Hey there,
So, I got a hyperspin machine and I'm wanting to upgrade to include pcsx2 but, more importantly I want it to run Dolphin for the Wii games (and a few GC).
Firstly, I'm on a tight budget. However, I do have a PC in mind (at the $700 range) but I was wanting to ask around with people that already have working knowledge with Dolphin on what I can expect with these specs.
Specs are as follows:
Intel i5 7400 3.0Ghz Quad Core
8Gb RAM DDR4
AMD RX 480 4Gb
So in theory this rig should work as it meets the vague requirements that I've found for Dolphin (sse2, pixelshading, dx9, etc?) but the question is "how well?".
To further help paint a picture on what I can expect with this set of specs, I have a few games that I'm more interested in than any others which I'll list below:
GC: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Killer 7, LoZ: Windwaker, Ultimate Muscle
Wii: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Mario Kart Wii, Muramasa, No More Heroes, Punch-Out! (this is the one I'm MOST interested in running), Super Mario Galaxy
I'm interested in running these particular titles as close to the real thing (within emulation boundaries of course).
Looking forward to hearing from the community on whether this is the PC for the job.
Thanks
