Yeah seems to be the cheapest imma find.
I'm guessing it will be able to run ps2 and xbox pretty well?

I was hoping to be able to use older shit and it be cheaper but doesnt seem likely lol

Thanks,

Does anyone know much about emulation?
I've been told it's mostly CPU power.
Would spending the extra for a GPU help much?

my 2nd link is a very popular choice for watching blu-ray and emulating console games.
spending extra on a gpu won't help much at your budget cos the cpu is already overkill for your needs, and u will just be wasting money by overkilling it more with a dedicated GPU, and u will need to get a bigger case. At that point, you might as well just raise your budget to like $800 and get a decent gaming pc instead and use it for light gaming AND what you originally intended to do

I mean it's CPU intensive compared to the intended hardware due to shortcuts (easy way to explain it).
But a PS1 didn't really have much for CPU power, even a low end CPU today is several times better. Any modern 4core should be fine for emulating anything before xbox 360/ps3/wiiu

Ty I'll prolly use yours then. Buying it friday.



Okay ty mate

I more had the dedicated GPU for if he ever decides to actually play PC games. Even if it's just a party box, things like beatsaber can be fun if you invest the money.

yeah its basically just for when friends come over, ive already got a real comp

If it's just for Mario games, 2200g alone is plenty.

well like spyro crash some ps2 games, prolly xbox games
