It may be just your PC then. PS2 emulation has ALWAYS been more CPU limited and that's due to the fact that the PS2 was prettty reliant on it's emotion engine and vector units. Increases in CPU performance these past serveral years have been incremental at best whereas GPU's have being just exploding in performance gains. What makes easier emulation for WII is it's graphics chip is pretty similar to a PC compared the PS2s special inhouse graphics synthesizer chip. What's your GPU anyways ? |
Somebody is not telling the truth here. It's either the PCSX2 developers that are wrong or it's the nintendo fans that are wrong. The Wii GPU isn't remotely similar to any PC GPU released since the DX7 chips of the late 90s. It uses register combiners instead of the programmable pixel shaders used in DX8 and up. Like you said, PS2 emulation is CPU bound. With Wii/GC, CPU emulation isn't as difficult, as they use single core, single threaded PowerPC 750 cores.
