Hey guys, new person here (yeah I know what you're thinking, oh god ANOTHER one of these people). Bear with me in the mean time, I'm pretty noob to emulating. I actually try to avoid forums and come to them as a final resource.
So here's my dilemma:
I am a streamer on a website, and I use livestream to stream my games live to an audience, up to this point I've just been purchasing games on steam/in store and playing them. I've always thought about using emulators and playing a couple older 'retro' games if you will to fit the bill of my audience.
What I've done thus far:
Well I've checked out a few videos on youtube on how to set up various emulators and how to play them, rummaged through the configurations/settings and tried to get the best possible solutions for the problems that I'm having while using procaster (livestream tool). I haven't done a whole lot of research other than those videos and asking other streamers whats good (they basically have no clue from my understanding of what they're using). So I figured I'd come here and see if you guys can shed some light into my problems I'm currently facing
My questions/problems:
1. What would be the best sony-esque/type emulator to use, is there possibly an emulator that runs all 3 systems (don't really care about the handheld sony systems), or in my situation is it just best to use one emulator for each system?
2. The emulator that I have tried (PSX 1.3) runs well, and I really like it, very simple to use. However when I run procaster along with it, it creates lag and starts running slow. I know it can't be my rig because these are PSX games we're talking about, I run games like deadspace 2 and planetside 2 without hardly any difference in FPS. So what needs to be done to cut this lag situation out of the equation? It only happens when I run procaster (livestream tool), if I'm not running it, it runs tip top.
Would appreciate any kind of help in advance guys. Thank you!
