I cant use my keyboard as a controller,help?

its not like the ps2 is any better then a ps1

Of course I don't expect you to understand most of that but if you want it in simple terms it's like comparing a single core (PS1) to a quad core (PS2). Light years difference.

Core 2 Duo is better for PCSX2 because 'usually' they are clocked faster than the Quad models. But if you get a quad at the same or higher Ghz than a Core 2 Duo it will naturally be better.
i5 and i7, better use google

Sorry, Bositman. But i think u are offtopic
Time to embrass u also
"Did u even read the topic??!!"
hahah, i was just kidding, anyway, it does make sense that PS1 only have that few features. But when I looked at the 2MB of Main RAM, who won't be surprised, if PS1 only need that little amount of memory.
But hey (back to topic) since the topic is this, why won't the author of this thread understand ?

[Nycgirl92]

well i don't understand why ps2 needs way more specs then a ps1 when they have the same graphics.

which one is a better proscor thats one>> http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35605 or this one >> http://www.intel.com/products/processor/...y_corei7ex

if there's processor any better please let me know.
i don't know much about computers.
also can i put that processor in my computer without having to buy a new one computer? can i also replace my graphic card?

what else is needed besides a good graphic card and a good processor?

[ikazu]

Of course it's i7.
But your motherboad must support the L775Socket for Core2Duo and L1366 Socket for i7 Extreme (if i'm correct)
And look

well i don't understand why ps2 needs way more specs then a ps1 when they have the same graphics.

You can't compare ps2 graphics to ps1 graphics. Did u read the wikipedia carefully ? It's stated that ps1 graph only support up to 640x480, while ps2 can support up to 1280x800 (if i'm correct). The difference is like Pentium 2 and Core2Duo
Do you get what i mean ? I'm not expecting you to understand all of them, but i just wanted u to get the simple meaning. it's like pentium II and core2duo, that's all

Other than good graphics card and good processor, u probably want HD sound.

Well when i play ps1 games on my ps1 the garphic quality is the same as a ps2.

and what speakers give out HD sound?

[ikazu]

Uh, what makes u think that ps1 graphic is same with ps2 graphic ? Since they got many difference of course. Like in Persona PSX with Persona PS2? The animation of course! And like i said, its different is like pentium II and core2duo >.<

not to me..i have used a intel core duo and its the same as a quad..and i have used both game consoles ps1 and ps2 and have since no garphic improvment,

You're right! It looks the same!

[rama]

No difference.

i dont know how you manged to make the ps1 image looks uglier then the ps2 image but it wasnt like that on my tv or on my computer.You probaly put low relution for ps1 settings on the emultor, but if you actually owned both consoles you would see theres is no differeance,, and used bad parghic settings for it to give it a low quality picture.

anyways can someone answers the queations below
which one is a better proscor thats one>> http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35605 or this one >> http://www.intel.com/products/processor/...y_corei7ex

if there's processor any better please let me know.
i don't know much about computers.
also can i put that processor in my computer without having to buy a new one computer? can i also replace my graphic card?

also i tired to use a different game to see if it would run faster then the game i was trying to play and i get a black screen and the Numbers's keep increasing really fast..a picture attached to show wut it looks like.

and also i opened up a game ISO game and it come with different files i dont know which one to choose to configure

help soon!!!

Nycgirl92:
Have a warning for piracy, the screenshot shows you downloaded the game.
Also buy a completely new computer. Replacing parts yourself is only an option if you know what you're doing.
