Lousy specs - will it run Skyward Sword regardless?

[rick_meadows]

Hello all

I know there must be hundreds of threads like these the last few weeks, but I know nothing about hardware and wouldn't know if someone else's situation applied to mine. Anyway, here's my specs:

Specs:
CPU AMD Athlon II X3 445
Graphics Card 1024MB GeForce GTS 250
RAM 4 Gb
Windows 7 64-bit SP1

I couldn't test it myself because I do not currently have a motion plus wiimote. I thought, before going out to buy it, I'd make sure SS works.

I played Twilight Princess (GC version) entirely on these specs and the only drawback was the Hyrule Field slowdown, yes, even with that setting ticked. I'm hoping SS doesn't have an area that large...

Thanks in advance

You can try it out if you download the Emulated Wiimotion Plus build.

That's great, I'll sure to test that when I get home from work.

But taking my specs into consideration, will I be able to play the game at 90%-100% speed? I'm using Twilight Princess as a parameter, but that's not how things work, I know...

From what I've experienced from when I tried it (used the WM+ build 3.0-204 or so), you will probably be able to play it at around 50-60%.. not sure though, so don't quote me on that.
Let us know how your rig handles it.

I'm getting 100% in most places and 80-90% in large open areas and my system isn't too dissimiliar to yours.

E8400 oc'd to 4Ghz, 4GB ram, HD4850 512MB.

Funny thing is, I lose about 1-2 frames if I run the CPU at stock (3GHz) even at 2x scaling at 1680x1050 and no AA.
