Will the emulator run fast on my computer?

[NexXxus]

FFX: 10-70fps, average= 25fps
slow but playable on my Notebook: Centrino 1,5ghz, 1024MB Ram and Radeon 9700 Mobility ^^

unfortunately Centrino covers 3 generations of mobile processor (and another planned for April this year), to put that up there would be giving false information ;p

Actually I think it's 4 - there were two generations of the original Pentium M and then Core Duo and then Core 2, then another Core 2 as you mentioned.
I'm assuming he means either dothan or Banias (Pen M).

i said 4 ;p

Carmel platform

Intel Pentium M processor (code named Banias or later Dothan) with a 400 MT/s FSB,

Sonoma platform

Intel Pentium M processor (code-named Dothan) with a 533 MT/s FSB,

Napa platform

The code-name Napa designates the third-generation Centrino platform, introduced in January 2006 at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show.

Intel Core (code-named Yonah) or Core 2 processor (code-named Merom)

Umm, refraction.... I think the GeForce 440 shafeen has mentioned is a Geforce4MX.... I think there's Geforce 4 MX 4000 and 440. I think..... ^^

[kinzuagolfer]

You got it labeled right but I'll confirm the Athlon 64 x2 and the Turion 64 x2. I get near identical fps on FFX (30-45) with the Athlon being 1-2 frames more.
Athlon 64 x2 4200+ @2.2
Turion 64 x2 2ghz

AMD Athlon XP
AMD Sempron
AMD Turion

[/size][/size]

Isn't it better to set Celeron under ''Won't work or barely do anything''
And Celeron D under ''Will work, but very slowly, possible problems''

Also I can confirm that the Geforce 2MX will work

I confirm that ZeroGS on RADEON 9550 is a bit faster than GSDX9(both PS1.4 and PS2.0) !
also I should add that PS1.4 is 20% faster than PS2.0

they should both work, unless you are unfortunate enough to have a very early one, but as i have written, it applies to P3 and above versions, just to make sure they have at least SSE

Intel Pentium M (Dothan) (2.0ghz)- "Will work without compatability problems, but will run slowly:"

That's just's from my experience but some games run full, or near full speed (KH1)... others are super slow ... That's with a NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra...

In case any laptop owners were wondering...

[refraction]

added to the list thanks

[SeZ]

P4 2.8 GhZ/1 Gig of RAM/Radeon 9800 Pro (128 Mb)

only tested FFX - had 2 try it, but unfortunately it didn't work - tried all there is but my max framerate without frame skippin' is bout 16, 17 fps, so very slow, i guess the CPU's the biggest Problem, but don't u all think it'll run better in, like version 1.0 or whatever? maybe then it'll work out for my PC too? what d'ya think?
