[JoshnRay]

ive gotten everything to work up to i get in game and then my fps go all the way down to like 3 or 5, when it does the menus in like 20 to 40 fps :mad:

Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2
Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz 3.00GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
card is NVIDIA GeForce 7300LE

this is my pc and i still dont kno if i have the config all the way down but i still have the same plugins that came with the emu
ive tryed 3 games so far
Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition
Resident Evil 4
Sonic Mega Collection

all really slow when it goes into game play, sound messed up too but i dont think u can fix that

Plugins? Do you have Mtgs on? have you tried frameskip? Othere things we need to know.

[JoshnRay]

Graphics - GSdx9 (MSVC 14.00) 0.9.0
windowed - Direct 3D - pixle shader 2.0 - linear texture filtering is on

Sound - P.E.OpS. SPU2 DSound Driver 1.6.0
at the fastest settings
ive had MTGS on and dual core mode on at the same time but i didnt see much of a diff. but when i took MTGS off i saw the menus wroked better but the game play was still messed
ive tryed frame skip and it didnt do much

am i doing sumthing wrong? do u have ur games up and runnig, if so like tell me how u have urs set up and ill try mine like that, cuz i have them running good till the actual game comes in... :(

Use ZeroGS and enable DC and MTGS,they will work properly then

[JoshnRay]

it helped it out more for RE 4 than Devil May Cry, but after skiping the vids in RE4 the fps went right back down to 2.5 - 3 idk wuts goin on with it, but ty for the reply

[StriderVM]

Your computer is too slow for most PS2 games to run in a good speed for your CPU. In that processor, only MTGS will work.

[JoshnRay]

so are u telling me i can run FEAR Oblivion and Black and White 2 with high or mediem settings but i cant run a ps2 emu, there has got to be sumthing i can do with this to get it to work, plz help

[jief]

Would you be able to work in china only with an english-chinese dictionary?
Thats what you are asking your computer to do.
This is still a work in progress so you cant expect everything to run perfectly at full speed. If that is what you are after, play on your ps2 or even play the game you mentioned.

You shouldn't be that mad dude, i'm playing FFX with like 15-30 FPS and i still like it, but 5 Fps is a little weird for your cpu which is dual core, you should be getting at least 20 fps, and your graphic card SUCKS (maybe thats why).

[JoshnRay]

well im not trying to get it perfect i just wanna be able to play it because ive seen the vids on the site were ppl play there games on emulation, and i kno i can get it to work but if my cpu cant hadle it *which i dont kno y:(* then i guess il just give up

[kch0pa]

normally the videos are boosted to 60 FPS, but could you please try to do this:
1. Use ZeroGS with worst quality.
2. Enable all options from the cpu menu, use VU Skip.
3. Post your results.

[jief]

you are aware that the video trailer on pcsx2.net is not actually how the game really plays? They have been speeded up for the video...

[JoshnRay]

ok ty for the post jief and kch0pa, well i did wut u said i config the ZeroGS and made sure that nuthin was click/no boxes were filled and i changed the frameskip to VU skip, and the menus are still ok but when the game comes to play, it says there are more frames but the game skips so bad i can barly do anything, well i think i might be doin sumthin wrong if that should have worked, plz keep tryin to help

[kch0pa]

Try to disable frame skip, and check ALL boxes on CPU config menu.

[JoshnRay]

how do i disable them? all there are is 4 options, well is there a way to get the vids and or sounds to work right? and ive made sure i checked all the boxes in the cpu cinfig menu, do u think it might be my game iso also? my cpu should be able to run it at least to were i can play it right?

[kch0pa]

Set frame skip to none, and yes, it should be playable

[JoshnRay]

u see i dont kno how to do that lol, all that i can think of is setting it to normal but that dont do it, i just dont know were to turn it off completly could u tell me were plz

I have an older video card (ATI x300 on a laptop). I found similar results as you (i.e. even the ps2 configuration - I have yet to rip any of my games to my laptop - ran extremely slow with the ZeroGS 0.96.0 on lowest settings) I was getting about 10 fps or less. Then I switched the Graphics plugin to GSDX9 (MSVC 14.00, sse2) 0.9.0. The plugin is available with the latest release.
Configure this plugin as follows: Windowed, Direct3d, Pixel shader x.x
I have up to pixel shader 2.0, but setting it to pixel shader 1.4 increased the FPS in the playstation configuration from ~10 fps to 30 fps, without reducing the quality too badly.
My specs are: Pentium M 760 2.00 GHz, 1 GB DDR2 Ram, 80 GB 5400 rpm hdd,
I managed to increase my fps from about the 10 mentioned above to 40 (~65% full) by doing what I described above, as well as setting the process to Realtime, and high (in the XP task manager and Run --> Process Priority --> high respectively) and also using ATItool to overclock my video card. I believe it can also OC nvidia cards. I increased Core/Memory from 300 MHz/216 MHz to 410 MHz/310 MHz. Anyways hope that helps.
