Which Emulator (PC) to pick?

[OpenWine]

I wanna play The Urbz Sims in the city. since there is no PC port I'll have to install either an PS2/Xbox/Gamecube emulator.

will my Xbox360 controller work as a controller for the gamecube or ps2 version? I hope so

I am aiming for smooth gameplay and low failure rate of the programm. I heard gamecube has the best emulation on PC.

Xbox

PS2

Gamecube

For me ps2 never failed me.
Also u can burn a dvd and get old ps2 used for very cheap of u want to go retro :)

Can find any game iso online and burn it on dvd.

by the way the emulator for ps2 works with almost any controller

I tested xbox360, nvidia shield controller, ps3, ps4. And generic USB controller all worked.

Gamecube has the best emulation but the worst graphical integrity. Since your aim is set on Smooth Gameplay & Low Failure Rate of the Program, go with the GC emulator.

Dolphin will serve you well.

how about the ps2 one? I heard only xbox one has problems and can't emulate properly. and what do you mean by graphical part?

[KantStop]

The PS2 is harder to emulate than the gamecube believe it or not.

The gamecube has the least amount of processing power which equals the least amount of true graphical fidelity. (How good the game Could look, is limited by the processing power of the gamecube). Though since this is so, it is also the easiest to emulate on a computer because of its simplicity/low graphical fidelity in the first place.

I am trying to get Dolphin running but there is a missing dll and I'm having trouble installing the C++ file. maybe if I download ps2 I may bypass this issue?

[KantStop]

You'll possibly face the same issue as Visual C++ is a necessity in running any C++ based program. The redistributable is usually added within game files to allow for its installation.

Apparently I can't link anything as a level 1, so google, "Visual C++ Redistributable."

I'll try upgrading to windows 10.. trying for a while already and I feel like upgrading may give me the needed library files for the app

Gamecube emu works good.
Get Dolphin.

I tried PS2 one, and it's good as well.

never tried the xbox360, I might get that one and finally play Gears of War 2.
