Is this not enough? (General lag)

[iakoboss7]

you actually are wrong, sp3 supports what sp2 does and even more (most new programs need sp3 to even get installed)

[roz]

oh ic...but is there a problems SP2 or SP3 for playing PSCX2?

[jesalvein]

both should be ok, but upgrade to SP3, just in case...

[roz]

Try checking the "native" option in GSdx or using a (Software) renderer, might give you better speed.

Activate frameskip by pressing shift+F4 while playing, could help too and maybe you just didn't activate it before.

The software renderer definitely made things look better but things ran slower too. Pressing shift+F4 helped A LOT. The cut scenes are still very laggy but overall it's a lot easier to play. If I OC'd my cpu slightly I'd probably make it closer to 60 fps in game (I'm getting anywhere from 40-60 when there isn't a cut scene going on)

Thanks!
