I've got a 1st gen intel iMac 2ghz, 4gig ram with an x1600 256meg card in it. Nearly any game I play on my computer is on the windows side via boot camp and I have great success.
I've set up ePCXe and it flies on max settings.
I've set up PCSX2 and windows and have only tested out FFXII. Using basic settings, I get 60+ frames per second during movies, 45-50 consistently running around doing stuff, but the slowdown to 25-30 frames per second during cut scenes is really annoying and pretty much unbearable considering how often they happen. I've messed around with settings and fluctuations are minimal, unless I start putting on the high end or maximum settings.
I prefer to use the pc side for games because of the support and dedication typically is much better than the mac for project software like this. I just installed the Mac version hoping there would be improvement in performance, but haven't used it yet.
Am I going to see any better performance or am I just wasting my time with the Mac version? Also, is what I'm seeing now, pretty much what I'm going to get?
