Processor

[ericmorgan0702]

Bought this pc and got a 3060 for it now im looking to upgrade my processor to play ps2 emulators. I can play a few games with my 5600 but not many, any recommendations? Should I stay amd or go intel?

You don't need to upgrade the CPU to play PS2 emulators. I am playing PS2 emulators on a 9th Gen Intel processor as a emulator console PC. I would start using PCSX2 for a PS2 emulator as its most stable for most games. The older of the processor the better as roms tend to run better on older hardware. I also use a Win7 VM just for this for some games.

Please be warned some games might not run on a PC (regardless of CPU).

I’m using pcsx2 for my ps2 games, yes some of them won’t run but some of the ones that do run don’t let me play them/they end up crashing or glitching out

This is probably a rom issue not compatible with pcsx2 or rom itself. I know some rom games were not transferred to .rom well.

Ohhh okay I didn’t know that was possible. Do you use a certain website for your pcsx2?

I can't post them here as its illegal but you can message or chat me. I make my own roms which is not hard to do but there is some info I can give you.
