PC COnfiguration for play Wii and PS2-Games

PhantomLord80

Hello, a question: What PC Configuration do I need to play Wii and PS2-Games smoothly?

I have an Intel Core i5 3450, 4 GB RAM and a Geforce 740 with 2 GB, Batocera and Games are stored on a SSD. I did not activate the nVidia-Drivers because the emulators get a lot slower.

Should I use a better graphic card? More RAM? A Core i7?

PhantomLord80 emulators, specially PS2 and Wii, will not get slower with the proprietary nvidia-drivers. Games should be playable with your PC specs.

Which emulators are slower with nvidia? Even legacy drivers are faster than nouveau. See the feedback in https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/forum/d/1851-batocera-linux-5-20-with-nvidia-legacy-drivers-390-xx.

You card is supported be the newest drivers. Could you test 5.20 and provide feedback? You are the first person I know to have worst results with nvidia.

I do not know the config it takes, but I have an I5 7500 with 8GB Ram without graphics card with Batocera on SSD and the WII, 3DS, Gamecube and PS2 works impecable
I think your graphics card is very light..

May I ask you wich PS2 games have you tested or settings you use?
I have i7 8550U with 8GB Ram without graphics card and a see little slowdowns e.g. in Tekken 5.
Thx

lux I tested with Dragon ball Z budokai 3, Soul Calibur 3. I just tested Tekken 5 and I'm not slowing down.
For the settings, I am in default

Minux87 Thx. I checked and your CPU is faster than mine, that's the reason.
The only other difference between us is I run Batocera from USB card with roms on SSD, but I don't know if it may be relevant

lux according to me whether it is with a HDD or SSD ca should be the same

It works or not

Good morning Minux87 ,
After a few months of use, are you still happy with your "i5-7500 and 8GB ram without a graphics card"?

Everything is going well, you don’t have problems with fps on ps2 or wii?
Can you make a comeback?
Thank you in advance.
