Morning people! I've been thinking of getting a MBP 13' when the next revision comes out, which, I'd assume, will keep the Intel 3000 HD as its IGP. Because this GPU is relatively similar to the 320m, I assumed it'd have a similar performance all-around, including when emulating Playstation 2 games, with the PSCX2 software. I intend to have my future laptop do a lot of tasks, one of them being emulating PS2 gaming. However, after some research, it appears that that might not be true. While the data is scarce, I'd like to know what have been the experiences of Mac-users with their MBP 13', for those who emulate Playstation 2 on their laptops. I know that it works fine on the NVidea 320m (there's youtube proof of that); even on the MBA 13' 2010 it runs decently! Play retro games online in your browser! The best quality emulator online for GBA (Game Boy Advance), SNES (Super Nintendo), SEGA (Genesis & Mega Drive). PCSX2 a Playstation 2 emulator for Windows, Linux and Mac. ![]() (For the sake of discussion, let us assume there is no dedicated GPU coming on the MBP 13' revision.) Keep in mind I do not care if you resort to OS X, or Bootcamp Windows. I have no trouble Bootcamping if I ever need a specific software to be run, or performance to be achieved. What I'd like, however, to know, is how well the Intel HD 3000 has been treating you in this particular department! Cheers, Blues003. Click to expand.I'd think so too. While the data is scarce, however, it does not point that way. (OP mentions gaming is 'very laggy') (Not directly about a MBP, but about a laptop with Intel HD 3000; overall idea is that this IGP will stop him from playing 'many games') (same as above; notice how one user says the INtel HD 3000 is 'crap for PCSX2') I'd rather not rely on what Ivy Bridge might or might not deliver when making my decision to buy a laptop. Curious how a 2010 model will probably deliver better. Could be driver issues with the PS2 emulator. I remember when the PS1 emulator was fairly new and specific drivers had to be installed with your computer depending on what graphics card you had. I think I had an ATI Radeon 9200 or something like that. Really long time ago. Anyways, enough of my tangent. I would honestly see if there is a driver issue with the Intel HD 3000, and if there is, ask if they will update it to accomodate it. Otherwise, you might have to get a discrete graphics card.
