The reason I was looking forward to a PC port is the controls. I tried RE4 on the Gamecube, and I couldn't deal with the control scheme. Seemed a mouse + keyboard would be much more manageable.

The guy who said that is full of BS. I ran FFX North American version (and beat it) on my system (see rig) at an average of maybe 75 FPS on average with frame limit disabled and all image enhancements turned off (AA and Bilinear). It would peak up to 100+ at times but those are parts with very little demand.

For those wondering about the bios, you can download PS2 bioses.

PCSX2 has no problems running most games on my older machine (AX2 4400+ with 6800GT OC). The important factor is that you get the version (of the graphics module) that is optimized for a dual-core (or multi-core) system and use that optimization.

Also, as the other guy said, BIOS files aren't hard to come by .

Seems that a dual-core CPU is almost a requirement for anything resembling playable. Most other games and apps don't have much benefit yet, but damn now I'm pissed I didn't jump for a X2 a year ago. Seems the general consensus of a A64/Opteron single core around 2.4 Ghz is slow to reasonable. My 1.5 GB RAM and 7800GT should be fine since CPU seems the most important.

I may try it out, but I doubt any games I want to really play like RE4, God of War, or GT4 would be too intensive to be playable.

Slightly unrelated - the Sega Saturn emulator SSF works fantastic. Played a bunch of my favorite Saturn games without issue.

Last I tried the PS2 emulator it only worked so well. But, I have a modded PS2 until the emu gets up to speed!

 

[Dacalo]

Just for the hell of it, I gave the emulator a go. I popped in my RE4 DVD and tried to run it with dual core enabled. The game looks much cleaner but the game is slow as hell. This is under Vista with X2 4400 and 7800GTX.

 

[duragezic]

I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking into this since it would probably run too slow on mine, but it seems your rig, Dacalo, should run it sufficiently. Are you sure you have any dual core optimizations or plugins enabled? Also I read some people were missing the plugin or option enabled for the correct display driver. Or it could just be that it runs slowly in Vista ATM. If you have XP still I'd try it in that.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I believe I have exhausted my options at the moment. I have my 50' Samsung to play on anyways.

Resident Evil 4 came out in Asia and it is utter crap.
