I always been shocked how this emulator uses next to nothing for resources
After monitoring the resource usage of the emulator for a while now. I believe its safe to say it can be used on PC's that are 10 years old. I believe the max amount of RAM I seen it used is like 320MB. Only seen this once. So it is VERY rare. Average I would say is 200-250mb of RAM CPU usage is like at 5-6% on average. Now if you have the graphics cranked on to max possible for everything then it will use your GPU the most. Testing this out on big full 3D games such as KH, Parasite Eve among others. They all yield the same results for resource usage. The rendering resolution is what s the GPU hog here At 10x it uses 32-34% on my GPU. At 1x it maybe uses .5%. Its so low MSI Afterbuner says its at 0%. So that's why I say maybe .5%.

This emulator is so well optimized and so well done its amazing. Even Desume (NDS emulator) I seen it use 3 cores off my system. Its crazy.

System specs for reference

I5 3570 4.2ghz
8gb DDR3
2GB 6950
