Last time i tried it on my P4 3.0ghz it worked, but was barely playable.

Might work on a dual core machine, but i also think it depends on your graphics card.

What are your PC specs?

2 gigs of ram, 5000+ amd, 3400 ati

Best to just try it then, get hold of some discs or iso's (google is your friend, but there going to be BIG files) also if you get hold of any discs you can use alcohol 42% to rip your own iso's.

Post your results would be interesting to know.

I tried it on a P4 3.2 GHz for God of War 1 and it was barely playable, it was playing at 30 fps so all the motion and animation was at halfspeed.  It did work but you cant use it, also i tried it from a disc and an iso and the iso worked much better FYI so if you try a disc and you cant getit to play right try the iso.

I have it setup on both my cabs.  There are some really great shmup ports that came out on PS2 and work perfect in the emulator like, Do DonPachi Dai Ou Jou and Esp Galuda.  Even the screen rotation in the games work so I can play them perfectly on my vert Blast City.  Also, Metal Slug 6 plays perfect on it.

Here is ESP Galuda:

What video plugin would you use for a singlecore P4... if I remember right the was the emulator works it uses your CPU more for graphic processing than the graphics card...  this may be why i cant get it to run at 60 fps
