Note: In PPSSPP emulator games vary considerably in their system requirements. On this particular PC some games can be enjoyed at 60 FPS and some can barely get to 6 FPS.

(PSP emulator) is a great low-spec gaming option on a laptop or our fanless mini-PC from 2010 with a laptop processor (C2D T9400 @ 2.53 GHz) and 4GB of DDR2 SODIM (laptop) RAM @800MHz. We are using the T9400's integrated graphics (Intel GM45 a.k.a. GMA x4500 MHD) from around 2009. Do not confuse this with the Intel HD4000 or HD4600 which came with 3rd and 4th gen i-cores in 2013-14.

This little 12 year old machine can still run up-to-date 64-bit Windows 10 or Linux (in this case Linux Mint 20 XFCE), AND...it can play some great old games. We can explain why in 7 words:

2 CORES 4 GB DUAL CHANNEL MEMORY !!!

This is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM for a PC to remain practical and useful in 2022, and the CPU core speed should preferably be 3GHz and above. For a laptop chip however, especially one with passive cooling, the 2.53GHz T9400 is really good.

We are running off a mechanical 320GB 2.5-inch (laptop) hard disk. An SSD would boost performance of this system noticeably.
