| Hardware acc. Emulators...what specs should the PC be? |
| (1/1) |
| AE35:
Hey all. I'm thinking about what specs(emulator requirements) we would need for some of the none-mame emulators. For example, I want Daytona(Model 2 emulator) to look and run better than it does know. Right now I have a Radeon 9200 in the machine(I did this to all my normal PC's, passive cooling) Then I tried the computer downstairs(Geforce MX 440 :)), not better. Should I get a new GFX for such an emulator? will do it do a difference? And how much do CPU power matter when there's HW acceleration?? Thanks, Nicholas |

You haven't told us your other system specs, those help too. Generally speaking a card that'll do directx8 or better (preferably 9) will improve performance, but not THAT much (maybe around 5-10%). And by "do directx 8" I mean it's fully compliant, not that dx8 doesn't crash on it. :) |

Hey! The PC is around 2.8ghz AMD with 1 gb ram. I just remember rading something about emulators like Model 2 not using the GFX very much:) |
