What Windows Version should i go with?

[Alucard_The_Dex]

Few questions.

Would my 900mhz be enough to emulate from nes - Playstation?

If im going to play Dos games should i go with Windows 98, ME, or 2000?

Ive Played a few Dos games on windows 2000 even XP with the only problem of no sound. Now i did download them so i dont know if they are patched to work with 2000&^ or what.

Should i Just dual boot 2000 and 98? Cuz honestly i dont like 98 at all but if its what i need to cleanly play games like Blood then i can fix it up to coop.

Any Help would be great Thank ya.

If you have less than 128 MB of RAM, consider installing Windows 2000 instead of Windows XP. Now to answer your questions:

Would my 900mhz be enough to emulate from nes - Playstation?

Yes. Even my old 850 MHz computer (which I still use) can run it flawlessly.

If im going to play Dos games should i go with Windows 98, ME, or 2000?

There's a MS-DOS emulator called DOSBox which allows you to play MS-DOS games under NT environment, such as Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and possibly Windows Vista.

See your question above.

With DOSBox it won't be necessary.

Project 64 and Epsxe runs at 20 fps v.v I got a Asus 9400 video card. Any ideas?

[Jale]

Maybe it's not powerful enough to use Project64, but it should run ePSXe fine even at 20 FPS, since this one has frame skipping. For Nintendo 64 emulation I suggest 1964 instead.

[Alucard_The_Dex]

How do i do frame skipping? And yeah Project 4 doesnt seem all that configureable with the suggested plugins.

[Jale]

Video plugin configuration.

Ok so a whole new set of problems just apeard. I thought Hey running the ps1 CD could be slowing it down abit and even if not why not put my fav game onto the HD so i put the game onto the HD and ran it with epsxe with Petes open gl 1.26 it think it is. Running off the CD it worked fine dandy just slow. I move it over and it says BAH! No wgl extensions! ok so i googlerd it and it says its somthing to do with pixel shaders..... makes no sense sense it was runing Fine off the CD but not the .img. OK so i used the Fast settings and made sure any pixel shading crap was off. it runs great amaizing yay..........get to the menu and eveything and its all garbled to bright there are pure white copys of everything offset from everthing. what the hell???? why is this becoming more complicated? I ran the same .img on a 2.1 ghz tower with a ati radeon 9550 with no problems at all at 500 FPS (which was the defualt for some reason) but none the less it worked

ePSXe:

Minimum system requirements

* Processor: 1 Ghz cpu (processor) or faster recommended
* RAM: 64 MB minimum (note: not 64mb total of ram on your whole system, 64mb free to use at any given time) However, 128mb total RAM works well, running at an almost perfect FPS with maybe a little jump here and there, but nothing highly noticeable.
* Graphics Card: 3D acceleration supported, OpenGL support can help
* OS: Windows 9x (95, or 98/98SE), NT (XP, 2000, Vista, etc), Linux (any distro will do)
* DirectX: DirectX 7a or higher, this is required for keyboard input.
* CD-ROM: 16x or faster (optional because you can always rip your games onto your hard disk drive as CD images, by using software such as Nero, Alcohol 120%, etc)

It should be noted that if the computer just meets the minimum system requirements, ePSXe will emulate games very roughly, averaging from about 60% to 100% full speed depending on what plugins you use and how high the settings are on them.

Project64:

Minimum system requirements

Intel Pentium 3 700Mhz or AMD Athlon 800Mhz CPU
128MB system RAM
100% Microsoft DirectX 7 compatible video, sound and input devices
Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft DirectX 7 (default plugins), DirectX 8 (all included plugins)

Highly recommend:

Intel Pentium 3 1.2Ghz or higher or AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz or higher
256MB RAM or more
nVidia GeForce3 or later or ATI Radeon or later
Creative Soundblaster Live! or higher
Wishtech Adaptoid and original Nintendo N64 controller for each player(mmmm tastey!)
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP

Hope this helps you all, Alucard_The_Dex;80883!

Im gonna put a 2.2 mhz mobo+cpu into it im tired of working on 900mhz even if it is my basic rig. Only one thing is stoping me right now and thats the pin connectors are specific for both mobos for the power and leds so i have to make an adaptor v.v gonna suck.

[Zach]

Umm.. which pins specifically are you talking about ? Don't quite understand what your saying, but it sounds like you are talking about your power supply and mobo have different connectors?

As far as power LEDs go.. they have always been one universal config, that has never changed..
