What would the specs of a PC that is made for GameCube emulation look like?

 

Obviously other consoles would be emulated like super Nintendo, N64, Sega Genesis, but the most demanding emulator would be a GameCube emulator.

 

I've been thinking about starting up a project like this soon, what would be ideal hardware specs look like?

For retro emulation, you probably wouldn't need much more than probably a Ryzen 5 APU. Those aren't terribly graphically demanding, they'll run on a Raspberry Pi.

I'll recommend a ryzen 3 2200g. It should be plenty for running those emulated games.
