EDIT: BRAIN FART, it's an i3, not an i5!
Can you do emulation on a budget gaming PC? Well… yeah, obviously you CAN. But what KIND of emulation can you do? Can you do ps2? Or ps3? or xbox 360? Or gamecube? Or wii? Or wiiu? Or that popular handheld gaming device? Well yes... but watch the video anyways!

Also, @TechDweeb for those of us new to emulation, can you please go over the emulators themselves? Split into several categories. Like more mature emulation software, and newer software just up and coming onto the scene, and by generation and which emulators are better for which console and why? I would love to learn more about emulation, and I am overwhelmed with options.

Mr. Dweeb! PS3 Games are absolutely playable on your niece’s 9th Gen i5! Skate is one of the hardest games to emulate. You also need the latest build that updates nightly. Street Fighter 4 runs amazing! The Rayman Series. Castlevania games. All run anmazing. And you used Open GL when Vulcan works so much better! I can emulate all of these games at 60fps during gameplay with an i5 6500. Some cut scenes are choppy and too much for the 6th gen i5. Do a deeper video on RPCS3! It’s amazing!

(pro tip guys) anyways, Why can't we see a fully functional GUI setup like other console emulators, just made to look like Norton Commander?

@@TechDweeb Two words : D-Fend Reloaded. It's a front end for DOSBOX and while it's not 100% "done for you," (was DOS ever?) it has templates and individual configs and makes the whole thing a LOT easier to configure. It even supports different builds of DOSBOX, for those who want to mess with that; some builds have 3Dfx support, and it supports ScummVM as well. I have all of my DOS games in a folder, with subfolders, and it mounts that main folder, goes to the game's subfolder, and sets up the emulation parameters - processor speed, RAM, video type, sound card, joysticks, etc., and you can tweak that if needed. It maintains config files for each game, independently configurable - and yeah, eventually, off to the races... I even have Mechwarrior 2 running with CD audio from an image file, running better than it ever did on a Pentium. It's pretty sweet. The sad part about this project is that it hasn't been updated in nearly 8 years, but the last version (1.4.4) seems to work fine... Maybe you can grace us with a production about D-Fend Reloaded, IDK.

Right click taskbar to 'unlock' it, then you can move the new toolbar to the other side of the taskbar (the top, as I have it). Then right click the toolbar, go to view > large icons, then right click again and uncheck "show text" and "show title". You can also create a 2nd toolbar with small icons. That's what I do on my main rig, 4-6 large icons with 9 small icons below, for all my most used programs.

I've done this. Emulation wise, its good for up to PS2 and most PSP at 1x resolution. PS3, and Xbox is out of the question unless you want to play them at half or a third of the frame rate running on native hardware. Minecraft will work great though on the Windows Store version, you may have to turn down the render distanced a bit compared to the Java version of Minecraft. Disclaimer: this was about 3 years ago so modern versions of those programs may run better or worse depending on including new features and optimizations.
