No, im not being cocky and saying that my computer can emulate anything, i just need to know a genuine list of its capabilities, thats all.

CPU:
Intel® Core™ i7-2920XM (2.50GHz, 8MB L3, 1600MHz FSB, 55W) (quad core)

RAM:
8gb RAM, ddr3

Graphics card:
NVIDIA® QUADRO® 1000M (2gb)

i know i can most definitley play psx, just unsure about later consoles like ps2, 3ds/ wiiu are definitley a stretch

I have a somewhat similar CPU, it's an i7-3630qm (so slightly newer but not enough to make a big difference in performance)
With an AMD Radeon HD7970M.
It runs pretty much everything I throw at it, Dolphin at 3x native res (1920x1584) is no problem even with all sorts of shaders enabled through DolphinFX (FXAA, Bloom, Tonemapping, Celshading...), PCSX2 runs similarly well although I find PS2 emulation to be more problematic than GC/Wii in general.
Not sure how powerful the Quadro 1000M is, I seem to remember it's pretty weak for gaming, so you may have to make do with a lower internal resolution and without all the fancy effects but it should run anything up to PS2/Wii well.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Old people games
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, why?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
