It will have some slowdowns in the demanding areas and in some spells but it should work decently

Q6600 running at 3.2...2gb SLI RAM...SLI 8800GT...and no matter what I try there are still some crappy games that wont get past 10 FPS...

Yes that is expected,this IS emulation after all. Some games hit bugs in the code so no matter how good your PC is they crawl. All you can do is hope a newer version of the emulator fixes the problems

Using a laptop here...

Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

Intel Centrino 2 Duo CPU 2.53GHz

4.0 GB RAM

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650

My main focus is more on my CPU, is it at least passable for most games? I've looked at most of the posts and they either seem way lower then mine or a way higher. (I'm not all that computer savvy so sorry if my question has already been answered somewhere else, I tried looking for it).

Oh, and thanks for your guys hard work in trying to make the best emulator for the PS2.

It will be enough for some games and not for others. It all depends on which games you will play but keep in mind mobile processors are always slower than their desktop counterparts.

You should be able to play most games at least partially... Your FPS will most assuredly have dips, especially in busy parts of games... but it really depends on the individual if it's "playable" or not.


A lot of people with slow computers are used to things being slow and therefore have more patience and can deal with lots of slowdown... Me on the other hand, can't hence having to upgrade from a similar (albeit AMD) system to get games going without slowdown.

That said, your best bet when playing PS2 games is to play them with native res, and likely with a lot of speed hacks turned on.

Hello could you pls tell me is this procesor good enouth ? http://processorfinder.intel.com/details...Spec=SLAY7

ITs quite good, with speedhacks make most game splayable at full speed. And with overcloking it rox xD
