I'm pretty sure there are filters involved here that make better graphics

I know you probably already know this, but I wanted to clarify a part of your post for others. Clockspeed is still important. There isn't much multi-threading in emulation, at most two cores/threads are used so that makes it a very clock-speed dependent application when talking about intel vs. intel or amd vs. amd (Instructions per cycle on each core are also important so Intel vs. AMD doesn't work.) People always say go for IPC and clock-speed over anything else if you want to emualate games at the best settings. An i3 or Pentium at 3.2 GHZ + is going to be better than an i7 at 2.4ghz, for example, despite having a fourth to half of the threads, because these applications just don't use multi-threading or more than two cores (there are some instances where they can, but it shows minimal difference.) http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3258-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4700MQ (before overclock) http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4700MQ-vs-Intel-Core-i3-4130 Having said that, his CPU should run most games at full speed (don't know which resolution with his GPU, guessing 720p.) |
Thanks for clarifying.
I don't know much about PC gaming and emulation requirements and such, so it's very helpful.
If I could run PS2 games at 720p, that'd be awesome and I'd be content with it.
(I bought this laptop not for games, but for multitasking with office software (e.g. really huge Excel files) and PDFs. So far it's doing a great job.)

All these RPG games I've never seen before in my childhood... Kingdom Hearts is the only one.. What was I doing with my PS2?...

A lot of them were released in 2005/2006, near the launch of the 7th gen. You probably were distracted with the new consoles.
PSP looks great too on emulation. I tried out Birth by sleep on my 750ti and looked awesome :)
I got everything working and was playing Yakuza 2 start out of my disc drive. Controller working nice as well. Only issues I ran into was the sound. FPS is fine but audio would have occasional glitches or errors. It was odd.

Are you serious? This game can be emulated on PC? No bugs, no glitches, no sound error, nothing wrong with it? If so, oh man! :D

From the few hours or so I played of it, nope. You need a good CPU for it. One of the mot demanding games on the emulator.

Got my PS3 in 2008.

Thanks, will try it out then and see how well it performs on my laptop! Won't have time to try it on my PC since I will leave for business in Shanghai this weekend and will be gone for 2 weeks. :( Must have some fun to do in the hotel, right. :)
