    Definitely Dreamcast on down.

    Maybe with some tweaking of settings you could get some less resource intensive ps2 and gamecube games to run pretty decent. I'm guessing you have integrated graphics?

    No idea with DS but I assume so.

    I meant less of a strain on your pc, something like FFX.

    Not sure really, FFX is the only thing I've been able to run so far. I found this list awhile back though and it may at least give a few ideas. Your pc I believe is a lot more powerful than this guys so check it. I have a gma so that's why I've bookmarked it for future reference.

    Also have a look at the last post in that forum thread.

    Go to Start menu and type in dxdiag, then when the program appears in the list press Enter to run it. On the second page you will find GPU info. Copy and paste here, or post a screenshot of it. This will help give folks a better idea of what your computer can run.

    I was running a 2.3Ghz dual-core CPU with an old nVidia 8600 GS and emulating Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia or Portrait of Ruin would both slow down at times with NO$GBA 2.6. Also, Kingdom Hearts on PCSX2 would run fairly well with a little bit of slowdown in larger areas/fights. FFX-2 was pretty bad, though.


    Be afraid. Be very afraid.
