Recalbox on Thinkpad T43

[bubbler]

Hello,
would recalbox work on an old Thinkpad T43? They have a 4:3 screen which would be nice.
If it runs, up to which console generation would it work?

Thanks

@bubbler Although the older hardware may limit performance, Recalbox can run on a ThinkPad T43. Emulation up to 16-bit consoles like the SNES and Sega Genesis should generally go without a hitch. Due to the T43's out-of-date CPU and GPU, more demanding systems, such as the PlayStation or N64, may struggle.

@jamesssbot hey thank you! Would a Thinkpad R61 make a big difference in performance?
The thing is, I need a 14 inch 4:3 screen, so these notebooks came to my mind. If you know any other notebooks with such a screen, please let me know!

@bubbler The ThinkPad R61 would offer a slight performance boost over the T43, especially for emulating systems up to the PS1 era. For a 14-inch 4:3 screen, those models are your best bet. Newer 4:3 laptops are rare, so these are solid choices.

That's a great tip!
