My specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Home Basic Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit7
CPU: Intel® Core i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 710M
Memory: 8.0 GB
130GB Available drive space.
PCSX2 version is 1.4.0 (Maybe this isn't relevant, but whatever.)
This has been an insanely annoying issue ever since I got PCSX2.
So, games seems to run PERFECTLY once I start the emulator, but after 30~40mins, the fps will just start slowly dropping and dropping , to the point where the whole thing is unplayable.
I was playing Digimon World 4, and it's especially easy to notice on the Shop or Save Screens, since it's just text, there would be no reason for it to slow down, generally. But if I leave the game there and come back after, say, an hour, it'll be SO much slower. Like, 17-20FPS slow.
The exact same thing has happened with me while using Desmume as well. And it seems to be a pretty well-known problem.(At least it was in the google search results...)
Something regarding laptops and CPU affinity, if I recall correctly. But the given "solutions" never quite solved anything, and applying them to PCSX2 solved even less.
I'm not sure why that happens but the reason is probably "laptop", considering everyone else with a proper desktop pc seems to run it just fine. Maybe once it overheats it slows stuff down in a attempt to save power or something, I dunno.
This has been... Frustrating, to say the least.
Any advice on this would be appreciated.
