hi there 

so I v been looking for a mini pc to run emulators on and since I know almost nothing about computer spec Iam hoping some could help me with it here. so I found this refurbished Fujitsu Esprimo q520 on ebay at £100 which is just about my budget limit .but not sure if it can do the job .  ps2 ,psp, gamecube and wii emulators are those Iam not sure whether this pc is powerfull enough to run smoothly!

maybe a simpler question can it run gta V . becuse i guess if it can it should be ok with the emulators also . I apprciate if someone can suggest something else if this isnt what I should get . Thank you

  • Model: MPC2
  • USFF - Ultra small form factor case
  • 8GB Ram (2x4GB)
  • 64-bit cpu

Dolphin should be fine on that setup with the exception of the most demanding Wii games.

PCSX2 will REALLY depend on what game you're looking to play. Expect something very demanding like Midnight Club 3 and Gran Turismo 4 to struggle like hell.

PS2 is most demanding of all emu

your gpu should be able handle it with a few tweaks (it played perfectly fine on my i5 2500)

but with no gpu , it couldnt really play anything well. recommend at least a gtx450 grade for native lowest setting for ps2
