I can say from experience that Super Mario sunshine gamecube will not run smoothly on a 1.8ghz core2duo. Sound is choppy. Luigi's mansion however will. My 2.4ghz quadcore AMD is not very smooth with monster hunter on linux build of PS2 emulator. I believe in building the system I need. I'm building a classic cab. I actually think the 1.2 ghz p3 with gforce 2 is overpowered to run advance mame & menu but getting a small footprint minimal linux distro to install & boot properly on older hardware is just too damn annoying. :) And don't get me started on rotating the screen at boot for a vertical cab. :dizzy: So someone looking to run dolphin & PS@ emulator should get a system with some grunt. They will need it. People who buy an i3 or i5 to play classics just confuse me though. |

Thank you all for the advice. I discovered a store called MicroCenter in upstate NY that has everything at hand. I purchased my own build for 700$. The parts I chose were: Intel Core i5-4670K @3.40GHz 16GB Ram Nvidia GeForce 650 ti (Had in old computer, not part of the final tab) ASUS ATX motherboard Windows 7 Ultimate So far no problems running the working Dolphin games, and watching everything else move perfectly. |
