I ask because I would love buy a mini PC that meets spec and install SNES low polling controller adpaters into the casing for a windows based Emulator console with frontend in a smaller form factor.
Also does anyone know if these are in fact available from Dragon Box?
Playing my carts and saves would be bliss
I did a little research to answer my own question if anyone is also wondering what the reccomended specs are.
I am still confused.
Apparently BSNES turned into higan but then BSNES was taken over by Byuu which makes google reference both higan and BSNES.
BYUU claims that his emulator is quote: "300% faster (than higan) scanline-based, multi-threaded graphics renderer"
The only reccomended Specs i was able to find easily was for (higan) on a Reddit thread:
"Depends on how important accuracy is to you. Zsnes can run many games on a 300mhz processor and all compatible games on pretty much any PC you have lying around. Zsnes isn't very accurate but it gets the job done. Snes9x is much more accurate but works best with a 1ghz or faster CPU. I would recommend this for your 1.6 GHz dual core CPU. If you're upgrading anytime Higan (formerly called bsnes) Is the only 100% accurate, bug-free SNES emulator out there but its requirements are pretty hefty. 3GHz will play most games, but some games that made use of certain coprocessors (like Megaman X2 and X3 with the cx4 chip) need up to a 3.7GHz to run at full speed."
higan uses a single processing core. With hardware acceleration now being used to support high rez mode 7, Would a video card be recommended?
If anyone knows. I would love to hear what decent minimum pc build would be to support it.
So if 3ghz is reccomended for higan and BSNES is 300% faster. Where does that leave me with the added 3d effect. are p4 processors at 4ghz gonna work?
