This thing has trouble running anything made past like 2012 and the newer emulators out there totally bust it. I tried recently running citra and it could barely hit 30%. Would switching over to linux lighten the load on the cpu and free it up so I could run more demanding games?
Also how is linux for emulation and gaming in general?
Oh, okay
I still gotta test out pcsx2. But citra, ps3, are a no-go on this rig. I can run anything PSP and below though okay.
RPCS3 reqs are serious, I can't even run it well on my desktop.
Your CPU meets the minimum single thread req for pcsx2 so I think it should work (possibly with tweaking).
How does Dolphin run? You can try the ishiiruka fork which is performance focused
Sounds promising!
I'd have to give it a shot.
