    Cool emulator requirements

    hi I just wanted to know which emulators run good on my pc specs 449 mhz /95.48 ram and a sis 315 315e video card and it said on the package 3d phantom from pine.inc and I could run nintendo 64 and pcsxe at normal speed and wanted to know if i could use gamecube and dreamcast etc.

    Dreamcast? Maybe. Gamecube? I doubt so.

    You might run ePSXe at low res, but none above that.

    Check the "Unfiltered framebuffer updates" on Pete's D3D /OGL and try to check the "Direct framebuffer updates" on "Special game fixes".

    I'm pretty sure it's the PC specs that let the game slow on something......

    Disclaimer: Not a PC expert.

    With that out of the way...Even if you could, you're not going to get particularly good results, especially with what sounds like onboard video. Remember, not all your resources are going to your emulator, so you're going to have to take out a good chunk of them on background apps and the OS.

    Like dozens of people would probably say, get a new comp if you can, and at the last, a better video card. A TNT2 even will suffice for PS games (I had a 1 GHz processor, though, so I can't say how much of an impact the CPU had), but it probably won't stand up to GC/DC emulation.

    Come on, obviously the PC specs slow down a lot, I was only suggesting possible ways to speed up. To mention I was able once to run PSX games such as Tekken 3 on my old PII 350Mhz, 128Mb SD-RAM & S3 Trio 3d (funny name) 4Mb videocard & ePSXe

    Just based on a quick search, it looks like the 3D Phantom's a line of video cards and the Savage 4 is an engine.
