Intel I7 920 @ 4GHz with Hyperthreading (8 cores)
ATI Radeon 4870 1GB
6GB RAM Windows 7
20-25 games for any system.

It's only with quad cores do the numbers jump out, this is because the video thread takes a fair chunk on most modern video cards (meaning if you're dual core one of them will be used a lot for that). That's a special build to run 20+ though. :D Soon maybe the public could enjoy it. :play:

Over the coming versions I hope to implement some features that could allow you to have that many, provided you have enough a certain resource!

Heh, I won't be using that feature anytime soon. Although I may set it to three.

[No double quotes?]


Any plans for implementing AMD Stream and Nvidia CUDA?

Probably. At the moment I'm not interested in taking the C++ cores and doing something like CUDA with them, when compilers get good enough that you can use standards compliant C++ on them then yes.

I may have a private play with it at some time though as I like working with new technology.

Hmm strange...

But if i run 1 game for Mega Drive, 2 games for NES, 1 game for SMS, 1 game for Game Gear and all run very good :)

Hmm I would think that should be able to run it fine, is hyper threading enabled on it? If not I would enable it. The next version has SSE2 enabled and other speedups that you could enable so you should be able to get fullspeed.

You really need to get a multi core CPU though to take advantage of RetroCopy as it offloads work into multiple threads. Windows can't handle doing this on single core CPUs too well.

I'll have see if the optimizations allow me to run any more games at once.
