    Hello everyone,

    at the moment I plan to upgrade my 6 years old htpc with new Hardware for emulation. For the old system I miss drivers for Win10, so the system runs unstable.

    But I can't find a summary about Emulators. For what video game systems exists runnable emulators and what about the hardware specifications. I know some old systems like the SNES a raspberry is enough. But what about the newer generations?

    Does anybody know a summary.

    Bye

    raspberry pi 2 I believe will do PSX and N64, as well as anything older.

    Emulators exist for pretty much every system. Emulators dont generally have defined hardware requirements.

    Don't have a proper summary but as an idea:

    "Next-Gen" - Xbox One, PS4, (N)3DS, WiiU - generally unplayable
    "Last-Gen" - Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 - a few emulators floating around. Probably want a more current system, minimum of 2GB of dedicated graphics, and a multi-core processor. Wii is the only system with a stable emulator (Dolphin).
    NDS - pretty much playable on any system.
    Anything below can be played easily on any system built in the past 5 years or so probably.
