Minimum System Specs?

Post by Fiery_Danny » Mon Sep 21, 2020 8:42 pm

I am looking at the home page and it says "A fairly recent multi-core CPU is recommended." What does that really mean? Will an i5 running windows 10 suffice or do I need something that hits harder? Looking to order, but want to make sure that this will work well before I place an order.
Thanks!

That was written about 8 years ago, so ... pretty much anything today should be good.

I should probably clarify ...
It depends on what you're doing with it. The capture / display stuff isn't very demanding. If you're planning on doing live streaming type stuff with it, that's your bottleneck. If you know your computer can handle that, you should be fine.

I am mainly looking to just capture/display, basically just to play the system on a TV, so it sounds like I should be good.

Unrelated to original post, do you offer (minor) repair services as well? My L and R buttons have gone wonky with one never responding and another responding intermittently. Might just be a cleaning issue, might be bad trigger switches.

I can take a look at it. Just write a note with the 3DS to remind me about it.

I'm playing on an 11 year old laptop with an i5 processor. Runs smoothly for me as I'm only wanting to play on the TV.
