You didn't beat the game

>>12417542
It will lag on PS2

>>12417551

if you have a high end phone they will definitely outperform most laptops under 1000, I know cause it happened to me

>>12417563
I think you're wrong cause pcsx2 has requirements at 2600 Passmark got heavy emulation and that cpu has 2800

>>12417567
nigger I wasnt the other anon Im just speaking from experience but Im sure any recently made laptop could run ps2 well enough just maybe not upscaled at 1080p if its a shitbox

>>12417568
recent doesn't mean powerful the spec is very different

>>12417542

if this one can run ps3, probably yeah

>>12417563
I have a 250$ poco from AliExpress.

No it won't.

Unless you want 2x resolution while playing GT 4

>thinkpad P14s and 5650u vega 7
I emulate ps2 at x4 res on a 10yo alienware (i7 6700hq gtx 970m) I bet that laptop can do the same.

>>12417620
Hot

>>12417590
gays are unironically more likely to have big dicks

but that's a discrete gpu

Hello anons, I am new to retro gaming and emulation. Honestly I am new to vidya in general. I have OpenEmu on Mac.

Can you please recommend me some retro games that are easy and fun? Personally I really gothic, dark and medieval settings. But I just want to play for fun.

thief games are the thing you're searching for

Integrated graphics have improved a lot, I bought a thinkpad recently with Ryzen 350 processor and the integrated graphics are more powerful than the full size GPU I had in my first gaming PC 8 years ago
It can play Resident Evil 7 on high graphics at 60fps, which is a pretty demanding game even for my current PC

>>12417849
Thank you but these are not available on Vimm

>>12417854
what is vimm?
can't you just buy a windows laptop for cheap

>>12417850
probably cost a ton, right

>>12417929
It was like £1200 on sale which I think isn't too bad for a T series thinkpad. You could probably get the same processor in a non-T or consumer level laptop for under £1000
I was looking at the Yoga line before and they had a model with the same processor and OLED screen for £900

>>12417854
they're pc games retard

This is only 400 and has an i7. Figured this would be enough to run ps2 but maybe I’m totally wrong?

>>12418109
ew, Intel.
also >.us
me €

>>12418131
Ew intel? Haha okay

get a used m2 MacBook Air with 8gb ram. or maybe M1 with 16gb but I doubt its cheaper. you can run everything retro flawlessly and with fast forward and resolution at retina (2k) barely making a dent into the CPU. pcsx2 works amazingly as does Dolphin. Ares for n64 works great. Everything earlier than that already would work on an original Samsung Galaxy phone from 2010.

porting kit works great for stuff like age of empires 2 (I use the steam HD edition, flawless, even though steam is gay)

I bought my Mac for like 850 shipped brand new a couple weeks before christmas 2023. I imagine they're quite a bit cheaper now on swappa

I bought a lexar 1tb HDD this past November for like $75 or something so even the base SDD Mac will be fine generally. Also not retro but this Mac played RE4 Remake without any issues on medium settings. There were some crashes but it was related to the initial port since it was a brand new port right around Xmas 2023.

I was trying to run a PS3 game but I couldn't figure out how to fake having a blu ray drive so I cant comment on that, which is also not retro.

open emu is pretty good for most things but some systems need specialized stuff. my personal Mac recommendations (apple silicon)

ps2: pcsx2
psx: duckstation
n64: Ares
GCN: dolphin
GBC/GBA: mGBA

open emu is especially good for MAME though I found. tends to work right of the box including for NEO GEO roms. But everything from 1981 Qix to Shock Troopers 2 to NHL Open Ice to Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 work pretty well on open emu's MAME core

>>12418223
*also that said, standalone SNES emulators are a nightmare on apple silicon for some reason so open emu seems to be the best.

one thing to keep in mind is open emu doesnt support retro cheevo's. I don't really care that much but some games it's fun to replay and earn the cheevo's

>>12418227
edit and im not saying SNES is a nightmare on apple silicon. only finding a 'mu-lator that supports cheevo's for SNES is

>>12418131
What’s so bad about intel. The specs on the one I linked seem pretty good for 400 or u can get an i5 for 300. Seems pretty reasonable

>>12417542
win 11 needs around 8gb ram to function
the older the os you run the better ps2/gc emulation will be

>>12418373
mobile intel runs hotter than mobile amd on average

>>12417560
different emulator on both platforms

Why don't you google the cpu and integrated graphics and see what games it can play? Your P14s Gen 2 (they use generations now) should be find for most shit, but you might want an actual dedicated gpu model of the P series if you want to make sure PS3 and Xbox are good. Just know that the steam deck's RDNA2 beats the shit out of Vega as far as igpu goes, so you are basically buying a worse steamdeck if your main goal is to play vidya on it.

>>12419218
Like we talking to where it would effect the product in the long term? Or is it dependent on what you’re doing because I’m not planning on anything past ps2 Xbox and such.
I guess it’s not a permanent solution and just a temporary one. Might just got for the i5 actually

>>12417590
>is gay
Source? I though he cucked Joe Redifer

>>12417551
Nigga, you could emulate PS2 on a Core 2 Duo, let alone any Zen processor like what OP has.

>>12419218
Never mind I’m looking at an acre aspire w a Ryzen 5 16g of ram and 1 tb of space for 300. Seems like a good deal and could hold all the retro

>>12419243
>you could emulate PS2 on a Core 2 Duo
Yeah, poorly, for games that are CPU intensive.

>>12418109
>Tiger Lake
Good enough to run PS2, but Alder Lake is better. It's cheaper too.

Lower clock speed, but the CPU has more cores and better IPC. PCSX2 likes using more than 4 physical cores for some games.

>>12421559
Okay but OP's CPU launched fifteen (15) years later, sports 6 cores with 12 threads instead of 2 cores with no multithreading, has 16 MiB of L3 cache instead of 0 MiB, and achieves significantly higher clock speeds.

Thank you anon

>>12419218
my i7 runs around 150-160° for most intensive games.
