Chankast: is a 2.0 GHz CPU the absolute minimum?

[mapzilla]

My family is considering a new laptop, but the one they are wanting has a 1.7GHz CPU.

The RAM is 1 Gig which is more than enough. And the video card is the latest.

Has anyone gotten Chankast to run at full speed on a CPU less than 2.0 GHz ?

Your best bet is NullDC because Chankast is a picky emulator that require something. :)

I got Chankast to work on my 1GHz machine! Amazing considering nulldc probably won't even run on anything less than 1.6GHz.

The framerate ranges between 15-35 fps. Slow but playable. Especially Power Stone, which is very smooth.

Too bad I can't adjust the over/under clock (chankast doesn't recognize laptop + and - keys).

I going to be adding an additional 256 RAM. Hopefully I can gain another 10-15 fps. That would rock!

Has anyone else been able to significantly improve their DC emulation experience by adding RAM chips?

NullDC is the best emulator and higher compability than Chankast. The next NullDC will be release soon and more accurate games to be fully playable. I have seen some screenshots from nulldc team... awesome. Chankast RIP!
