Haha. Its not about the power. Its about the complexity of the emulation. PS2 is complex.hi, Thinkpad, forgive my asking and most probably ignorance. But isn't the Dreamcast is the same power as PS2, and if ED said, Pyra could run Dreamcast smooth, why couldn't with PS2?
The Dreamcast predates the ps2 by two years when gaming technology was making huge leaps.hi, Thinkpad, forgive my asking and most probably ignorance. But isn't the Dreamcast is the same power as PS2, and if ED said, Pyra could run Dreamcast smooth, why couldn't with PS2?
The PS2 was rather complex, with the main issue being the inter-chip timings and interactions. GameCube operated at a higher level, and so the graphics calls and such can be treated more abstractly and the emulator does not have to deal with as much of the hardware-level emulation. So, to work adequately, PS2 emulators would have to be much more accurate than a GC emulator. A GC emulator can take more "shortcuts." Or something along those lines. The technical details are well beyond my knowledge.thanks bro ekianjo for the explanation. Btw, is it due to Emotion Engine that is used on PS2 that makes it complex? And why also Gamecube is more simpler to emulate, their graphics in my eyes, are almost the same, and because of that, I'm assuming their complexity is more or less the same.
Sorry for ignorance once more
Probably not, but how is it asking for trouble? Most pocket computers that people carry now have them.Am I the only one who feels that having a vibrating motor in an expensive pocket PC is asking for trouble?

My desktop has less CPU power than OMAP5 and PS2 runs great since the last updates of PCSX2, do you mean, that the graphics unit on the SoC would be the stopper here?Haha. Its not about the power.

What CPU do you have? Most likely you have more power. x86 CPUs are much more powerful/Hz than Arm ones.And as far as I know large parts of PCSX2 are optimized x86 assembly which would be a lot of work to port to arm.My desktop has less CPU power than OMAP5 and PS2 runs great since the last updates of PCSX2, do you mean, that the graphics unit on the SoC would be the stopper here?
