i've been playing Capcom Fighting Evolution (US version) on my laptop :-
Vista Home Premium
Intel Pentium Dual Core 1.60ghz
2gb RAM
Basic Graphics Card
after much option clicking and mouse twitching (technical term) i managed to run it with sound between 60-65fps in forced frameskip with all speedhacks and cpu options on. i am in hogs heaven!
this might be psychological rather than technical but even with frameskip options on it ran very smooth for me and i personally didn't notice any major clipping of sound or major graphical errors.... i run my windows in high res and so i always put the emu's in windowed mode as much as possible!
i'm sure that people could get better results on their faster cpu's with graphics on board, faster RAM etc.... but for me thats a personal achievement i'm quite proud of!! (i was gloating to friends that i got 30fps on the last release with no sound lol!!!)
next big thing is to run complex 3d games!! lmao!!
as far as a 'perfect' games list is concerned. maybe consider a traffic light sysyem? (green=80 to 100% playable, amber=50 to 79% playable, red=less than 50% playable or not playable with descriptions of what emulator options, under what spec and the glitches encountered) i think that peeps would actually use it as a guide rather than a definitive list. a lot of peeps who emulate are used to experimentation so if a game is in the red then that could be a gentle reminder that you probably might not get very far. most compatibility lists i've seen don't get updated as regularly as the emulator does so i think good use of discretion and willingness to experiment for the greater good is always gonna work!
Capcom Fighting Evolution is deffo a green game as it runs damn smooth with all the speedhacks and cpu tweaks on as above. so imagine if you had a powerfuller machine than mine (just about everybody, lol)!
whatever happens i'm enjoying happy gaming so far! hugs to the pcsx2 crew!
