Charco Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 You can check the requirements on PCSX2's FAQ here: http://pcsx2.net/support/links/faq.html#S2Q1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Atom processor will not handle PS2 games. I get performance issues with some Nintendo 64 games on my 3 Atom systems even though that z8300 in probably new than my chips I still am very doubtful that you could push PS2 off of it.

SentaiBrad Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 EVen if your Atom could, it's still integrated, which means it wont do as much as you are hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathcloud9 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Can anyone suggest a micro pc that would be capable of running ps2 and wii roms??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 You'd be very hard pressed to find one honestly. The farther up you go, the more powerful a PC you're gonna need, and micro PC's are just not gonna really offer that kind of power. @DOS76 please correct me if I am wrong since you've been using these for a while, but you're not gonna have the power there simply put. Most are integrated graphics and that alone can be the stoppage to wanting to play PCSX2 and Dolphin. So unless you have a stupid expensive and powerful Micro PC, that happens to check off all the boxes, then I am unsure you're gonna get up there in that form factor.

Lordmonkus Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Anything with a fast CPU, preferably 4.0 GHz or higher. Now it doesn't have to be that fast but for PS2 emulation you will get better results, it's a demanding emulator. You wont need a GPU to run those emulators in software mode at native resolution but you will need to CPU to run them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 There are some GigaBrix (I think) with i7's and even with the integrated it will probably be able to push it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
