getting back into emulation

**Truenofan** · February 19th, 2006, 04:18

im just getting back into emulation after a long absense. i was wondering, what kinda system does this emulator require, would i need to upgrade or would i be fine as it is. im currently running a athlon 64 3500 winchester, with 2gb of ddr400 geIL/Mushkin ram, a radeon x1900xt(so happy i got one now). and more than enough drive space. is that a capable system?

Would you need to upgrade for anything? o_O

Either way, this emulator cannot run games at full speed. You're welcome to test out the compatibility and such, but don't expect very fast speeds.

.. Yes, even on that monster you call a computer. D:

oh i know, i used to play psx on a k6-2 300(oc'ed to 350) with a voodoo 2 and like 150 some mb of ram. w/o sound of course. im just wondering if my comp was enough. since if im not mistaken a computer will require at least 1/4 more power than the system its emulating, at least back then it did. also, im curious, how do i load the games that i currently own into the emulator, i have a few games that i like, that i would like to try out, including a few of the newer games. another question, where can i get neat pictures like the one you have...i like it.

Even that beast isn't enough to run Dolphin. Although I wish it could

huh, i dont know why your all whinin.....i have a super celeron pentium 8th generation helium dna 50.5 ghz processor with a thermonuclear air intake fan, about 7,000 gb ddr 12000 ram, with a 4096 bit pci express x72 256 gb nvidia - fusion ati sli graphics card......dolphin runs games at like AT LEAST 47 fps for me......

EDIT: ok, so i lied.....its only got 5,000 gb ram......

what kinda system would be enough, because im planning on upgrading to a athlon 64 x2 4200 and overclocking it to a 4600.

A Gamecube/Revolution.

You failed by saying "celeron"

about 7,000 gb ddr 12000 ram,

7000 isn't true, 1G of ram is 1024MB, it would be 7168000MB, but, 1024GB = 1TB , so would be 7TB

with a 4096 bit pci express x72 256 gb nvidia - fusion ati sli graphics card

only 256MB?

nvidia + ati? will never happen

......dolphin runs games at like AT LEAST 47 fps for me......

that slow? you can see by your specs

EDIT: ok, so i lied.....its only got 5,000 gb ram......

would be 5TB so 5120000MB

Learn how PCs are working then learn to fake spec them

Plus, powerful graphics cards are not required by Dolphin and likely never will be. As long as it supports PS2.0 in hardware, then that is enough.
