More testing is still needed, especially for old PCs.

Just chiming in to give my own 2 cents, but Waifu2X can be resource intensive depending on the image resolution, so I would not recommend using machines that do not have the following specifications:

• Supported OS (Win10+)
• Supported GPU, this one is hard to quantify but looking at the page, an AMD R7-1700 and a GTX 1070 worked, so I believe anything that gives around the same level of performance would be acceptable. We would probably need to have some form of exception handling to handle cases where resource usage is too high, in which case, we would terminate the task and simply load the default image.
• A somewhat recent version of any drivers

I think that covers it?

As long as its toggleable between the current implementation (MagicScaler) and w2x I'm fine with it. Especially due to the nature of w2x

As for minimum specs, since the binary used is ncnn it just need Vulkan support, and if you can run hpyo games without any intervention it should be all ok. Tho a proper check if vulkan is available when toggling it on (like invoking vulkaninfo and just looking for the ERRORLEVEL shall do IMO).

Also do note that some AMD iGPU users like me suffers a driver degradation where any ncnn scaler will give a blank 0b output without the ncnn giving out error itself, so you might want to check if the output is a valid image and do a proper fallback when it doesn't

In fact, Collapse can only run on systems above Windows 10, so in most cases there is no need to consider system version compatibility issues.

For supported GPUs, I think this is already checked in native. For example, the Vulkan Loader (vulkan-1.dll) fails to load, or the Vulkan api returns an error code. This toggle is disabled when native library fails to load.

Also I will add some extra checks for black or corrupted image.

Tested and works great!
