does my spec enough to play MGS 3?

[animaXion]

my specs are

Intel Core 2 Duo
VGA Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT (get's to 72 celcius last time using PCSX2)
RAM of 1 GB DDR2 (running XP as the OS)

okay what else i need to tell you guys...

anyway i already tried same speedhacks, using the 3.0 pixel shader, enabling the hardware render and such, but why i still get only 35 fps at some wide or full-grown-trees area? (the graphic isn't a problem though, only the fps)

Weak gpu.
What's your CPu frequency ?

Try latest gsdx & pcsx2 betas.

i've tried latest gsdx and pcsx2 betas and i get that result
err how do i look to CPU frequency?

btw are you sure 9400 GT is weak? since i don't really think it is as weak as you thought

Hold down the Windows key and press Pause/Break to bring up your system properties page. You'll see your CPU frequency there.

The 9400GT is weak. It's better than anything Intel has to offer though. A 9600GT would take you a lot futher.

MGS3 runs pretty poorly compared to other games even on better hardware and exhibits some strange texturing issues, so poor performance is pretty normal. :/

sigh, even it's 3.0 pixel shader doesn't really help then..
i know 9600 GT is a lot better than 9400 GT, but what can i say, i can't afford it since i'm just a high school student...

well which one is CPU frequency? i still don't really get it

Intel(R) Core(TM)2DUO CPU
E7400 @ 2.80GHz
2.79 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM


ahahaha maybe i should get an MGS 3 PC rather to play the emu, since MGS 2 PC work smoothly on my PC

There's no MGS3 PC.

Anyway, CPU is also quite important to PCSX2. If your temps are low enough, you can try overclocking that processor to the 3Ghz range. It can still improve performance.

Enabling Dual Core options as well as speedhacks could also help with the speeds.

What is the temperature that can be called 'hot' and 'danger' level?

I looked at Intel's specs for Core 2 Duos once and according to them the maximum temperature, well thermal specification was what they called it, was like 100 degrees C which I find

Just to be safe I wouldn't run any CPU above 70 degrees.
