I know this thread has been around alot, but i never seem to find any answers that fit. :\ I just want to know, what are the most minimum specs to run pcsx2 at atleast 30 or 40 fps?
PS2 Emulation is a complex task, far worse than emulating a console from the previous generation (PlayStation1, N64, Saturn), simply due to the CPU power required to get 'playable' speeds from a PS2 game under emulation. Whilst speed can be improved via various 'recompilers' (eeREC and vuREC, Emotion Engine recompiler and Vector Unit CPU recompiler respectively), you will still need the latest and most powerfull machine you can get your hands on to even break the 30 FPS mark.
So you're looking at atleast a Dual Core processor at maybe 3Ghz per core and up. Possibly even more.
