Please post your real system specs.
Best would be to run a DXDiag diagnosis and post the upper part - listing your specs and hardware.

START button - run - type >dxdiag< and work through the tabs/follow the instructions.
Safe the results to a text file on your deskzop and copy the upper part into your next posting.

Well, I was going to look up the specs of that CPU/GPU as I saw it was a Celeron, but I haven't found the time so far. I guess you are onto something there...

But I think the vanilla SH3 SHOULD start, it doesn't need so much RAM / VRAM, if it is playable, that's another question.

Edit:

Intel Celeron N2820

Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail)

It's on the same level as ATOM. Well, it COULD start... But playable?
