They now also got a game running:

That's probably the PS3's "Bust a Move Deluxe" in terms of complexity

>a PS4 & Xbox One emulator will will be out quicker.. With more improvements than a PS3 & 360 emulator. Because the new gen consoles hardware is more similar to PC.

Similar ? They ARE PC. On the other hand, Xbox was a PC a decade ago, and 360 is also a PC, and there's still no emulator. Granted, there's like 4,5 exclusives worth having on original Xbox, but why would you need an actual emulator ? One would think, that a sort of executable patching of the original game iso would be enough. And there are issues like correctly emulating, what, GeForce4 i believe ? Still, hardly the same as deconstructing "black boxes" such as PS2 or GC. And yet...

In other words they don't know

[vnctdj]

Indeed, they don't know precisely but required specs will be high

[heiwasan]

You guys think it will run in this specs:
Core I5
4GB of RAM
Videocard of 1GB

I gess it has to low specs, but hope it works on it!

I don't think the graphics card will be good enough, (What is it exactly)
Take a look at TheDax's spec's on his PC, more like that or even better will be needed.

A PS3 emulator is not a PS2 emulator, but I think a factor 10 improvement is reasonable. But until the recompiler is done, there exists nothing that could play any commercial game at reasonable speed. And it should be repeated, this is talking about Disagea 3 which honestly looks like a PS2 game. For FF XIII or GTA 5? Nothing exists today that is fast enough, it would need to be yet another factor 10 faster than current consumer hardware I would say. Unless you do heavy hackery with multi GPU stuff that Alex was talking about. But this is very very far off, and inanely hard to do.

tl;dr, by the fastest hardware you can afford, probably spend extra on the CPU. But whatever you get, it will be outdated in several years when rpcs3 is even reasonable complete. Even though Disgaea 3 shows something, even a lot of simple homebrew doesn't yet.

To be honest, we really need a miracle for running GTA5 at decent speeds. But as you said, maybe high-end PCs of the current gen will be capable of running games like Disgaea, fl0w, some Sonic games and a lot of PSN stuff...

You can draw conclusions from these two posts.

And I5 is by no mean high end.

Eh, who cares about GTA5, it will be on PC anyway, which you know will be the definitive version, console GTA5 was slow and ugly.
Give me the ability to play Super Robot Taisen and all the PS3 Gundam games, and i will die happy.

+1...

What?

[vnctdj]

I just meant that I agree with you

I hope the PS3 emu will be successful just so i could play Tekken 6 on it
