Low-end PCSX2 v1.0.0 - v1.3.0 settings
#1
Read this about 1.3.1 Git builds

1.5.0+ gsdx settings added, replaced old version for new structure change

just to note: settings work up to current SVN (1.3.0)

UPDATE:

I will make this clear for EVERYONE. These settings are based on an E2200 2.2Ghz. I now own a 3.3Ghz i3 This is the last time I am using the E2200, but this is the best I can do right now. AFTER 1.0.0 if someone needs help they can ask me in PM, I have much experience with PCSX2, and I will try to assist. THIS THREAD is for 1.0.0

stop pming me about 1.0.0 that is what this is for


(sorry refraction, bositman and other admins/mods. I needed to make this visible and clearly unmissable)

ok, so it's about time I got to doing this..

As I have a new PC that is MUCH faster now, this is the last set I'm going to be doing, I hope these have benefited those who use it and someone continues this for everyone else (anyone still needing assistance can of course ask, I will still help as best I can)

to use native resolution set "upscale_multiplier" to 1

I am providing no DX9 settings, it's just a render change.
Also, if games are running slow still, change "nativeres" to 0

these are pretty much plug and play, just be sure you change the location to your own directory.

Hey, how do you do this when running on DirectX9? I am running Vista, but whenever I try to use Direct10 (i dont have 11 yet), it says that there are no drivers which is weird since I am using Vista.

Can you please send me a PM about this.

Hi Saiki,
I think I really need your help. While reading here in the forums, I stumbled upon your sig saying "Before 2.4 dual?", and that is apparently why I'm here.So, here goes.. My PC isn't really below 2.4 dual but it's 2.5 dual, which is really close. And what makes me think I need to follow this guide is bec. my GPU is integrated, so it's like a drawback. Now I would like to play Kingdom Hearts but I'm not sure if it will work at a reasonable speed. I don't know much about the configuration and my integrated GPU is making it harder for me to configure. PLEASE help me I really want to play it. It's okay if the graphics wouldn't be that good, I just want to play it at good speed. So here are my PC specs:

OS: Windows7 Ultimate (32-bit)
Processor: Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.5Ghz
Memory: 2GB RAM
Display: NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i
Reso: 1600 x 900 (32 bit) (60 Hz)

So will it be good if use your INIs here? I believe you're an expert about these things. I'm really counting on you. Many thanks! Please reply.

yes, it will be fine, but change the renderer in the GUI for gsdx.

also, won't be pretty, but I recommend using non-native as the 7100 can't handle native for some reason

Yay!!! Thank you so much!!! So what will I change inthe renderer and how do I use non-native? Also, I'm not so sure if I can use DX11 bec. before I just ise D3D9 (or something like that) with 0.9.8. but when I enter Dxdiag ot says DX11. So I just replace it eith my PC Username and put it inside PCSX2 folder? Sorry for asking too much. THANKS!!!

just uncheck "native" in the ui

or set nativeres to 0 instead of 1

I just updated to the newest drivers and changed the .ini's to your low spec set up. The problem is still there though, text is still either not there or a garbled mess.
