Guys, Hi! I have the original PS2 SLim but i want to play in my pc too!

Anyway, i bought the IZJS in ebay and patched to english and made an iso!
It works awesome but some times, the fps drops to 56~~ which is almost unoticeable EXCEPT, the audio , because when it goes to 56, the audio starts to slowdown/ or make some weird noise, then it comes back to normal... its annoying actually.

My Pc Config :
Radeon 6850 XFX
8 GB DDR3
Phenom II X4 955
500 GB SATA III

Can anyone help me please?


Here are the logs, i tried changing to d9 hardware -> d11 hardware but its still the same! speedhacks arent working either, it makes the game even slower!

What can i do ?


Here are the log:

Try using the latest SVN:
http://pcsx2.net/svn.php Should give you some better average speed and hopefully make those small slowdowns vanish.

you could think about disabling cool n' quiet, too.

They are still happening, even at d9 or d11.... it reaches 53 ~~ 56 -> 62 fps

gonna try that, but i doubt it will help

Ah I know what the problem is, you are running it off the disc and FFXII does heavy thrashing when loading cutscenes etc. Make an ISO if your disc using imgburn and it will go away

A recent revision with the MTVU hack enable to take advantage of your quad core should resolve this issue.

Sorry for the delay... Let me bring the good news and bad news....

After You guys helped me, i decided to :
Instead of letting the emulator open the ISO, i should put the iso in MAGICDISC. Well, it improved the lag, but, when i reach giza plains tribe, it gets extremely lag, like 40 FPS and EE reachs +80% ~~
IF i activate all speed hacks to maximum, FPS stabilizes at 60 but it still lags ... Maybe something wrong with my radeon card? Incompatible? Anyway, DX11 or DX9 , it doesnt matter, still lags..


Im going to try shutdown Catalyst and see if it improves... But i still need help! Thanks for reading!

Well, sorry for the double post.

I just shutdown all Catalyst Process and... It still lags... FPS keeps at 60~~ but its in a "slow Down" mode.... im going put the config of the emulator back to the default.

Im going to see if theres any update for my card as well, but im kinda worried it wont help!


I dont know what to do

It has nothing to do with Catalyst and also never put all the speedhacks on maximum, cause the 60 fps u see is a false reading Also don't use a Virtual Drive to load the ISO in and then use that in the Emulator. Just use the build in ISO Reader CDVD -> ISO -> Iso Selector -> Browse

Like Ph34rme already said download one of the SVNs and enable the MTVU hack under Speedhacks, since you're using a quadcore you would benefit from it. You can get the latest SVN from: http://pcsx2.net/svn.php. Also the latest version has some FFXII Hacks and they're quite busy with it. Dunno exactly what the hack does, but it is always worth the try imo.

Is there anyway i can have this new SVN without losing all my controller/memory card configs? it makes me mad to re-config everything again....
