This reminds me of when the emulation scene originally emerged in the 90s and a lot of people were still running 486 CPUs. Although they're mostly forgotten now due to other emulators surpassing them in features and compatibility, at the time the more heavily optimized emulators like NESA and NLKSNES were kind of a big deal if you couldn't afford to upgrade.

- soylentcola 6y agoDid it run on something that slow? I remember being amazed by the surprisingly decent performance on my Pentium-based PC but it was like a 233 or 266MHz chip if I recall. Either way, it was great because I was a young guy without much disposable income and while my previous roommate had a Playstation, I lost access to it when we moved. I still had a handful of games and I could continue playing them on my janky PC.
- Grazester 6y agoYou must be remember wrong. I had a 233mhz computer and Tekken 3 was so slow I could not play it. Then again I didn't have a 3d card.
