I see that the PC-FX emulator is getting closer to being complete, which is very nice to see. Anyways, I need to know what the computer hardware requirements are going to be for this emulator, because the machine I use will most likely not be able to handle it since it's only a Pentium II with 97mb of RAM. However, my dad has a laptop that might be able to handle it. Also, I need to know if it's neccessary to have decent video card to handle it. Thanks in advance.

A PII won't be enough, I can play to a couple of games at almost full speed on my PIII 600Mhz but for most games a 1GHz+ machine is required. You will need a decent video card too but you don't need the fastest ones, it's a bit slow on a TNT 2 but there's no problem on a GeForce 3, even a GeForce 2 should be ok I think.

Thanks, Dave. I have a couple of old video cards laying around somewhere, I will have to get back to you on them. I just know they are not very good, but might be as good as a G-Force II. Thanks for the info again, it's all I needed.

It should be ok I think, at least the emulator won't be slowed down by the video card. Smile

Hi Dave, I'm pretty sure my main system will cope with the PC-FX emu (P4 1600/1GB RDRAM/258mb Radeon 9600 Pro) and on my server setup (2.4GHz Celeron/768Mb DDR/GeForce2 Ti), but what about my laptop... it's a 1.4GHz Centrino/256Mb DDR/64meg shared grafx. I figure it should run ok, but it has struggled on a few PC games but i think that's due to me trying to run everything on max, lol.

Blood, you have WAY too much money... and you had the cheek to charge me for that PSU too Rolling Eyes

The Centrino is a cracking little cpu, it was more the grafx/ram situation that was playing on my mind, although i'm gonna put at least another 256Mb of DDr in there soon so the ram won't be a problem then.
