dannymc79 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 What's the most recent system I can comfortable emulate on Hyperspin with this spec PC (still to add 4TB hard drive)? - Intel® Core™ i5-3570K Processor Quad-Core(3.40GHz - 3.80Turbo) - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB Memory Graphic Card Gigabyte Dual-Fan - 512GB Memory SSD Silicone Power SPCC - 8GB Memory Ram Patriot 1867MHz 2* 4GB - Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 - 530W PSU Thermaltake Smart SE 80+ - Nzxt Gaming Pc Case - MSI Z77A-G43 (Intel Core i3/i5/i7, Gigabit LAN, Socket LGA1155) Motherboard - Asus Wifi Card + 2 Antenna's - Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit
dark13 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 It's still a decent system despite the years, it will run almost every ps2/wiiU/gamecube game. To play Zelda BOTW you'll need 16gb of ram as full shader cache takes 12gb. Some mame 3d konami games will be unplayable (maybe they might run on a 5ghz cpu). The only thing my 4460 can't really run is YUZU. Consider that core i architecture, core per core, clock per clock, didn't improve so much over the years. For emulation 4 cores are enough, there are some 6 core recompiler (CEMU) but they are unstable and didn't improve so much framerate. As you can see here https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i9-9900K-vs-Intel-i5-2500K-vs-Intel-i5-3570K/3334vs804vs828 the difference between the first core i5 and latest corei9 is not that great considering single core performances. Basically modern cpus run better because they have more cores and better instruction set. Ah, 2500k is a 2011 cpu. Moore's law is basically dead... Automatizing infopanels creation from .csv files for HTPCs themes (look at infopanel tutorial.zip on the ftp in dark13 folder) PNGs to SWFs automatized flash scripts Hyperspin Wheelset automatized template (photoshop's variables + batch) Aeon nox 4.13 W.I.P. hyperspin skin

Thank you for the great answer. Would you basically recommend then I expand the RAM to 16gb minimum? Also, have you any examples of the 3D Konami games you mention will be unplayable. My main goal with this setup is to have good lightgun game compatibility. Sound realistic?
