Ingame: You can get through menus, intro cutscenes / videos, and see ingame graphics, but either due to graphical bugs, crashes, un-resolved errors, you can't play through the entire game. Menus: You can get into the menus, be it past 3D / video intro, memcard checks etc, but when starting a new game, it will lock up, crash, enter a loop etc. Jul 03, 2013  So I recently got the PCSX2 emulator for my laptop. I downloaded the game star wars battlefront 2 as my first. The menu works fine, but the games are extremely slow. Movements, gunshots and sounds are in slowmotion. The guns shoot like half the normal speed and voices are slow and garbled. Also most of the map doesn't load in at a time.

I have pcsx2 1.0.0 on my computer i have windows 7 professional i run naruto shippuden ultimate ninja 5 on my pcsx2 1.0.0 and after the opening the emulator freeze that happens in all games i tried to skip the opening but it freez i have (2 gb ram) and (3 gb processor) and (direct x 10) what should i do to stop the freezing. The PlayStation 2 or commonly known as the PS2. Was a home entertainment video game console by Sony Computer Entertainment. PCSX2 is the best ps2 emulator for pc Thus, you must know about the fastest setting for pcsx2 right now! Feb 05, 2013  Hi! So I've downloaded PCSX2 both version 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 and tried every single configuration I could find on YouTube and Google, but I just cant get it to run on 60FPS on my PC:/ I tried both Sly 2 and 3, and I even found a video on YouTube where he showed his configuration and then running Sly 2 on 60FPS and I think his specs were worse than mine:S. The native resolution varies from game to game (many run at less than 640x480, the PS2's ideal res) so you'll get a different resolution with the same multiplier from game to game, but 4x almost always ends up larger than 1080p. For FF12, 4x will render the game at 2048x1792. With today's computers you don't need to use PCSX2's speed hacks. The default settings are fine for most people. Maybe if you're on a Windows tablet or a budget laptop, you'd need to make use of the speed hacks if you find that games are running slow. PCSX2 makes adjusting game performance very easy with a simple slider.

  • How do I optimize PCSX2's performance? 3 answers

I've been wanting to play some old games using PCSX2 (PS2 Emulator) but every time I load the games up, I get massive frame drops. I get around 13 frames in game, but cut scenes I get full frames (30-60).

The games I'm testing are Area 51 and Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty

I've researched and tested a few things but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what could cause this?

My specs for my computer are:

  • AMD Athlon 7850 Dual-Core Processor (2.8 GHz)
  • ATI Radeon HD 4650
  • 4 GB DDR2 RAM

Pcsx2 Slow Game Speed

While your video card is older, I know I was able to run PCSX2 on a similar generation Nvidia card 5 years ago. It's not time to give up hope yet.

Running

1) IIRC, PCSX2 comes with 2 binaries that look roughly identical. Try both to see if one works better than the other. I had significant problems with one, but the other worked smoothly on my old setup.

2) Emulation is notoriously finicky, and one configuration tweak might save you. Go through the configuration guide and see if you can adjust your settings to match your slightly outdated hardware.

Make sure you're running in Hardware Direct X mode. This is in the graphics plugin settings somewhere. I was getting 10~ FPS in Dark Cloud 2 in software mode at naitive res, now I get solid 60 in 1080p. There are various graphics settings to mess with and it all depends on your hardware, the game and how it interacts with those settings, but Software DX seemed to be on by default and it's a surefire way to ruin performance in 3D games.

You might use an overclocking tool like MSI Afterburner, it's really easy to use and very effective.
