Hello hello. I had a few questions that I couldn't find information for searching the forums and the net, so I decided to come here and ask directly.
I have been using PCSX2 on my desktop where it has run perfectly (E8400 cpu and 9600GT vid card). My questions, however, concern my new laptop. I assumed that it wouldn't run perfectly (it runs okay), but I was wondering if there were things I could do to improve performance.
Here are my laptop specs:
i7 3610QM
8GB Memory
Geforce 630M video
Windows 7
My job involves lots of travel, and since lugging around a ps2 isn't very practical, I was hoping to use this laptop to play Dragon Quest VIII. Currently I have gotten pretty decent performance out if it using 0.9.6 (because that one has VU Skip settings), getting full speed in most places (slows down a bit in towns). Using 0.9.8 is much slower, oddly enough, so I wanted to know what I could do to speed it up. Here are my questions:
1) Does 0.9.8 do any auto frameskipping? If so, how do I access those settings? 0.9.6's VU Skip was a great setting, and I was a bit surprised to not see it.
2) Would I get speedups using different audio plugins?
3) Just to confirm: Can I use memory card files from a different version of PCSX2? (Incase I change versions or decide to use one of the 0.9.9 betas)
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks all.
