The CELL was, according to many developers, a bitch to develop for especially when it came to the PS3 in the early days, and is a wholly different architecture than X86 or ARM. The reason we do not have a working PS3 and 360 processor is because, in my opinion, the complexity of the POWER-based CELL processors these consoles use. (Don't get a top-loading PS2 unit, that lid is about as flimsy as the top-loading PS1 Slim before it.)Ī 360 emulator is going to need something more modern, likely a 3GHz-plus Ivy Bridge or Haswell processor, or a future Intel and AMD architecture at 3.0 to 4.0 GHz with a beefy graphics card. It's pretty much saved me the trouble of buying another PS2 unit. Emulation got better when I got a Core i5 2400, and is practically PS2-like with my current processor, Core i7 3770.


I've followed PCSX2 since their public alpha release and have ran it on a Phenom II X4 840 processor. It is at pretty much the same state as one of the very early alpha builds of the PS2 emulator, PCSX2.Īs Unknown-One said above, a Core i5 at 3GHz is the bare minimum to run PSCX2. The developer of the only 360 emulator has stated that it only goes up to the menu, and that is it. Note: There is no working 360 emulator released publicly in existence today.
