runs ok. But it doesn't work 'well' on any PC because it's still in a relatively early stage of development. So you will get lots of glitches/crashes/no working audio etc on any PC.

I get full speed on quite a few games... and I have an overclocked Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 3.0GHz. And that's the x64 version. So really... it all depends on your view of average.

Average would equate to a P4 with a Geforce 6 series card.... considering thats the most common gaming setup still.

Well then no. I have something similar, and though I enjoy seeing which games run at all with or without errors, I wouldn't say any game is fully "playable". But if you have a good machine, a lot of them ARE.

But honestly now, since when is a P4 'average'?

I thoguht P4's were bottom of the barell nowadays. (cant spell too early in the morning) I mean Pentium D seems like the new average...

nah, P4 and amd equivalent system setups still outnumber the C2D setups.

Thats not really average Pc. Its quite good for any emulator till the day. Its average for pcsx2 only. As the above person said P4 with geforce 6 would be average.
