[louisex_davis]

i have a 1GB ram and a speed of 1.73GHz.yet the emulator gets only a speed of 10% when i start playing the game.i have checked everything about the graphics and its all working fine.i think the emulator is not using all the resources
properly.please help...

1) wrong section.

2) What emulator,if its pcsx2 ,then you are dreaming about getting good speed with that specs.

3) post your full specs and the name of the emulator & the game on the correct forum.

This thread should be in relevant emulator section,
you'll have to find it yourself since you never mentioned which one

Recommended:
4 - 5 Ghz machine
1024MB RAM
X1800 / Geforce 7800 GT

^= Someone please fix that to:

Minimum requirements:
None, but don't expect more than 5% of the speed most of the time.

Recommended requirements:
You can expect up to 50% of emulation speed with the following specs:
Dual-core or quad-core processor at 2.4GHz (doesn't really matter if it's dual or quad, just 2.4GHz will do)
512MB of RAM (more won't help)
nVidia GeForce FX or ATI Radeon 9 series (anything lower and you should consider buying a PS2 instead)
The rest doesn't matter.

Recommended requirement:
This will give you full speed sometimes:
Dual-core or quad-core processors at over 4.0GHz (AGAIN! QUAD OR DUAL DOES NOT MATTER!!
512MB of RAM (told ya more wouldn't help)
nVidia GeForce 8800 or above or GeForce 9600 or above or ATI Radeon HD 3850 or above.

And it's under the PCSX2 section in the home page. I think a lot of people still browse around there.

P.S.: And I think that'll prevent threads like this from being opened ever again. People just HAVE to realize the limits of their hardwares when it comes to emulating the PS2... and sadly, that's just not happening, and I don't think we've had anything officially told to them.
