Title: Selecting Computer for Hyperspin full speed? MINI PC Recommendations?
Post by: Demon-Seed on January 17, 2015, 08:34:41 am
Hey Guys
My head is spinning when I try to figure out what computer I need for my needs. Can anyone help? I am sorry as this has likely been asked before.

Looking to build a console for my tv, with hyper spin, and want it to play Dreamcast down at least...  Looking to have wireless game pads and have HDMI out.

What the heck do I need? I read everything from an old dural core will work too an I7? so confused..... please provide suggested computer specs.

Also any recommendations on stores in Canada? (its been a very long time since i bought hardware!!)... I am also really interested in the MINI PC's however no clue what one/specs I would need to run hyper spin/Dreamcast..?

thanks
Jim

a Core 2 Duo with a decent video card will do the trick.

Hey
Is there an amd equivalent? What type of ram and video card would be suggested? Will any of those mini computers play dc? Those all in one computers that are like the size of a wii?

You don't need a crazy ass computer to run hyperspin. My i3 with built in video card runs hyperspin just fine. :dunno

I am looking at a Shuttle or Mini PC as well, will they run DC and hyper spin? I noticed the chips can be different too.. what specs would work?
