My first PC build, hopefully will run everything Hyperspin has to offer

[Tchat67]

So I just checked out what appears to be the best pc build for Hyperspin from SimplyAustins very interesting tutorial:

 

I myself am a newb still to building PCs and Hyperspin so I don’t have any experience but nevertheless am motivated to build this PC if truly it can emulate everything Hyperspin has to offer on their biggest external hard drives they sell.

Ill want to have the perfect PC that can run Hyperspin flawlessly whether I play GameCube, Wii U, PS2, etc. I want every emulator running without issues.

Im looking into buying Hyperspins 16TB HDD(which has everything on it you could ever ask for) and am hoping everything can run flawless on this pc build:

 

 

Please do NOT buy this... pre-configured drives are a nightmare to support and troubleshoot. Really awful for you, the customer.

There are many of us here who are more than happy to walk you through an initial setup and answer any questions you might have. It really is best to put a little bit of time into learning the way that HS works so that you truly understand the system and can troubleshoot a majority of your own issues, later.

You know this will be an extremely tall order! Emulation is far from perfect and it does take a fair bit of knowledge to understand how to get every game working on every system. (Hyperspin will run on most things flawlessly, it’s the emulators that need tinkering with and require certain specs)

i have only been into emulation for 3yrs and I really only scratch the surface, so I understand the draw to something that’s seems “off the shelf” working. We cannot advise or support that route here because people that sell roms are doing it basically illegally. Even Simply Austin strongly warns against them, hence all his tutorials.

Anything illegal is going to be a stab in the dark you may get lucky but you probably will not.

I suggest watching s few of ETA Primes videos to get an idea of what sort of specs you need for certain emulators. Also check the emulators websites to see what they suggest as minimum requirements.

 

Generally high clock speed intel cpu’s Are recommended with a good few gigs of ram and a half decent GPUs. If you want to go as high as WiiU, PS3, 3DS then you gonna need to think more about your GPUs and specs in general.

I was originally thinking of building a Emulation PC with a Ryzen 2200 G recommended by ETA Prime:

 

But then again Simply Austin’s tutorial of an ultimate emulation pc that can ***run any emulator flawlessly*** seems more promising and more affordable of a build too.

I'd suggest you do some homework and look to do the build later in the year, as intel will be releasing new CPUs and more than likely a new range of motherboards will be needed to use them.

When you watch these Youtube videos, always take them with a pinch of salt and don't blindly follow what they say...

SA's video you linked is OLD. The G3258 CPU is a dual core CPU, it's true most emulators don't really use many cores BUT that is changing and it definitely won't cut the mustard for modern PC gaming! You've mentioned the Wii-U, the emulator for it Cemu added mult core support late last year.

Intel CPUs are faster clock for clock against AMD CPUs. Clockspeed is king really with emulation which is why ideally you want a CPU you can overclock (i.e run faster). The motherboard SA suggested was never really intended to OC, microcode was released to stop the G3258 being OC'd on the H series motherboards, it's the Z series which is meant for it. I don't really get the point of the Ryzen APUs if you intend to be a serious gamer. Once you add in the graphics card you'll wish you had bought a CPU not the APU.

I don't want to bore or confuse you with a lot of "Geek talk", just understand there is much to learn as Thatman has said. Building a PC isn't really "affordable" if you're doing it "properly", you'll average at least £100 per part give or take. In my view you should build something that's versatile so you get your monies worth, I'd also suggest avoid doing Mini-ITX builds as these tend to be more expensive and ultimately limit your ability to expand on your build.

All the best with it

What sort of GPU is everyone using?
I’m not wanting to use the pc for anything other than emulation. I’d like to be able to get the PS1 and Dreamcast running smoothly.
The rest of my systems is an intel G5460 I think [emoji3] and 8gb of ram.
