This thing has trouble running anything made past like 2012 and the newer emulators out there totally bust it. I tried recently running citra and it could barely hit 30%. Would switching over to linux lighten the load on the cpu and free it up so I could run more demanding games?

Also how is linux for emulation and gaming in general?

    No, unfortunately your clock speed is too slow for Citra and most modern emulators.

    Oh, okay sadness I still gotta test out pcsx2. But citra, ps3, are a no-go on this rig. I can run anything PSP and below though okay.

      RPCS3 reqs are serious, I can't even run it well on my desktop.

      Your CPU meets the minimum single thread req for pcsx2 so I think it should work (possibly with tweaking).

      How does Dolphin run? You can try the ishiiruka fork which is performance focused

        Sounds promising!

        I'd have to give it a shot.
