360 controller causing slowdown
#1
As the title says, when I play with a 360 controller, the emulator says I am getting 50-60 fps in various games (KH 1 and 2, God of War 1), but it plays very slow and looks like frames are skipping, and the audio is skipping. When I unplug the controller and use my keyboard, it runs very smooth and fast. I am using PCSX2 9.6.0 (however the same thing happens in the newest beta as well).

Here are my specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
8 gb DDR2 Ram
1 gb nVidia GeForce 120 (with latest drivers)
Intel Core 2 Quad
DirectX 10

Here are my settings: (Everything I'm using was included with the emulator)
Gsdx (SSSE3) - Direct3D10 Hardware, Native Resolution, No Interlacing, 4:3
SPU2-X - All default settings
Lilypad - Using 360 controller
Linuz ISO - All my games are in iso format
Bios - USA 2004 bios.

I would assume the other categories do not matter to simply play games.
Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance.

I really don't like playing games with a keyboard, and I simply don't understand how a controller is causing slowdown. It did this once when I played Fallout 3 as well, but its only done that once.

if you're playing on a keyboard the emulator runs at full speed?

Intel Core 2 Quad----what speed???

we lacking info a little about your CPU on what model of the C2Q and speed
and that video card is not quite strong it's a DDR2 video card....a GF 150 GTS or GF 250 GTS could be better as a GDDR3 video card.
in addition w/ Vista try disable windows aero(Control Panel-->[Switch to Classic view(upper left)]--->System--->Advanced settings[Upper Left]--->in performance category click "Settings"--->highlight the radio button "Adjust for best performance"

well i'm getting a fast reply now that your main topic title has changed all a sudden.
and i'm sorry i can't analyse what reason of the 360 controller knock down your framerate.
could be the controller plug-in...did you try the SSXPAD plug-in??
