==Recommended Specifications==
;Before diving in:
*This list excludes inactive or unsupported emulators as much as possible, see [[History of emulation]] page for older software emulators. For seeing recommended specifications for obsolete, non-active and older emulators, see [https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php?title=Computer_specifications&diff=77290&oldid=77289#Recommended_Specifications this page].
*'''We discourage recommending outdated hardware[https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx][https://www.amd.com/en/support], operating systems, or [[Recommended_emulators|inactive emulators]]'''.
::Why? Because active and popular emulators such as Dolphin, Ryujinx, PCSX2 and others[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/ucit8l/ryujinx_will_officially_drop_support_for_windows/i6btthj/] implements newest frontends, API related stuff and functions from time to time such as "XAudio2 situation[https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/pull/15248][https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PCSX2#Windows_XP.2F7.2F8.1_Compatibility][https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/xaudio2/xaudio2-versions]", "using [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/hlk/testref/d82297bd-09ae-47d2-a40e-02977e6fd773 D3D12]", "[https://github.com/qt/qtbase qt6]" "[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/memoryapi/nf-memoryapi-virtualalloc2 VirtualAlloc2]", "[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/memoryapi/nf-memoryapi-mapviewoffile3 mapviewoffile3]" which usually depends on latest operating system versions (considering using binaries provided by official sources, not building software by yourself without some serious patching). There are even some interesting discussions happening recently about dropping SSE4 support from some of the emulators.[https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/11382]
*Provide only the official system requirements page URL if available (nothing else), but for emulators '''lacking detailed''' official information, we offer unofficial guidelines/data to help you decide.
*Also see [https://www.youtube.com/@natemasterson7274 Nate Masterson's YouTube channel] for benchmarks with emulators using obsolete hardware. [https://github.com/xemu-project/xemu/issues/1492#issuecomment-1646644783 Supported instruction sets for various chips].
